Dunster short mat bowls club meets on a Monday evening from 7.30 to 9.00 in the main hall of the Tithe Barn.

We are a small friendly group of people anxious to increase our numbers as we have enough space and equipment to use two mats.

Short mat bowls is played with four bowls per player, and the game can be played individually or in teams. The rules of short mat bowls vary slightly depending on the governing body, but generally follow the same principles as outdoor lawn bowls.

The bowls group was one of the first to use the barn following its renovation in 2006. Despite being small in number, the club continues to enjoy meeting and playing short mat bowls.

To find out if you would enjoy an evening of bowling why not come along for a free taster session on Monday? Contact 01643 821246 for further details.
