The new campaign to get more people of all ages playing bowls – ‘Roll up Shropshire’ – is gathering pace.
Just a week after launching the initiative, County Development Officer Pauline Wilson is pleased by the interest from Shropshire affiliated clubs.
“There’s been a strong start for ‘Roll Up Shropshire’ since the launch and we have 11 clubs already signed up,” said Pauline.
Four of them are member clubs of the League – Bridgnorth, Edgmond, Hadley USC and Newport.
“But there’s still plenty of time for other clubs to come on board,” she stressed.
“Clubs signed up are doing anything from one to four taster and coaching sessions.”
The county’s 50-strong army of qualified coaches will be available to run the sessions which will be advertised locally and more widely once clubs confirm their dates with Wilson– by email to [email protected] or by calling 07746-224824.
“So what is your club doing to get new members? Join us in ‘Roll Up Shropshire’ and get recruiting!” added Pauline.
“Let’s all get behind this initiative and see if we can get new bowlers started as soon as possible in the season.”
