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?

Did you watch world indoor bowls on television and fancy having a go?

If so, we’d love to meet you! Indoor bowls is perfect to play in this cold weather. It’s friendly, inexpensive, helps keep you fit and you can try it out for FREE!

Bowls is a great social sport and an excellent way to get some exercise, get out of the house and meet new people, whatever your age or ability. You can play at your own level and at a time that suits you.

To help you make your mind up, we offer a FREE Taster session when you can come to the club, have a look round and play a few ends on the green.

We can’t promise you’ll be up to World Bowls standard, but you will get a feel for the game.
