There are only a few juniors but we encourage all youngsters to have a go. Age is no barrier and providing they can hold the smallest bowl we welcome them.

We meet on a Saturday morning at 10am at the clubhouse and have a game and maybe some practice. We have qualified, adult instructors and also a strong child protection scheme in force

We have regular events at the club during the summer and special Saturday get-togethers during the winter too. Our resident Chefs  provide us with fantastic meals at silly prices (usually less than £2.00)

Our Friday evening roll-up starts at 6pm and gets almost all members out on the green to play before going back into the club house for a welcome drink from the bar and the meal. Bar prices are better than the pub with a typical pint of beer at £2.00 a pint

And a semi organise roll-up every Tuesday & Wednesday !

The game of Bowls is quite easy to master. At Cheriton we are lucky in that two members are Senior Coaches, Maurice Worsley and Dick Pascoe.

We have in recent times taught a registered blind person to bowl,  someone who had suffered a stroke and also a person in a wheelchair. If we can manage to get these to successfully take up the game we can help you.

As mentioned the game is simple, you stand on a mat, throw a white ball called a jack down the grass and than try to get a much larger bowl to stop as close to it as possible.

Then things go wrong because all sorts of rules are brought into play.

It usually takes three or four sessions of a couple of hours to get 'Joe or Joan Average' bowling to an acceptable level. We have to be careful as the grass is easily damaged by incorrectly delivered bowls.

For those that have been bowling for some time we offer advanced coaching. Tennis players, golfers and football players all have coaches to help them on a regular basis. Most bowlers think that having learnt the game makes them experts.

Coaching is a skill learnt over several years. It covers all aspects of the game from the actual delivery of the bowl to the skill of reading a head. We use modern technology including Video Cameras to get you bowling correctly and to use your skill to best advantage.

If you would like to learn the game or take advantage of advanced coaching contact our Club Coach Maurice Worsley on Folkestone 277241 or Dick Pascoe on 894390.
