Looking for a new hobby? Consider playing indoor lawn bowls at East Dorset Indoor Bowls Club. This engaging and precise sport offers a great opportunity to build a new social circle. Age is no barrier, as the club welcomes members of all ages, from school students to those in their 90s. Even if you can't participate in strenuous activities, indoor bowls could be the perfect sport for you.
The objective of the game is to get your bowls as close as possible to a small yellow or white ball called the 'jack'. Despite its seemingly simple goal, the tactical challenge of navigating the bowls' curved paths and the presence of other bowls on the green make it an exciting and strategic game.
After the match, you can relax with a seat and a few beers. The club has a growing disabled section and encourages more members to join. If you're interested in trying out bowling, you can book a free taster session with one of the coaches who will provide all the necessary equipment. Additionally, the club offers beginners' coaching courses where you can learn the rules, tactics, and etiquette of the sport.
Open days are scheduled for February 17th and 18th, where you can explore the club and participate in taster sessions. East Dorset IBC has a team of fully accredited coaches who cater to all ages and abilities. Group and individual training is available for members and non-members alike.
The cost of membership varies based on age and type, with full membership allowing regular bowl play, league participation, and competition entry. Social membership is also available for those who prefer not to bowl but would still like to engage in the club's social activities.
If you're interested in becoming a member or re-joining the club, you can contact the Membership Secretary for the latest membership form and fee information. The East Dorset Indoor Bowls Club is located at Stony Lane South, Christchurch, United Kingdom.
