Barefoot Bowls

Barefoot bowls are all about fun and freedom.

Barefoot bowls are especially for non-members who want to try bowls or who just want to play very socially.
You can actually bowl bare-footed or you can wear suitable shoes (flat soled) or jandals.

We have a good range of bowls you can use. Even if some existing members come along to provide a core, they are required to use supplied bowls as well!

This year we hope to provide a relaxed atmosphere for individuals and families alike. The bar will be open and (with a bit of luck) there will be toasties and other snacks available for purchase. Alternatively we may have a sausage sizzle going instead.

Because we are a club and have a club liquor licence, we require that any one coming to barefoot bowls be a Social Member. Social membership is available for a full season for the one-up cost of $20. Additionally, there is a participation fee of just $5 for each visit (payable on the day).

Sometimes Barefoot Bowls may take on a special format or be the venue for additional activities. Keep an eye on this space for any updates.

Some rules you need to follow ..

• You need to have footwear on when you have finished bowling and you want to come into the clubrooms for a social drink or snack.
• No drinking or eating near the green but you can eat or drink on the seating areas around the green or provided elsewhere in our surrounds.
• No children under 14 can participate.
• Please don't sit on the ditches (the area immediately surrounding the green).
• Remember to roll the bowl along the ground at all times. Do not under any circumstances throw the bowls as this will damage the green. Unfortunately, anyone guilty of throwing a bowl above knee height will be removed from the green immediately.
  The co-ordinator for the day will show you how to correctly deliver a bowl.
