Activity Name
Bowls Club

Details
Indoor short mat Bowls.
This is a community outreach activity for local people who might be interested in playing short mat bowls.  We have a mixture of church members and local people, with the aim to provide a friendly atmosphere, so that local people will be interested in coming to other activities of the church. Short Mat Bowls is played indoors on a 40-45 ft long mat with biased ‘woods’ (same as outdoor bowls), but with a wooden block in the middle to make it more difficult.

The club meets every Monday evening in a happy, relaxed atmosphere in the back hall of the church.  We currently have about 16 members, of whom about half are members of the church.  Being a church team, we normally finish with a prayer.  To give us a challenge, about twice a month we play other short mat bowls clubs in the area, from such places as Pinewood, Bracknell, Yateley and Ascot.  These are ‘friendly’ matches, half being played at home and half away.  Though the bowls is competitive, the atmosphere is normally very friendly, with a mid session break for food to help things along.
