Outstanding service!

Hello,
I would like to leave feedback. I ordered my Almark bowls in the early hours of Sunday and within three hours they were at my door – fantastic!
The chap who delivered them that morning pointed to my doorstep as he stood back and said “there’s your bowls”.
I was so shocked I was dumbfounded, then remembered myself and said “but I only ordered these this morning” he said “yeh I know, we have to compete with Amazon”.
So, what I want to say is - the bowls are just what I wanted and in the condition you advertised, and the service is outstanding – well done Bush Hill Bowls (who needs Amazon?).
From a very happy customer

Why are Park Bowls Clubs closing?

Only this week I had the painful task of ‘rescuing’ bowls equipment from a park bowls club. It was a true rescue, because 24 hours later the club secretary handed the gate keys back to the council.

What’s love got to do with it?

Do you remember that particular game when your opponent’s bowls performance seemed to be intolerably good? You felt somehow inferior … or intimidated .. or some other emotion, from the very first moment they stood on the mat to bowl the first trial end.

Size 000 and 0000 bowls are now legal

  Smaller is harder to hit Some people say that playing with a smaller bowl puts you at a disadvantage because it moves further when struck. I’ve had bowlers, especially men, come into our shop and insist on a size 4 or 5 because, not to put to fine a point on it, bowling with […]

It’s a glove, Jim, but….

Ever keen to see innovation in the sport your correspondent struck gold in the first week of the new outdoor season. It is wet, of course, and the green is wet. Holding onto a slippery wet bowl is never easy. Choosing a grip-enhancing product is on many bowlers minds at this time of year. Sales […]
