2020 Pandemic Season
Our 2020 season was in the midst of a global pandemic and our club continued to thrive. We all suprised ourselves with what we could collectively accomplish. We became innovators, leaders, stepped up as volunteers, supported one another, salvaged the season and we remained committed. We did this safely with our newly appointed Safety Officer who developed the protocals and ensured smooth operations for all members.

The object of bowls is to roll your bowl as close to the target as possible. Between setting up your scoring strategy and defending your points, there is always something changing in a game of bowls.
