Drills Sessions

We have created this initiatve to assist our bowlers overall game development with a series of focused, one-hour drills sessions to be held over a period of six weeks.

The programme has been carefully thought out to help build on your skills each week and is certainly not just for newer bowlers.  We encourage any bowler at any level to participate.

This a great opportunity to work on your "drills" skills with the company of fellow members and gain an understanding, and the advantages, of recording and monitoring your results. 

We also encourage you to stay on for the 2pm Roll-Up to put your skills of the day into play.

• Starting on Sunday May 26th, this is intended to run for six consecutive weeks
• Each session is scheduled as a focused one hour event starting at 1pm - everyone needs to be ready by 12.45pm to receive the briefing and instructions of the drills for each session
• Numbers are limited - please register below

We are mindful that at this time of year the weather may cause some postponements.  If any rain delays happen the scheduled session will run on to the following week. 

Please download the Sporty App to your phone, postponements will be notified via the  "Alert" function on the App.  If you need guidance to do this, please ask Sharon for assistance.
