How is Bowls played?

Bowls for members normal games are played either as Pairs (2 players on each team, with each player playing with 4 bowls), or Triples (3 players on each team, with each player playing with 3 bowls). Games are over 21 ends (an “end” is the playing of all bowls by all players from one end to the other) with usually a 3 hour plus duration. At the completion of each end, scores are counted with the team having the nearest bowl(s) to the jack (the small white ball) scoring 1 point for each of those bowls.
Club Championships include Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours.
Bowling events for businesses or social groups is a shortened and simplified form of the game with duration to suit the time available.

The Club is available for event hiring
