Welcome

Welcome to the 2025 Lawn Bowling Season

We kicked off the 2025 season with a fun tournament on May 14 and our spring general meeting.  The greens crew has been busy repairing the divots from last year’s efforts to get rid of pearlwort, and the green is in great shape.  The DRLBC Executive is looking forward to a fun summer of lawn bowling.  We will be continuing with our drop-in bowling on Friday nights, starting on May 23, a good opportunity to introduce friends and family to the fun and fellowship of our sport.  We are planning an Open House on  Friday, May 30th (rain date, May 31).  Based on last year’s turn-out, it should be well attended.  Also, it is the 50th Anniversary of our club, and we are looking at an event in August to celebrate – stay tuned for more information.

The club welcomes visitors and new members.

Lawn bowling has been played, in one form or another, for thousands of years, combining strategy, competition, sociability, and affordability, but mainly, a whole lot of fun.  The bowls are biased, so they do not roll in a straight line, but in a curve.  This makes the skill of bowling more challenging, as it relies on bowlers judging the distance, weight and aim.  The objective of the game is to roll the bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack”.  It’s a simple game to learn – and one that takes many years to master.

Come and join in!
