Bowls
Information on the Bowls Group
Short Mat Indoors meets at the Crag Bank Village Hall, Carnforth where it joins the local short-mat bowling group. The first Friday in each month is listed in the Diary but in fact the group at Crag Bank meets each Friday from 10.00-12.00 so members can bowl each week if they wish. The current cost is £2 per session and at present people can join regularly or on a more occasional basis.
Crown Green Bowls is a fascinating way to take gentle exercise, in the fresh air, at Bare Village Club, Morecambe. The game is played by both ladies and men competing on an equal footing.
We have a green booked solely for the U3A members every Tuesday, throughout the season which runs from May until October. The session starts at 10 o’clock and lasts to 12 o’clock, unless it rains. However for the last two seasons we have been rained off only about 6 times in total.
You only need flat shoes, as if you do not possess a set of bowls, it is possible to borrow some, without any charge. The charge for the session is a maximum of £3.00, but if enough people attend it can be reduced.
Please do not be deterred if you have never played before, as in the best ways of the U3A, we are a self help group. Our standards run from complete beginner, to people resuming playing from times gone by.
Above all, the group enjoy their Tuesdays, especially during the coffee break when everybody becomes friends.
