BOWLS is played by people of all ages, as the basics are easy to pick up and you can play any time, day or night. Traditionally it’s been seen as an older person’s game, but in recent years an increasing number of younger people are taking up bowls.

At The Bell Bowling Club, club vice-president and development officer Sharolyn Dacey is on a mission to teach the game to the youth.
She told the Herald that bowls is a vibrant game that can be enjoyed by all ages. “It is easy to understand but not so easy to master.
The aim is simple – to get your bowls as close as possible to a smaller target ball called the ‘jack’. It is game of skill but it is also very sociable,” explained Ms Dacey.
She pointed out that to play consistently well demands determination, concentration and practice. Because it is low impact, bowlers are able to continue playing for many years. “Bowls is quick to learn, good fun and really adaptable, so it’s ideal for children and young people.”
