WATCH THE NATIONAL FINALS
Bowls England is pleased to announce that all 18 days of the Aviva National Finals from Leamington will be streamed online and available for everyone to view free of charge, starting 15 August. Up to 50 outdoor games for you to watch online http://bowlstv.bowlsengland.com or visit the Bowls England website for the Event Schedule and tickets.
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!
