Our four-step process

Space filled — we confirm
Once the ad space is filled and settled with the advertiser, we get in touch to confirm your club is approved.
"We confirm your club by phone or email."
We send your free scoreboards
Your White Knight scoreboards are delivered to your club, Lifetime guarantee for as long as the advertising space on your scoreboard is sold — and if a sponsor doesn't renew, you keep your scoreboard; we never take it back and we keep working to renew or find a new advertiser.
"The scoreboard is yours to keep."
Founder story
Founder's story
Chris Spry is a retired cricket coach with a background in engineering. He took up lawn bowling in 2024 and re-designed the scoreboards for his local club. The high-quality scoreboards became admired and sought after by many visiting clubs.
Today the scoreboards are seen across the UK, from Swanage in the South to Markinch in the North. Chris is joined by Harvey and Morgan as we continue to grow.
BowlScoreboard will endeavour to continue a good service to the Bowls Community, for many years to come. The latest model can be seen at the National Finals, Leamington Spa.
