Brenda Newton has been organising lessons for bowlers completely new to Bowling.
1 hourly sessions are held at St Elphins Park every two weeks from 10am to 11am.
Currently Jim Nurse assists Brenda with the training but if possible Brenda would appreciate more help as there can be up to a dozen bowlers at the sessions.
If anyone could offer assistance please contact Brenda on 07307 857735.

General Data Protection Regulation
The Association needs to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] which took effect in the UK from 25th May 2018. It replaced the existing law on data protection i.e. the Data Protection Act of 1998 and gives individuals more rights and protection in how their personal data is used.
We have now produced a document which shows that the Association follows the updated regulations. The document can be viewed in the GPDR sub menu under the About Us menu.
All teams will also have a copy of the Policy sent to them by email for them to display. All bowlers should also be informed of the document for them to read if they wish.
One point to stress is that if any player does not want their personal data to be available then they can contact the Hon Secretary to inform him.
Prices have been confirmed for the 2025 season.
General Bowling 6 months Adult £44 Concession £29
Bank Park 6 months Adult £52 Concession £36 access fob £15.
Tickets will not be issued to players. All players who have paid for tickets will be on the Council’s records as well as ours and will be available if there are any queries or checks.
This will save both ourselves and the Council a lot of time and effort in issuing the tickets.
