Club News
The club, although very successful has until recently not had the means to accomodate individuals who are wheelchair reliant and interested in playing indoor bowls. In June 2017 with the help of £500 in donations we purchased a Bradshaw Bowls Buggy and have already benefited from gaining a number of users.
If your disability means that you are unable to stand, even for a short period of time or continually walk up and down the rink for periods up to and in excess of two and a half hours and are interested in making use of our latest acquisition then please contact the club office.
As from 13th July 2017 Harwich and District Indoor Bowls Club is now fully air conditioned.
Coaching
Three two and a half hour coaching sessions are available at a cost of £5* for "first time bowlers" , both adults and children over the age of 7 by our registered/qualified coaches on a Thursday morning between 10:00 - 12:30 (Other days and times may be available)
If you are interested please contact George Berry on 01255 552621 or the club office.
* This will be deducted from you first years membership fee should you decide to join the club.
