Paddo Bowls - Bowls Without the Olds

 

Last weekend I spotted an advertisement for Paddo Bowls. After Googling Paddo Bowls I found their site and found it interesting in that it appears the club has the so called Barefoot Bowls only for the younger crowd.

There may be a few good ideas for our local clubs who have now expanded their bowls program from the traditional structured bowls. Click here to view their site.

Thank goodness us "Olds" are still welcome locally.
