Is bowls just for 'old folks' ....... NO! Almost anyone can play bowls. Take a look at this video by the Bowls Development Alliance (BDA) then get in touch and 'have a go'.
Whether you are new to bowls or just need a refresher, these videos should help you with the objective of the game, your stance, delivery and some common faults.

The Holsworthy Bowling Club in Devon are a friendly club with our main aim being to enjoy our bowls. We welcome new members, beginners, or experienced players. Prospective new members are always welcomed and should either contact us through the website or approach any of the committee members for an application form. Instruction on the game if needed can be given as well as advice about dress, game protocol and green access etc.
When Earl Stanhope granted the Park to the Town, in the Deeds it was mentioned that provision should be made for the Gentlemen of the Parish to play bowls, and an area was earmarked on the Deeds somewhere in the vicinity of what is now the Cricket Square.
Our total Membership (February) is 52, 35 men and 17 ladies although in 1996 it was as high as 87.
Our Annual subscription inclusive of both summer and winter matches and Club games is £80. A modest amount we feel for being able to bowl everyday of the year (weather permitting in summer), with concessions for new members for the first year. For those who just like to come and enjoy the company without playing we do have a Social membership for just £15 a year. Under 18 membership is free.
For many years we have organised bowling events in aid of various Charities including R.N.L.I., S.C.B.U., Air Ambulance and Batten Disease and at March 2018 have raised a total amount in excess of £12,700.
