Tommy Metcalfe, the club's president, said: "Lawn Bowls is a healthy and affordable game for young and old. 

"We have members of all ages and abilities — whether they wish to play recreational or competitive bowls."

The club is looking to increase membership for both ladies and men, to give as many as possible the chance of trying the sport of bowls.
