Disability Bowls and Inclusion Workshops

On 18 September 2021, Bowls Wiltshire will be hosting a Disability Bowls England event to showcase how clubs can support people to play bowls with a variety of impairments. Disability Bowls England members will be showing their skills on the green at Devizes from 2 pm.

To further support Clubs, Bowls Wiltshire will be hosting the Coach Bowls Inclusion Module which is described below:

“This 2-hour online module helps clubs, volunteers and coaches look at how they can make their club accessible to all bowlers, regardless of ability, mobility, disability, age, and so on.

The module provides the information to help clubs recognize that any member may need some additional support or some adaptations at times, even through injury! It will help to highlight areas that a club can build on to help attract new bowlers and enhance existing members' experiences.”

There is a Zoom session on 11 September 2021 at 2 pm and a practical demonstration on 18 September 2021 at 2 pm at Devizes Bowls Club.

This module costs £25 per person and Bowls Wiltshire is offering a £10 Grant per person towards the costs which can be claimed after completing the course. To book on the course please follow the link below:

The course has been commissioned for the benefit of Bowls Wiltshire clubs primarily, however, if there are spare places then these will be offered to other clubs outside Wiltshire, without the grants of course!
