Coaching 2026 

Saturday Morning Coaching

Following on from our successful 2025 recruitment drive and coaching programme I am pleased to update you with news that our 2026 programme will commence Saturday 25th April 10am to 12 noon and will run through to the end of August. These sessions are for both beginners and those looking to improve their game.

All equipment provided all we ask is that you wear flat soled non heeled shoes.

Tuesday or Thursday Improvers Practise Sessions

For 2026 we will be holding practise nights on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 6pm to 7.30pm. Commencing Tuesday 28th April. These practise sessions are aimed at improving your skills over a range of shot scenarios you could face whilst bowling. These sessions are for A Team.....B Team and our Ladies team......basically all club members who play bowls.

When did you last practise the following?

Cover or Blockers.......Trailing the Jack........Firing/disturbing the head......Last 2 mtr shots......Mat Positioning and how about communication skills within your team and how to read the head?

You could be faced by many of these situations whilst playing so rather than facing a shot in game that you have never played before why not practise in advance?

Remember the saying....."the more I practise the better I get".

The dates for these coaching sessions are: 

28th April 2026; 5th May 2026; 14th May 2026; 21st May 2026; 28th May 2026; 4th June 2026; 25th June 2026; 30th June 2026;

9th July 2026; 14th July 2026; 23rd July 2026; 30th July 2026; 4th August 2026; 13th August 2026 & 18th August 2026.

Marker Awareness 

We will also be holding a Markers Awareness session on Sunday 17th May 2026 from 10am to 12 noon aimed at those who have not marked before or those who would like to learn more.

As a club that holds singles competitions and also has club members playing in MDL and County singles competitions we need to have competent markers.

These sessions are both informative and enjoyable and cover both theory and practical.
