Bowls event in Suffolk

The Rookery Bowls Club in Stowmarket, Suffolk, kindly hosted a Bowls taster event for members of Blind Veterans UK and their guests in August.

Club officers, coaches and members from the bowls club provided fantastic support to us all both on and off the green.

We received some great coaching which was followed by some team matches, with all games being played in fantastic spirit with lots of giggles.

A splendid lunch was provided, and certificates were presented to the winners and runners up to bring a perfect end to the day. A fantastic day which everyone enjoyed with some members keen to take up or return to bowls at their local clubs.

“Here at the Rookery Bowling Club, we take the approach of being open to all regardless of age, ability or disability. We welcomed the opportunity to host an event for Blind Veterans UK to introduce their Members to the game of bowls and show that having a visual impairment doesn’t preclude them from joining in."
