Our bowling green officially opens for the season this Tuesday! We're hosting FREE taster sessions every Tuesday morning from 10am to 12pm, perfect for new and returning bowlers.
New to bowls? Don't sweat it! We'll provide bowls for you to use, and a friendly member of our Sub Bowls Committee will be there every Tuesday to teach you the basics. From grip to delivery, they'll get you started on the right foot (or should we say, mat?).
LAWN BOWLS FUN FACT 2: SHAKESPEARE WAS AN ENTHUSIAST
Shakespeare was apparently a member of a bowling club, and his plays are littered with references to the sport. Cymbeline, which was written around 1610, contains one of the first recorded mentions of the jack – “Was there ever man had such luck! When I kissed the jack, upon an up-cast to be hit away.”
