At Bowls England we have a clear mission - to promote and develop the sport of lawn bowls so it enriches the lives of its participants, connects communities and is in good health for future generations.
Who designed that god awful England kit? And when will the powers that be realise that these are the colours of the Union flag, not the flag of England. A simple red and white , guys! Come on!
I take my hat off to not only greenkeepers but everyone who work tirelessly behind the scenes at clubs up and down the country. Without their work there would be no bowls to enjoy!
For an historical context, would this be known as Scottish Bowls? I've been following the Irish Road Bowling for several years and thus have been interested in the overall history..
is it normal for players to fire so often at a national level? a lot of times it seemed like the better option was to draw and yet they have a go at it almost everytime, feels like theyr kinda just setting themselves up to drop a lot more than if they were to make a draw to at least cut the score down
It's a very interesting pod cast. I'm 74 and new to bowling, I have bought a copy of John's coaching book, which I found very helpful. It has been uplifting to hear from the great man himself. Thank you.
I am a bowler and I get very annoyed when I come up with a player that uses the one foot hovering above the mat how can that be fair. If it can’t be proved that the foot doesn’t move away from the mat Before the bowl leaves the players hand if that is the case why allow the practice. Your unhappy.
We have had a proposal, which I am resisting, to have someone check players shoes to make sure that they are flat smooth with no heal and NO TREAD on the flat sole. The short video of what to wear for Bowls seems to be the only real clear definition.
The Laws of The Game of Bowls requires when an umpires is called on to measure all players must retreat on to the bank, here we see players almost standing over the umpire, not a good representation of the Laws of Bowls for up and coming young bowlers, these National players should be setting an example, also the umpire should ask the players to do so.
