Short Mat Bowls comes to Upton ?

October 29, 2010

It is hoped that in the next few weeks a Short Mat Bowls Club will be set up in Upton using the Village Hall. The intention is to organise a regular evening session, probably Monday or Wednesday, and also a mid week daytime session(s), the latter to accommodate those who find attending winter evening sessions difficult.

To help those who are not familiar with the sport four FREE taster sessions have been arranged for Sundays 14 & 28 Nov. 3pm – 4.30pm and Wednesdays 24 Nov. & 15 Dec. 7-45pm – 9pm. 

There will be players from other clubs with their bowls for you to borrow and after a very short introduction and demonstration game, you will be helped to play several ends yourself. Any flat soled shoes or slippers can be used on the bowls carpet or just stocking feet.

It is suitable for all ages and fitness levels (children need to be 10 years or older for safe control of the bowl)

If you are interested contact Joan Durbin on 850035 or just come along to one of the taster sessions.
