Do you want to learn a game that also qualifies as an exercise, is less strenuous than tennis and more social than golf, and is also budget friendly?

Popular with people of all age, indoor bowls is a challenging game that can be learned easily, although it takes dedication to be the best.

Manukau City Indoor Bowling Association President Roy Ayris says indoor bowls has an appeal that cuts across all ages. “It’s a fully inclusive sport that welcomes people of all ages,” he says.

Anyone can learn how to bowl with a few minutes of instructions. But because consistency is somewhat more difficult to master, it provides the players excitement and motivation to improve. “It is therefore ideal for the whole family or groups of friends,” adds Roy.

The Association holds its events at the participating clubs you can find these on our website. The best way to find out if you have a flair for this wonderful sport is to turn up at any of the venues and have a go. The only requirement is you arrive in a pair of flat-soled shoes, and your local club will supply the rest. Coaching is available at all clubs.* With a range of clubs to choose from, you and your family can play on the preferred day of the week at your convenience. The Association holds all its tournaments on Saturdays. Players can progress up to the national level.

Roy, who has been playing indoor bowls for more than 40 years, says the Association runs with the support provided by the local community. “I would like to offer a big thank you to • Summerset on the Park • Acacia Cove Village • Minishifts • Susan Dyson, Professionals • Bupa Wattle Downs for their sponsorships.”

*Membership is required to play in the Cosmopolitan clubs. The annual membership fee is less than it costs to buy dinner at a decent restaurant. The bonus is that the club houses are excellent venues for freshly prepared home cooked meals, well priced drinks, and loads of exciting events year round. For more information call Roy at 09 268 2117
