Is this a league where I am committed to scheduled games?
No, teams are created onsite, on the day of play. There are no leagues and no commitments to specific days or times. You can play as often as you like.
Is there any equipment needed?
Bowls are provided for free for the first year of membership. Starting in your second year, you will pay a nominal amount to rent bowls for the season.
We recommend you bring a small towel to use for wiping your bowls during the game due to moisture or grass accumulation.
Interested Bowlers (non-members)
People who are interested in trying Lawn bowling for the first time are welcome to attend our “Try Out” sessions. This is comprised of two lessons which will give you a good understanding of the theoretical and practical application of knowledge and practice, for the sport of Lawn bowling. You will be able to try Lawn bowling under the guidance of an experienced member who can assist and answer any questions you may have. This is an excellent opportunity to try Lawn bowling to see how you enjoy it with no commitment.
