Lawn Bowling

The Rules

One of the reasons Lawn Bowling is so popular at Brits is that it is so easy to play. Whatever age, gender, physical or academic prowess - it doesn't matter! Anybody can learn the rules and play to a good standard very quickly. It's very similar to Bocce Ball - just make sure you ROLL YOUR BOWLS!

The Basics

  • Two teams consisting of 1,2 or 4 players compete against each other.

  • Each team rolls 4 bowls per end towards an object ball (the jack); bowls are rolled alternately by the teams.

  • Each end lasts about 5 minutes, so over an hour you can normally play 12 or so ends.

  • The team with the closest bowl to the jack scores 1 point. If their next nearest bowl is closer to the jack than their opponent's best bowl then they score 2 points and so on. Therefore, the maximum points from one end is 4 points and the minimum is one point.

  • Teams can decide themselves what score they want to play up to, although many teams just keep score until their scheduled time is up.

  • Remember! The lawn needs a lot of care and attention - no running, no jumping and NO TOSSERS!

Brit's Bowling Club

Brit's Bowling Club started in 1998. The Club is fully subscribed at present and, unfortunately, there is approximately a 10-year wait for a team. Our club is comprised of two leagues, the Premier and the Scottish, playing on Tuesday and Monday nights through the summer.
