WELCOMING DISABLED BOWLERS
Our Club welcome disabled bowlers to play on our greens, either as members of teams, or in specially arranged matches. In our Club we have both blind and deaf Members, two of whom play for England.. Photos show Lis Davies with her specially adapted wheel-chair, and a special blind-players challenge match with Bridgwater Blind Group.

As well as allowing disabled bowlers to play, seated in a wheelchair, the photos show that a chair can also be used as a seat, when the bowler can play from the standing position.
