One of the biggest benefits of short mat bowling is its flexibility. The equipment is portable and only needs an area large enough to take a mat 6 foot wide and 45 foot long. It is played in village halls, community centres, social clubs and leisure centres. The game is played by all ages, sexes and abilities who can all compete together – a real family sport.

The club at Halton meets on Tuesday afternoons, between 2 and 4pm. We have two sets of bowls that can be used by new players until you want your own. Numbers are limited by the space as we only have two mats.

Please contact the church and ask for Nigel Doe if you want to give it a try, and he will be able to tell you the present position. Looking forward to meeting you.
