Bowls
A new sport for me as of 2014.
But a sport I had always had an interest in.

On a whim i visited the Cirencester Bowls Club on their open
day in May 2014 to have a go with the use of club shoes and
club bowling balls.
I enjoyed this so became a temporary member for the rest of
that year having some expert coaching from John Barrett.
After being passed out as fit to use the facilities on my own i
spent a few afternoons just practising on my own.
In 2015 i joined as a full member for the summer season and
also volunteering to help with the gardening and DIY sections
of the club.
I was on a monthly rota for cutting the grass around the edges
of the green and helping to paint some of the benches around
the green.
I also entered some of the club competitions.
I entered the Mens Singles (4 wood)
The Mens Handicapped Singles
The Mens Pairs
Malcolm Jones Trophy (up to 3 years) Mixed Singles
I also entered the club Triples competition played on a Thursday
night.
Other Thursday nights i wasn’t selected to play in the Triples there
was the club night that was drawn from the hat.
There was also a Friday afternoon roll-up but I never had time to try
this out.
