During June we are offering free lawn bowling lessons every Wednesday evening at 7.00pm. No appointments are necessary. We provide everything you need but please wear flat soled shoes or runners. These are fun evenings at which you will learn about lawn bowling from experienced club bowlers.

These events are sponsored by Palisade Gardens Retirement Community and we thank them for their support
