New to Bowls?

BUSTING THE MYTH - bowls is an old peoples game - WRONG!

Though a good number of players you meet are in the latter part of their life, the best time to start is when you're in your 40's, 50's and early 60's.  Muscles, joints and balance are still working as they should. 
Learning the skills needed at that age will help you to carry on playing into your 80's and 90's.

The majority of people find bowls an easy sport to start playing, because the basic skills are not too difficult, and it does not require any great physical strength or athletic ability. A few practice games will quickly get you familiar with the rules and etiquette, and help you understand the scoring system and order of play.

Once armed with the basic skills and knowledge, you can start playing in matches, where the environment is friendly and sociable, mixed with a competitive spirit.
  
After the match, it is common practice to retire to the clubhouse for refreshment, where you can chat and reflect on the successes or shortfalls in the day's play.
