Welcome

Welcome to the 2024 Lawn Bowling Season

We have had an early spring and the greens crew has made good progress in getting the green ready for bowling.  We will kick off with a fun tournament on May 15 and resume Jitneys and the Monday evening house league in May.  

This year the DRLBC Executive is looking forward to taking advantage of the lights that were installed last year and introducing new participants to the fun and fellowship of our sport.  Stay tuned for our initiatives in this area.

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!
