Short Mat Bowling
The Short Mat Bowling Group welcomes new members. The group meets on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 1.30 pm at the Cobourg Community Centre from October to April.
The principles of short mat bowling are similar to those of lawn bowling. The game is played on a mat 45 feet long by 6 feet wide using standard lawn bowls. Short mat bowling requires no physical effort and is an ideal winter sport for those who want to learn and try bowling or for those who are no longer physically able to bowl outdoors.
It is primarily a social sport but for those who wish to play more competitively new opportunities are available as the group runs some open tournaments and there are national championships run by the Canadian Short Mat Bowling Association to which to which we belong.
