Fears have been raised that a new pay and display car park being built at County Hall could spell the end for a decades-old bowls club.
The Norfolk County Council Staff Bowls Club has been playing at the council's headquarters for 47 years, with players parking their cars alongside the green.
However, with the county council looking to build the new car park, club members have been left without parking close to the green.
Instead, bowlers have been asked to find parking elsewhere, a greater walking distance from the green, leading to fears from the club's secretary that members will vote with their feet.
Alan Middleton, club secretary, said: 'We are a club of some 45 members and the average age of the club is around 74, so there are real problems of access now.
'Our bowls are heavy, so the last thing we want is to have to lug them any further.'
The club has already been forced to reverse a number of its home fixtures due to concerns visiting teams will not be able to find sufficient parking.
Mr Middleton added: 'We're really worried members will say 'enough is enough'.
'The club has been very badly treated over this matter. Without being able to park near the green the club has no future.
'However, with some compromise and minor alterations to the proposals, the parking and access problems could be resolved.'
County Hall, though, insisted the project would provide a much-needed solution to parking troubles experienced by staff, and that the club was kept informed through the planning process.
A spokesman for Norfolk County Council said: 'Around 2,000 people work at County Hall each day and the council currently provides 120 pay and display places. Over the next few months, the council is expanding this to 218 spaces.
'Unfortunately, with the works, safe access cannot be provided to the bowls club by car and users will need to park nearby and walk to the club.
'Once the works are finished, bowls club members will be welcome to use the new pay and display car park.'
