Bowls is a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages and played both indoors and outdoors.

At club level it is a very social game and provides plenty of gentle exercise and a huge dose of competitive spirit.

The WBA and your local club would love to welcome new members and many of the clubs in Wales hold open days or regular sessions where new bowlers can try the game for free.

For more details contact your nearest club.

Tuition is available from a registered bowling coach, who is one of our members.
