Looks like a really big difference in the size of carpet bowls if you see a jack beside them, bet it is equally as skillful to play with these as normal sized woods :rolleyes:

Hi http://www.julianhainesbowls.co.uk/forum/images/avatars/7963.gifHave played short mat and I know there is always a piece of wood in the middle have whacked it often enough,
Not sure if this is a white circle which you might have to go round could be some sort of rule
Cant quite see what it is from the picture:rolleyes:

[Blondie]

Hi I havent seen anything like this on a short mat bowls think its some sort of mark that you would have to go round,
Know when playing carpet bowls you dont throw the jack its got to be placed:D

[Surfer]

Still haven't decided if I should stand in and play Carpet Bowls as well as Indoors
Am getting a lot of pressure because the team is very short of players
At the moment my game indoors is pretty good am worried if playing carpet bowls will mess my weight up Surfer:cool:

[pops]

I would stick to one thing Surfer, might spoil you game indoors :rolleyes:

[Surfer]

Yes sure your right pops think Ive made up my mind, hate letting people down when they are short of players
Getting a bit of emotional blackmail, have been having a think
Could want me because they need a driver to pick up certain people
Know its nasty to think this But ??? Surfer:cool:

Had half an hour spare and took these pics of some short mat Bowlers

Thought this was a great idea they had a plastic cup on the piece of

wood in the middle of the mat

Every time they accidentally hit it they had to put ten pence in

What a good way to make the game more fun and raise a bit of cash

Someone had a very good idea:D:D

for a good cause be surprised how much they have raised

[peter]

love the Pictures Snapper by the look on this Bowlers face you would think he was in a World Bowls comp

Great Idea with the container on the piece of wood

Brilliant way to get some funds for charity never miss ten pence now and then :grin:

[Blondie]

Love the idea for raising cash for good causes, shall have a word with our Lady Captain and see what she thinks
The way some of our Bowlers play it would raise a lot of cash:D

[Sam]

Make a fortune in out Club their rubbish bowlers:D

[Surfer]

Need a new Club House could do with some ideas on how to raise a bit of cash
Need a big bucket in the middle of our indoor mat only a drop in the ocean
Surfer:cool:

[Blondie]

Tried a lot of ways of raising funds over the years

All right if its only small amounts but getting a new club house

Needs some serious cash need your committee to look in getting some grants

[mary]

cant get any enthusiasm for playing short mat this year, finding it very boring need something with more of a competitive edge its like watching paint dry Sorry having a moan:(

[kiwi bowler]

A few bowlers I know play bridge, which they say keeps their mind very active? But I myself prefer Five hundred:grin:

[Sam]

Hi Kiwi Bowler is five hundred a card game, play all the time great way to spend a Saturday few friends over glass of something and some cards.:D

[Jean]

Love the idea for raising funds for Charity have been looking around the site and the pictures are very good, not a lover of carpet bowls would love to play indoor Bowls but it too far to travel for me and the dark nights don't help:(

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Kiwi Bowler is five hundred a card game, play all the time great way to spend a Saturday few friends over glass of something and some cards.:D
Yes Sam, Five Hundred is a card game, similar to bridge but different:grin:

[snapper]

Havent heard of this game five hundered, we got some friends who have a son in law from Gambia and they have been teaching us a game called screa, really funny when you get a winning hand you have to signal your partner,everyone is sitting watching every move, and you partner has to shout screa, nearly caused a riot last time we played:lol:

[Smiler]

Might take up cards as a hobby might be better at it than I am at Bowling:rolleyes:
