Short mat bowls, as the name implies is a game played over a much shorter length than the flat green game. Played indoors, the game is played on a carpet (or mat) between 40-45 ft in length and 6ft wide. Players aim to master the basic skills of lawn bowls (line and length) and can use either smaller short mat bowls or standard size bowls.
When our outdoor green is closed (October – March), the club offers its members the opportunity to play short mat bowls in the clubhouse. Mark Holder organises the popular short mat evenings. Both experienced and novice bowlers are very welcome.
A typical evening starts at 6.30 pm, with bowling commencing at 7.00 pm. The cost is £3.00 for the evening’s bowling and Guests (non-members) pay an additional £2.00. The bar will be open.
