We have two outdoor bowling greens which we want to be used by all ages within the local community. They need annual maintenance to be playable throughout the year, which we need funding for, as one unfortunately had to be closed last year. We also have a function room big enough for an indoor bowling facility that can be used throughout the winter months to help keep people active. To achieve this we will need to purchase a mat and sets of indoor bowls. We will also need to purchase sets of junior bowls for use by the local primary schools. The aim is to give more members of the local community access to a facility enabling them to undertake a moderate degree of regular and enjoyable activity. We are also planning a Family Fun Day to attract all ages to the club on a day where we can promote the facilities. There will also be an end of season get to together to further cement the relationship with the community and to launch the indoor facility.

What we'll deliver:

• Two well maintained bowling greens playable throughout the year
• An indoor bowling facility for use in winter
• New bowling equipment for use by the appropriate age groups
• Family Fun Day and End of Season get together to further promote the facilities

Why it's a great idea:

More members of the local the community can become regularly activity by being involved in a fun and gentle easy to play sport.

Steps to get it done:

• purchase of indoor bowling mat September 2023
• second green open for social and community bowling April 2023
