WHY I LOVE BOWLS . . .

Comments from Bowlers on the EIBA Facebook page – January 2023

“Bowls is a great sport which men & women can play as equals & against each other, no discrimination at all.”

“I love the competitions, open to all, easily accessible at varying levels. Easy to challenge yourself.”

“A sport that provides both mental and health benefits, open to all ages. It is competitive or as social as you want it to be, but be warned, it will take you and you will be hooked!! Let’s all roll to bowls!!”

“You won’t find many cheaper activities than bowls. You only need to buy kit once and this can be picked up secondhand. Subscriptions and green fees are reasonable for the return and the low bar prices are not to be sniffed at in the current climate.”

SO WHY NOT GIVE INDOOR BOWLS A TRY?

FREE TASTER SESSIONS ARE HELD AT THE CLUB ON ALTERNATE SATURDAY MORNINGS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER MONTHS.

Please bring clean, flat soled shoes, free parking. Our coaches are waiting to meet you.

WBIBC ON CHANNEL 4

HOBBY MAN – CHANNEL 4, FRIDAY 2ND SEPTEMER AT 8.00 PM

Filming took place at the club in April for a new 4-part series now showing on Channel 4 called HOBBY MAN, starring Alex Brooker, Joe Thomas and Scarlet Moffatt.

The series follows Alex and his celebrity mates trying out new hobbies from brewing to bowls. The film crew spent all morning at the club when Angela attempted to give Alex and Joe a Taster session. There were lots of expletives as Alex tried to deliver a bowl, but he got it in the end. The episode will be shown on Friday, 2nd September at 8.00 pm. We haven’t seen a preview so who knows! Perhaps lots of out-takes?! Should be fun.
