Not at all! For your first few visits or taster sessions, all you need are flat-soled shoes (like trainers) to protect the green. The club provides a wide range of bowls that you can borrow at no charge while you are learning.

Lawn bowls is famously easy to start! Most people pick up the basics within a single session. It is a game of precision and tactics, not strength, making it one of those sports that is relatively easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master.

A friendly club game (usually 10 to 12 ends) takes around one and a half to two hours. If you attend a social drop-in session, you can usually play for as long or as little as you like, depending on your schedule.
-
No, white clothing is usually only required for formal competitions or inter-club matches. For regular club roll-ups and social play, we encourage smart-casual, comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily.
