Learn to bowl at GULLIVERS
Lawn bowls offers a unique combination of physical and mental well-being, social interaction, and skill development, that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.
The rules of the game are quite straightforward; the player or team with the bowl(s) closest to the jack (the small white ball) at the end of an "end" (a round of play) scores points.
