Why lawn bowling is perfect game for any age

Shelly Marriage learned the ‘forgotten game’ of lawn bowling at the Ancaster Municipal Lawn Bowling Club.

Mainy people refer to it as the forgotten game because they think it’s just for old people, but it’s actually the perfect game for people of all ages. All you need are flat shoes and they provide the bowls.

The object of lawn bowling is to get your bowl as close to the jack as possible, and then you get points.

If you have never tried lawn bowling before but are interested in the game, there are three club coaches- Mary, Joseph and Brad- who will coach you on your first session. Then you can go three more times to practice and play as a group before you commit to join.

The Ancaster Municipal Lawn Bowling Club has been serving the community for over 80 years with both summer and winter programs are available. Their summer schedule runs until September and the full schedule can be found here.
