For beginners
The game of bowls has many similarities to curling and bocci ball. At Mann Park, we play on a natural grass surface or “green.” Teams are singles, pairs, triples, or fours. A small ball, called a jack, is a target which is rolled down the grass at the start of the game. The objective is to score by having your bowling bowls lie nearest the jack when the end is complete. But watch out, the jack can be hit and moved by a bowl changing the score in a flash! When all bowls have been played, and the score tallied, the teams now play from the other end. Each game has a set number of ends to be played.
Opportunity to play
A person wanting to take up the sport can contact the club or book and introductory lesson online. The average bowl weighs three and a half pounds and has a bias so it takes skill to move the bowl in the desired direction. Bowling is quite a complex game with other skills and strategies to be learned; coaching is offered throughout the season.
The best time to join the club is at the beginning of the season in April and start lessons with other new bowlers. Of course, new members are welcome at any time.
Fees
There is an annual membership fee for all members. Special fee for new bowlers. If the new person finds the game is unsuitable we have a 30 days money back guarentee.
Other costs at Mann Park are locker rentals ($10). To play in socially competitive games and fun days the cost is usually $5.00
