Members of the Ely Rotary Club enjoyed a taster session at Ely Bowls Club.

The Bowls Club extended an invitation and members agreed it was  a most enjoyable evening with some success.

Many of the Rotary Club members were beginners. Peter Stonehouse and Jay Barroon and other members of Ely Bowls Club provided some coaching and showed the members how the bowls should be chosen, how to hold them and bowl them to good effect.

At first, the teams bowled towards large plastic targets and eventually moved to using the jacks (small white balls) that are usually the targets.

Ely Bowls Club has 300 members and bowls are played morning, afternoon, and in the evenings, seven days a week, indoors and outdoors.
