Lawn Bowling is a friendly sport suitable for all ages and physical abilities. The social aspects of the game are well suited to a relaxed atmosphere and a camaraderie among bowlers. Learn new skills, get outdoors, and meet new people. Students should wear flat-soled shoes - sneakers are suitable! The trainers will provide bowls. In the event of inclement weather (rain or drizzle) the course will still take place however, activity on the green will be limited and instruction will continue at the club indoors and on the porch.
