Club Rules

Here are the rules that Preston Bowls Club adheres to as set in 2010.

1. The name of the Club is “PRESTON BOWLS CLUB (BRIGHTON) LIMITED”. The objects are to maintain a Club for the accommodation of members, and to provide all the usual necessary privileges, advantages, conveniences and accommodation of a Club and otherwise as specified in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

2. The Club shall consist of Shareholders and Associate Members.

Different manufacturers produce bowls with different biases.

Please use this chart to help you decide which bowls to buy.

Remember larger bias bowls are a disadvantage if you're playing indoors.

The first thing to know is that the object is to deliver a bowl as close to the jack (the small yellow/white ball) as possible.  You need to know that all bowls have a bias, that is, they “bend” during flight, and that is where the skill comes in.

The Preston Club Ltd was formed in 1908. It has facilities for indoor bowls, outdoor bowls, and snooker. Members can play against each other and against other clubs in well organised leagues.  The club also offers friendly events for players of any ability.

Even a small increase in light activity, such as washing dishes, gardening, or simply walking around the house, might help stave off an early death among older adults, researchers say.

Being sedentary, for instance, by sitting for long periods of time, has been linked to an increased risk of developing many conditions, including heart disease, as well as an early death.
