PlayBowls with Bowls Bash
Why PlayBowls?
Bowls is a sport everyone can enjoy, whether you're 9 or 90! It is intrinsically accessible, no matter your age, gender, ethnicity or ability. It's also so sociable - as you'll find out when visiting one of our friendly clubs! The health benefits of sport are well-known, and bowls offers a low impact way to stay vitalized. And of course - that moment as your bowl winds its way towards the jack is truly mesmerizing!
It's time to give bowls a go - its #AllToPlayFor
How do we play?
Bowls takes a second to learn, but a lifetime to master. Like boules on the beach or a game of skittles, it’ll take you no time to figure out the basic rules of the game.
Bowls is played on a square of grass called a green, which is divided into lanes called rinks. Players take turns to deliver their bowls from a mat at one end of the rink towards a small white target ball, often referred to as the ’jack’, situated near the other end. The bowls are shaped so that they take a curved path towards the jack, known as the bias.
The aim of the game is to get your bowls closest to the jack. One point is given for each bowl nearer the jack than the nearest bowl of your opponent. For example, if you or your team has three bowls closer to the jack than your opponent’s nearest bowl then you will score three for that end.
Each game is split into individual ends. After playing all the bowls in one direction and agreeing the score, the next end is played back down the rink in the opposite direction. The winner of the previous end will cast the jack.
I would like to have a go. How do I arrange it?
At Nailsworth Mills Bowling Club we hold regular 'Bowls Bash' days, plus we set aside two rinks every Friday throughout the season for newcomers to come along and have a go. Bring friends and family and give it a try. A game last around 1 hour and you'll get tuition and help throughout.
