Bowls England has been approached by a healthy living magazine, with a readership of almost one million people, who would like to include a feature on a number of lawn bowls players in a forthcoming edition.

‘Be Healthy’, which is produced for the Benenden Community, is looking to profile a number of people who have found that the sport of lawn bowls has transformed their life on a competitive and/or social level.

Examples of this can be by helping to overcome loneliness or anxiety by finding a new social group, or maybe to get active after being very inactive.

The editor is keen to include representation from a variety of backgrounds with different stories to tell – perhaps a younger woman or someone who has recently relocated to a new area. Please note that these suggestions are just an idea and not an exclusive list.

The magazine would like to arrange for a phone interview and to photograph the interviewee within the next two to three weeks.

This is an excellent opportunity to showcase the benefits of lawn bowls on a social level and we welcome bowlers of all ages to consider taking part in this exciting opportunity.

Anyone interested in taking part should email matt@bowlsengland.com or sian.phillips@thinkpublishing.co.uk.
