Whether you are completely new to bowls or already play elsewhere, you will receive a warm welcome at East Dorset Indoor Bowls Club. We have members of all ages and abilities who enjoy the game for friendship, competition and a bit of recreation out of the house.
Age isn’t a factor, we have members still at school through to some in their 90s. And if, for whatever reason, you can’t take part in strenuous activity, bowls could be the perfect sport for you. If you fancy giving it a go, let us explain how.
The objective of indoor lawn bowls – to give the game its correct title – is simple: just get your bowls as close as possible to a small yellow or white ball called the ‘jack’.
It might sound easy, but the fact that the bowls do not travel in a straight line and there may be other bowls already up there, seriously adds to the tactical challenge.
Add to that the concentration and effort required and you will probably feel you have earned a cup of tea, or something stronger, after the match!
Sound interesting? if you want to find out more, drop in for a chat and a cup of tea or coffee. There is usually someone here who can show you around and answer any questions you have. (See our Opening Hours)
