Why Play Bowls ?
Bowls provides healthy, gentle exercise all year round in a relaxed atmosphere, but at the same time it is a game of skill, providing as much of a challenge as you decide to take on. Games can be played with either 2, 3 or 4 bowls (also called woods). Singles matches are normally played with 4 woods per player, whilst other “team” formats can be either 3 woods each or 2 woods each. For preference the club tries to play triples matches, either in the league and friendly matches, or in the in-house club roll-ups.
How Do You Start ?
Beginners are made most welcome at any time of year. You can try out the game for free for 4 weeks and benefit from formal coaching and friendly instruction during that time.
What Happens If You Decide To Join After The 4 Weeks ?
We run competitions and leagues throughout the year, but for those of you who want more fun and less competition, there are 7 casual, open-to-all club sessions over 6 days each week and we are also planning to introduce more sessions on weekday evenings. These sessions are where new members usually start to enjoy the game and quickly make friends.
