Coaching Sessions
The Club would normally expect a beginner to attend the basic coaching session offered at 6pm on Monday evenings from late May to the end of August before applying for membership. 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 woods and bowling shoes available for the use beginners.
We ask participants to wear flat shoes without heels during the training sessions.
