Carpet Bowling Club
We are very excited to be offering a new
sport that will run from the fall to the end of spring. The NWCC Carpet Bowling
Club will run every Thursday until May 28, 2020 from 10:00 - 12:00 noon.
This sport is for ages 50+. Carpet Bowling offers great social and
physical activity.The sport has been a
popular past-time for more than 100 years across the globe. Carpet Bowling involves playing on carpets that are 30 feet long and six feet wide and is a variation of lawn
bowling. The
sport is low impact and can even be performed if you need to stay sitting. The
most important part is being able to bend and throw the ball.
To become part of this sport a North Woodside Community Centre membership must be purchased for $5.00 for the year and each Thursday, players
pay a $2 drop in fee that helps pay for the carpets and the space.
Long-time member of the
Sackville team, Kenneth Isles, now lives in Dartmouth and will be facilitating
this sport.

luncheon will be held for all players. To purchase your membership and to sign up you can call or drop into the
