OPEN DAY

Following on from the success of our last Open Weekend in September, when we recruited over 70 new members, our next OPEN DAY will take place on Saturday, 11th January 2025 from 10 am -2 pm.  Everyone in our community is welcome to attend this FREE TASTER DAY. No booking required.

The Beginners COACHING COURSE will start on Saturday, 18th January at 9 am or Monday, 20th January at 5 pm. For just £25 we offer 8 x 2 hr lessons by our qualified coaches. Bowls is a great social sport played by men, women and children of all ages and ability and you can play at a time and level to suit you.

SAVE THE DATE!

NEED MORE EXERCISE?

It has been medically proven that Bowls improves your general health and helps to strengthen the immune system. Playing a game of bowls gives your muscles and joints good anaerobic exercise because you are not giving your cardiovascular system a workout.
During an average game, you will:
*Bend more than 40 times
*Walk about 1260 metres
*Swing your arm more than 40 times to deliver a bowl weighing more than 3 lbs.
This gives your muscles and joints good exercise as well as exercising your mind as you try to outwit your opponent!
