God help us, first it's golfers then underslung bungers what next? Is there no end to the depravity on this website?
Apparently good quality/condition bowls are very easy to buy cheap at car boot sales.... Probably a bit too late for @the-muffin-man but may be of interest to others of a certain age 😉
My first two sets of bowls have been used, and seeing as I'm now Chairman of the bowls club (😎) - and know what works for me now - I thought I'd treat myself to a new pair!
A lot of the proper old woods are massive too and would probably need turning down to make the surface good again.
As for bowls and age - there are loads of younger players especially in the cities where they have a bigger catchment area.
Lots of clubs will be looking for new members over the coming months - and seriously if you haven't tried it give it a go. Crown Green bowls is best of course(!) and gets rather interesting when there are four matches being played at once.
I assume for the "Young Jibber" player, there is a MX version with different sized balls (!) 🙂

Has the winter attrition rate of existing members been particularly high this year?
My grandad had an ideal, bowling related death; dropped dead from a heart attack one sunny afternoon on Pateley bridge bowling green. Couldn't really ask for a better way to go, doing something he loved.
