If you would like to improve your game, or if you are a novice, then our club is an excellent place to start. Our team of male and female coaches can give you all the tips you need to get started or to develop your game.
We offer free coaching to current and prospective members and prefer Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday mornings for coaching appointments. If this is not convenient special arrangements can be made to suit individual needs. Three to five lessons are usually sufficient for you to start playing socially as a member of the club.
One-on-one assistance from our coaching team is always available to members. Just see Robyn Novakovic or Jeff Hole at the club. We run a Fix-your-Game program regularly for individuals requesting help.

Terminology – finding your way around the rinks!
The object of the game is to deliver your bowls so that they finish closer to the jack than those of your opponents.
The Jack is a small white or yellow coloured ball.
Bowls are available in a number of sizes and weights. They have an inbuilt bias, which causes them to curve to one side as they slow down.
1. Delivering the jack.
The Jack is delivered along the centreline of the rink to establish a target towards which players deliver their bowls.
2. Delivering the bowl – forehand.
To allow for the bias of a bowl, for a right hand bowler it is delivered on a line to the right of the rink centreline so that it curves in towards the jack. Opposite for a left hander.
3. Delivering the bowl – backhand.
To allow for the bias of a bowl, for a right hand bowler it is delivered on a line to the left of the rink centreline so that it curves in towards the jack. Opposite for a left hander.
4. Wind Effect
Wind has an effect on the course of the bowl as shown in the diagram. The right side delivery has to be wider and the left side narrower than deliveries made under calm conditions.
