That is interesting Rick...I wonder why Bowls has not caught on so much on your side of the pond as it has here......In the UK Bowls is by far the biggest competetive participant sport. There are more registered bowlers than there are footballers or golfers. In Edinburgh there are just under 60 clubs all with a membership of around the 100-200 mark (over 9000 bowlers in total) and every town and village of note in Scotland has at least one bowling green.
It is a great sport demanding much skill and is suitable for all ages. It is one of the few sports where men can compete against women and boys compete against men on equal terms. Most clubs I know offer fantastic facilities and social activities outside bowls.....Most clubs have a bar and large function hall where bands and cabaret acts can perform....I rely on them a lot for gigs.
