Getting Started

We can provide instruction for beginners.

Initially the only equipment you will need is:-

• A pair of smooth flat-soled shoes;
• A white top (blouse, shirt, polo shirt and, depending on the temperature, a sweater or sweatshirt); and
• grey bottoms (skirt, trousers or shorts)

Waterproof clothing may also be required - we do play in light rain or drizzle.

We have sets of woods in various sizes and weights to loan as you try the game. Frequently new players are able to purchase second-hand woods. Advice from club members about the suitability of bowls for you will minimise the risk of making an expensive mistake when purchasing a new set of woods!

We supply mats, jacks, scorecards etc. You can buy measures and other small items of equipment at a later date
