Bowls Big Weekend Club Helpers Workshop - Tuesday 16th May - 6pm and Thursday 18th May - 10am

This workshop aims to provide you with hints and tips on how to structure the first session for new people attending your Bowls Big Weekend Open Day, whilst providing a process for all club volunteers (members) to follow when meeting and greeting new people on their first visit to your club. It will give you practical ideas that keep the session fun and engaging for people trying the sport for the first time as well as ideas to ensure new bowlers come back for a second visit.

Play Bowls Platform and Bowls Bash Awareness Workshop - Monday 15th May - 6pm, Wednesday 17th May - 10am and Friday 19th May - 1pm

The workshop aims to give your club an understanding of the Play Bowls Platform and the benefits it provides. The platform gives clubs an opportunity to increase participation on their greens as well as increasing revenue and the potential to recruit new members whilst advertising the facilities at the club. Bowls Bash is a great introductory format of the game for new players which provides a fun, exciting way to play our sport with more points on offer and is a short introduction to bowls based on external research.

Club Health Checker Awareness Workshop - Monday 15th May - 10am, Tuesday 16th May - 1pm and Thursday 18th May - 6pm

This workshop aims to give you an overview of how to use the Club Health Checker and the benefits it provides. You will gain an understanding as to why you should use the tool annually, who should complete it, what questions it covers and an understanding of the report produced at the end based on the answers given. This tool is being seen as a fantastic opportunity to identify the key development areas of focus within your club and provides a range of accessible opportunities to assist where required.


There are also several online training modules and quick guides which you can undertake in your own time and at your own pace via our Education platform so please take time to see what is available for the benefit of your club or individual learning.

We look forward to seeing you.
