​

Short Mat, is a social evening played on Thursday evenings during the winter months from October until April.

​

It involves 10 teams of 5 people (from which 4 play each week) playing at all levels of ability, who have a lot of fun. The mat is laid in the early afternoon giving everyone the opportunity to practice should they wish.  

During the evening the bar is open if you fancy a tipple with your team mates or a chat with friends. 

 

All are welcome, if you don't want to bowl, come and socialize with members over the cold winter months. It is worth getting out of the armchair for!
