A Note For New Bowlers
​
When you start playing bowls and join a club you are classed as a 'Junior' bowler. It doesn't matter how old you are - it is all about your time playing bowls and for your first five years you will be a 'Junior'. As a 'Junior' you will be able to play in all bowls offered by the club as well as Junior events at the club and also Central Otago Bowls Junior Championships.
​
You may decide that you do not want to be a competitive bowler at all and may decide to play only social bowls and enjoy Friday Progressive Bowls and Men's and Women's Club Days.
​
Don't be in too much of a hurry to decide how competitive you want to be. Just get involved and give things a good go in your first year and see how you go!
​
The main thing is to enjoy your bowls!
