The minimum requirement for anyone to take up the game is a pair of bowling shoes (not trainers), a set of woods and appropriate clothing. We have a stock of different sized bowls available for you to try before you buy.
Bowls shoes are specific to the sport and have absolutely flat soles with no grips/ markings on them – this is to ensure the playing surfaces (Indoor and Outdoor) are protected.
Roll-Ups
- For roll-ups there is no formal dress code, apart from bowling shoes to protect the green
League Matches and all External Competitions
- For league play, external competitions and any match where a bowler is representing the Club, a Club shirt (available from the Club*) is a requirement and grey or black trousers, skirts or tailored shorts. External Competition finals usually require white trousers, skirts or shorts. *Club jackets are also available.
Friendly Matches
- For friendly games against other clubs we play in mostly grey or black with the odd exception of white below the waist and a Club shirt.
