Coaching Sessions

Following a taster session, if you are interested, the Club would normally ask a beginner to attend 5 basic coaching sessions offered at 6pm on Monday evenings from 5th May to the end of August before applying for membership. Whilst you can apply for membership at any time, these sessions allow the Club to get to know potential members, aim to teach the rudiments of bowls in approximately five sessions and enable the individual to determine if bowls and the Club are for them before committing themselves to significant expenditure.
There are a selection of bowls (woods) and bowling shoes available for the use beginners.
Please wear trainers or flat shoes without heels during the coaching sessions. Bowlers with experience are welcome to coaching sessions where they can introduce themselves and get to know the Club.
