When you first move into a new town you can be a little apprehensive about joining any social or sporting club.
Let’s face it you just don’t know anybody.
Well you need not feel this way as Capel has a beaut Bowls Club that will make you feel welcome.
Not all are old fogies and the ones that are, well they are a delight.
If you have some sporting ability but haven’t a clue about how to play bowls then you needn’t worry. The Capel Bowls Club will get you started.
It’s a game you can both play. Not only that, you get to meet the locals. Some who can tell you more about the locality of Capel than anyone!
and enjoy a fun game of bowls on Friday night starting at 5pm from Friday 30th September 2022 at the Capel Bowls Club, Goodwood Road Capel.
(If you get there a tad later it won’t matter).
Jack is the sometimes elusive yellow ball that we all try and get close to. Jack is the essence of the game of bowls. When you roll your bowl from about 40 metres away Jack is the object you are aiming at. The closer you bowl to Jack the more likely you are to win the game.
No need to worry about bowls we can provide them. You can play barefoot or with flat sole shoes. Just come as you are. If you have children of the age of 10-12 and older then get them involved too. It's a great game for families, mums and dads, grandparents, in fact all ages. If you haven’t played before then don’t worry we can get you started.
It’s fun when you get the hang of it. And if you got a set of bowls that have been sitting gathering dust or you are an experienced bowler passing through then come and join us.
And after an enjoyable time on the greens you can relax with the rest of us and have a drink or just kick back and watch the footy. There’s even prizes you can win.

It gets you out in the open air and it limbers you up. You be surprised at the aerobic subtlety that you get from playing bowls. And it requires a degree of concentration too. So it stimulates the mind as well.
After the game you can relax with neighbourhood bowlers and enjoy the social aspects that comes with an afternoon on the green and then there’s the teas on 1st Friday night of every month that offers good old country cooking at its best. You’ll love it.
The bowling greens at Capel are amongst the best in the South West. Many from elsewhere come to play bowls on our greens. That gives you the opportunity to meet new people from other country towns and centres. If you like the game of bowls you will like them too.
So when you settled into your own home and you want to get a little social the Capel Bowls Club will introduce you to our hospitality and the game of bowls. You’re most welcome! So call one of the numbers listed when you’re ready.
