Carpet Bowls was devised as a scaled down version of indoor bowls and was designed to be suitable for playing in small halls. The principle aim of the game is the same as all other bowls disciplines which is to deliver your wood closer to the jack than your opponent but with some changes due the carpet and the shorter lane.

The game is played on a mat approximately 30 feet in length and 6 feet wide using biased bowls of 4 inches in diameter. On the centre of the mat there is an 18 inch block and the delivery of the woods takes place from a designated area which prevents the game continually being killed by the firing shot and creates a more interesting and skilful game.

The group caters for absolute beginners up to the more experienced Lawn Green Bowlers. Anyone who might be interested to learn this game would be welcome. Contact Peter by clicking on the Group Email link above if you want more details.

The Carpet Bowls season has started again and the group will meet until the end of March 2026.
