“Bowling is for old people, a gentle sport” - This is a common misconception as any bowler will tell you.
Bowls clubs are a place to meet people and make new friends. Our social side is very important to us.
We welcome visitors and have a small supply of refreshments. Why not exercise in the sun in a beautiful environment?
Walking:
On average you will walk 2.4 kilometres during a match. Ramsgate Bowls club has a long green of 40 metres.
Lifting Weights:
Bowls vary from size 1 (1.4kg) to 6 (1.6kg).
Singles match (21 ends delivering 84 bowls).
Pairs match (21 ends delivering 84 bowls).
Triples match (18 ends delivering 54 bowls).
Rinks match (21 ends delivering 42 bowls).
Age Inclusive and Beginner Friendly:
Contrary to the stereotype, bowls attracts players of all ages. Young people are increasingly taking up the sport, drawn in by its mix of skill, strategy and friendship.
Beginners are always welcome. So why not give it a try? It is a sport that not only has physical and mental benefits but also is a chance to be part of a welcoming community.
You will see some great bowling at the same time as enjoying the refreshments. We serve home-made cakes and a variety of sandwiches.
We look forward to meeting you.
