Lawn Bowling Clubs Across Southern California Invite the Public to an Open House and Celebrate Governor Schwarzenegger’s proclamation of “Lawn Bowls Day” May 10th, 2008
You’ll be surprised how lawn bowls has changed and grown. 30 clubs in Southern California are encouraging their neighbors to experience the game of Lawn Bowls and perhaps become new members. Everyone is welcome; all you need to bring are flat-soled shoes and a smile.
Free lessons and a party atmosphere will be offered during the Open Houses, many of which are co-sponsored by the city in which they are located.
The lawn bowling community in Southern California has enjoyed a steady increase in membership and interest over the past few years. It is a sport that everyone can play, is easy to learn, but difficult to master.
The clubs participating in the Open House are all members of the Southwest Division of the United States Lawn Bowling Association. The Southwest Division is the largest and most active in all of the United States. Lawn Bowlers from Southern California are consistently part of Team USA, proudly and successfully representing our country in tournaments around the world.
Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, with the support of all the clubs in the Southwest Division, are hosts to the only International Lawn Bowls Tournament in the US held in October.
Lawn Bowls Day – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will be proclaiming Lawn Bowls Day. We have been informed of the impending proclamation and look forward to the Official day!
