Bowls, or lawn bowling as it is called in Canada, is a sport that men
and women of all ages can play together on an equal basis. Physical
strength plays a very small part in this game. Skill and strategy are
the real factors and everyone can develop these – one day at a time.
You may choose to play both social and competitive bowls.
We hold a number of tournaments in our club that suit both these interests. Your membership also entitles you to enter tournaments at other clubs around the province as well. The game is much like curling with two, three or four people on a team competing against another team. The Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club is one of the largest in Ontario with over 200 members. Our season starts the third week in May and runs until the end of September. The programs vary with something for everyone, club games, jitneys, or tournaments. We play every day seven days a week afternoon and, evening. The nice part is you are not obligated to come every day we do a random draw according to how many people show up. There are no set teams for social bowls When playing social bowls the teams are always mixed. Twice during the week in our club games the women play on one green while the men play on the other. On Friday evenings there is usually a large turnout. After the game we relax on the patio with teammates and friends talking about missed shots, or how well we played. Each Tuesday afternoon we coach a group of visually impaired bowlers and, during the summer months we teach the children from the Eastview Boys and girls club. In the fall another enthusiastic group of young people from the local high school come out to play with a lots of shouting and laughing. If you would like to try bowls, or find out more about how the game is played we invite you to come to our open house on May 19 - 24 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.. Our friendly coaches will teach you how to play the game and explain the strategy and rules FREE! We guarantee you will have fun while adding this healthy activity to your life. Bring a friend, or come alone everyone is welcome! All you need are flat smooth soled shoes with no heels (this is to protect the grass.) An old pair of running shoes would be suitable for now. We supply the bowls for the instructional sessions and, if you decide to join you may use the club bowls FREE for the first year. **If you are not sure you want to try it but would like to come out and see how it is played we welcome all visitors. So why not join us for a cup of coffee and a cookie!
