A bursary is available from Bowls England

 to assist with the costs of the course.

IMPORTANT

The year runs from 1st October to 30th September the following year.



If a junior only bowls Outdoors the year will run from 1st May to 30th April the following year.

All parent consent forms must be kept by the Safeguarding Officer

The club is safeguarding all members and visitors to its premises.
