Background to Barefoot Bowling at Parramatta RSL
Nestled in the Heart of Parramatta, Parramatta RSL recent renovations have opened and a whole new world of dining, entertainment and corporate innovation to Parramatta. And now Parramatta RSL has launched Barefoot Bowling.
Barefoot Bowling is enjoyable, affordable and accessible to and there is no better place to have a Barefoot Bowling social or corporate function than at Parramatta RSL.
So why not get your feet on the grass and have some fun with Barefoot Bowls. It’s lawn bowls gone casual and a fantastic social event.
Our friendly team at Parramatta RSL will also teach you how to bowl as part of your overall bowling experience.
Here are some quick tips for beginner bowlers:
- The larger black ball is called a bowl. The small white ball is the jack. They are usually supplied by Parramatta RSL Club for your booking
- The aim of the game is to get your bowl as close to the jack as possible.
- Bowls are weighted so that they don’t roll in a straight line, but in a curve.
- Each bowl has a small and large icon on each side. Always keep the small icon on the inside of your delivery.
- You will play on a green (of very short grass) which is divided into rinks. There is a ditch on the outside of the green to catch badly delivered bowls.
- You bowl from alternate ends, usually standing on a mat, which is supplied.
So round up your colleagues and come and support Kids West !.
