Disability Bowls
Bowls is a game that can be enjoyed at a social and competitive game by all, and as an inclusive club we have obtained funding to purchase an extensive range of equipment to assist people with disabilities to enjoy our sport. Whether you have physical, sensory, or learning (Intellectual) disability, you are welcome to try out bowls. We have specialist bowls wheelchairs for use on the green, and various devices to assist those with physical disabilities like loss of limb or trouble with bending low. Anyone who joins is fully integrated into the club and can play alongside all members in casual roll-ups, club competitions and competitive fixtures. From May we will also be holding regular sessions for people with memory problems, including mild and moderate dementia. Contact us for more information.
Junior Bowls
Bowls is also a game that can be played by people of all ages and in May we start our own Junior Section. We have obtained funding for equipment needed to get juniors playing. We will take any age from seven years up to fifteen. Juniors will be divided into appropriate age groups, supported by trained coaches. Our weekly Junior sessions will be on Saturday mornings at 11.00am, commencing 1 May. We will also run a summer school – look out for details. Parents are welcome to stay, and even help out!
