SUMMARY:Dawlish Warren: Autumn 2025
DESCRIPTION:Our air-conditioned Washington Ballroom is an excellent venue for Short mat bowls. With space for up to 5 mats\, you can play whatever the weather! The game is played like other forms of the sport\, with full-sized bowls being used to bowl up and down the carpet. In just a few short years\, the sport has grown in popularity to over 100\,000 players\, and this popularity shows no signs of slowing down; many other parts of the world are taking up the sport and having fun! \nMen and women compete equally together\, so techniques are truly tested. A great family sport\, the ages of players range from 9 to over 90 (that we are aware of anyway!). \nThe Short Mat Bowls holidays held at Langstone Cliff are organised by Bob Weafer at www.short-mat-holidays.com.
