Come out to an open house and give lawn bowling a try in Ladner.

The activity and strategy for lawn bowling is like curling, but you play outdoors. It’s like Bocci, but you don’t play in the sand. Golfers will find their putting skills help with lawn bowling. It’s also a great alternative to your current favourite sport when your body is prone to injury. All this for a year-round sport that costs less than $5 a week.

Open houses are set for this Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and every Friday night in May from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

The Ladner Lawn Bowling Club emphasizes casual recreational play on a drop-in basis, but if you are looking for more competitive bowling, the club holds weekly aggregates, in-house tournaments and friendly exchanges with local clubs.

Their clubhouse has a large meeting room, kitchen, and lockers providing an excellent venue for the many club activities that are hosted throughout the year.

If you are a beginner, the club has coaches that can provide lessons and will continue to work with you to develop your game so that you can quickly join in the fun. The club can supply you the bowls for the first year. Just come in flat soled shoes - no heels, no deep treads.

Lawn bowling is a game for everyone, men or women, of all ages and regardless of ability, as all are on equal terms in this game. So, come out and enjoy the great outdoors, meet others that enjoy being active and make new friends.

The club is located at 5128 47th Avenue, across the street from McKee House.
