Our social indoor carpet bowls is played on Tuesday nights during the winter starting at 7.30pm in the Senior Citizens Centre and visitors are always welcome at these sessions. No prior experience is necessary. We are happy to provide tuition and guidance. Members compete in mixed teams of three or four players. Carpet Bowls was devised as a scaled down version of indoor bowls and was designed to be suitable for playing in small halls.The principle aim of the game, is the same as all other bowls disciplines, to deliver your bowl closer to the jack than your opponent.The game is played on a mat approximately 30 feet in length and 6 feet wide, using biased bowls of 4 inches in diameter.All bowlers use the same bowls, this removes the need for players to purchase equipment themselves, making it a relatively inexpensive sport to take up. The mats are manufactured so they can be rolled up, and stored easily.Another important aspect of the game is that it is a sport that is played with no discrimination. Both male and female, children of all ages, as well as less able-bodied people have the ability to compete on an equal footing, at all levels of the game. The cost is $3 per session and this includes the provision of tea/coffee and biscuits and if you are lucky,the odd slice of cake.
