SHORT MAT BOWLS CLUB
Tuesday 19:00 – 21:00hrs September – April only
We are a friendly club, and welcome both Men & Women of all ages who can compete on equal terms.
The mats we play on are shorter than the outdoor grass rinks, and therefore need less strength to bowl, although control of your bowl is more critical.
People often play this during the winter when outdoor bowls have finished.
The first 2 sessions are free for those who want to try it, or those wishing to join, thereafter it is £3 a night with a £20 joining fee.
As well as having the normal games we have internal competitions which you are free to join, as are the coffee and tea during the break.
