Our first try at bowls

Published

by Susan

The Salford Ranger Team put on a free open afternoon at the bowling green in Salford for any ages to attend. We thought we’d go along and have a go! I found this event from my weekly search on Eventbrite. This is the same team that ran the bat walk we went on (Bat Walk 3 May 2021)

It turned out to be a brilliant way to spend the afternoon! The club was so welcoming and one of their members Richard bravely took on the role of Team Wint (plus Grandma) mentor and coach. We all took to it really well and we were soon discussing tactics and tricks. It was lovely playing a sport as a family and it didn’t get too competitive (well, perhaps it did just a little bit…).

I’m going to see if our local bowling club will do a daytime session for local home edders. I feel my bowling career is not over just yet…

This course was all water-based and each session was three hours long. Parents can stay in the grounds (and watch if they wish) or drop off ... Read more
