IN EARLY JANUARY RACHEL SMITH FROM THORNHILL PLUS YOU WAS WARMLY WELCOMED BY THE THORNHILL SHORT MAT BOWLS CLUB THAT MEETS TWICE AWEEK AT THORNHILL PRIMARY SCHOOL.

The group was friendly and relaxed and everyone certainly seemed to be having a good time. The club caters for people of all ages and welcomes absolute beginners. In fact, they’re so keen for people to give it a go that they are offering a free trial session. Long-standing member of the club, Jim Staines, explains a little more.

WHAT IS THE CLUB LIKE

We’re a very friendly club – the point of our club is taking part and encouraging people to give it a go.We have friendly matches with other clubs but it doesn’t really matter who wins.We have some youngsters who come along and they are encouraged to take it further and play for the juniors of Hampshire if they want to.

We’ve got several young people who come along on a Friday evening. The fact that they can join in, play in matches and do well is great for their confidence. They can often beat us older ones who’ve been playing for years!

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF BOWLING FOR YOUR MEMBERS?

The main benefit is companionship and the social element of the evening. It’s exercise – you bowl and walk down the mat, so even if you feel like you haven’t walked that far it adds up. It’s not going for a run or anything like that, we’ve got members with crutches and sticks, but they still join in.

Thornhill Short Mat Bowls Club meets everyWednesday and Friday between 6.45 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. at Thornhill Primary School, including a break for tea and a catch up. For more information please contact Jim Staines on
023 8047 4323, or just put on some flat shoes and come along!
