GROWING THE GAME INDOORS
Indoor bowls is where the future of lawn bowls lies. Climate change and environmental issues are quickly taking the fun out of it. With that in mind, and encouraged by our success with the MLS Sportsplex indoor project in Scarborough, we are now seriously promoting accelerated development of indoor bowls centres across the country and the introduction of Short Mat bowls in high schools
To facilitate this objective, we are now proposing complete turnkey projects where pre-engineered buildings designed specifically for lawn bowling and sometimes soccer, can be erected in a very cost effective manner. The buildings are designed to accommodate 2, 4 and 6 rinks, 18 and 28ft ceilings, with sufficient space for all the necessary amenities. In the meantime ask for details and a quote

Indoor play demand - accelerating fast
Carpet Bowls Demand to play bowls indoors on shorter carpets is also increasing at an accelerated pace. The ever aging population has made Carpet Bowling much in demand in most recreation centres, because of the use of smaller, lighter, bowls and the 30-foot length of the playing surface. Now Residences for seniors have also discovered the joys of Carpet Bowls.
The Game: Bowls are delivered from an 18 inch wide space at the front of the carpet and must avoid an 18 inch circular block placed in the centre of the carpet. The Jack is 2.5 inches in diameter (the same as for Lawn/Indoor Bowls) and is placed on a centre line 3 - 6 feet from the end of the carpet. It does not need to be extra-heavy because, in another departure from the other lawn variants, the bowls used are smaller. Players rarely own their own set of bowls; instead the centres usually owns the bowls for their club members' use. |

| Short Mat Bowls | ||
|
However,
the biggest increased demand for indoor play comes from the
popularity of the Short Mat game. Played with normal lawn
bowls on a 45’ by 6’ carpet, Short Mat has attained a very high
level of popularity. Big money tournaments are springing
up wherever the game is played. Because the Short Mat game
is portable, as mats are easy to move about and roll out, clubs
can emerge in school gyms, convention centres, hotel ballrooms,
banquet halls, and, even on factory floors or office building
lobbies.
