Advice for New Bowlers
Any member of the Executive or coaches will be pleased to assist with any queries you may have.
Please feel free to use bowls belonging to the club during your first year or so. You should try out several sizes to help you decide what bowls you will eventually procure. Before purchasing bowls, you should seek advice from one of the coaches to assist you to obtain the bowls that best suit you. Do not remove bowls from the Club without permission.
From time to time other club members have bowls and other items for sale at very reasonable prices. Keep a lookout on the notice boards for these sales.

Roll-ups are scheduled for 1.30pm Saturday and 1.00 pm on Wednesdays. Intending players must have their name discs in the draw box at least 15 minutes prior to the start time.
