First-Time Bowlers

Come Out and Try Lawn Bowling!

• First time bowlers need to call the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club (1.250-549-4100), become a member and register for 2 on the green lessons.  Once you have completed the two lessons you're ready to join in the fun!  We know you'll have a great time!

• The Vernon Lawn Bowling Club encourages individuals of all ages and ability to come out and try the sport! All you need to begin is a flat-soled pair of shoes in order to protect our greens.

• For more detailed  information see the Membership and Fees page and for rental information, click here. 

• We will have FREE "Try It" Days in late April, early May where you can test lawn bowls out. Flat soled shoes are required to protect the green.
