โBeing open to shorter formats of our game and fast paced formats with the likes of powerplays and set jack lengths should be something we all encourage. Starting to introduce some of these formats at club level would help to align with World Bowls events and other major tournaments. Imagine a person who has never played bowls before watches a 7 end fast paced game on TV but then goes to his/her local club and they encounter a 21 end marathon game, that you only play 2 bowls every 10 minutes...a vastly different prospect.
As well as shorter formats, the introduction of background music while playing, ability to sub players in and out and live streaming events are other aspects to explore when trying to make our game more appealing.โ ... See MoreSee Less

Vale: Margaret Fettes
World Bowls recently learnt of the passing of former Board Director Margaret Fettes.
Margaretโs passion was lawn bowling, where as a member of the Commonwealth Lawn Bowling Club she represented the province many times at national competitions, winning many medals. She played on the Canadian National team from 1992 to 1994, winning a gold medal at the Pacific Rim Championships and representing Canada at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria.
She also held many executive positions at the provincial and national level, including President of Lawn Bowls Canada and served as team manager at various events around the world.
Margaret was elected to the World Bowls Council in 2003 a position she held for over nine years and travelled the world promoting Lawn Bowls. She concluded her service on December 6 2012.
On behalf of the World Board, staff and our Members, we offer our deepest condolences to Margaretโs family, friends, and all at Bowls Canada. ... See MoreSee Less
Margaret was my skip in the 4s in 2010 when we won the Alberta Provincial Championship, undefeated and went on to win gold at the Canadian National Championships. She was a lovely person.

Our Club Coach found his way onto the Belfast IndoorBowls greens today courtesy of the amazing hospitality from Honorary Secretary, Chris Mulholland. Carpet was rolling 17 seconds. Outstanding double green facility of 500 members that welcomes all who come. National Irish Pairs qualifiers were underway on the lower green. What an experience.

Our Coach made it to the far reaches of Glasgow for the holy pilgrimage to the Taylor Bowls Ltd factory (Est. 1796). No more tours of the production floor - โWe donโt want our competitors knowing our secretsโ he was told. However, he did manage to smuggle these pictures out. Too bad the Kelvingrove greens (home of the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games) were already closed. ... See MoreSee Less

As #CoachesWeek continues, weโd like to introduce you to our dedicated regional coaches! The Regional Coaching Network aims to provide additional coaching resources at a local level and to also provide a bridge between local players and national team programming, including ensuring the Youth National Squad members receive the coaching support they need.
When asked why Pat Vos coached, she told us: "My reasons are twofold. One, to ensure I give back for all the opportunities and success I was able to enjoy while a player. And secondly, because there is so much joy in seeing a youth athlete or a para player work towards achieving their potential and experience success at the provincial, national and/or international level."
Thank you Pat for all your work as a coach!

Alors que la #Semainedesentraรฎneurs continue, nous aimerions vous prรฉsenter nos entraรฎneurs rรฉgionaux dรฉvouรฉs ! Le rรฉseau d'entraรฎneurs rรฉgionaux vise ร fournir des ressources supplรฉmentaires en matiรจre d'entraรฎnement au niveau local et ร faire le lien entre les joueurs locaux et les programmes de l'รฉquipe nationale, notamment en veillant ร ce que les membres de l'รฉquipe nationale des jeunes reรงoivent l'aide ร l'entraรฎnement dont ils ont besoin.
Quand on demande ร Pat Vos pourquoi elle est entraรฎneuse, elle nous raconte : "Mes raisons sont doubles. Premiรจrement, je veux m'assurer de pouvoir rendre ร mon tour toutes les opportunitรฉs et tous les succรจs dont j'ai pu bรฉnรฉficier en tant que joueuse. Et deuxiรจmement, parce qu'il y a tellement de joie ร voir un jeune athlรจte ou un joueur de paraboulingrin travailler pour atteindre son potentiel et connaรฎtre le succรจs au niveau provincial, national et/ou international."
Merci Pat pour tout ton travail en tant que coach ! ... See MoreSee Less

Love these common sense etiquette ideasโฆ ... See MoreSee Less
All are good, but especially straying into another rink. ๐
I remember a similar document like this being handed out to all new OLBA members when I started playing bowls. Perhaps Bowls Alberta can provide a similar document to members?
Its missing, players must make an exerted effort to finish the game on time, especially during late game ends.
these are not just etiquette - some are actually rules!!!
