Something a bit different

[gascan36]

hi folks, first post. i was lokking for new bowls but hoping to get something a bit different in the way of coulor but not like the ordinary self couloured like green red etc but completely different. anyone know where "special" coulored bowls can be had/ specially made? thanks 8-)

Hi Gascan 36,

Bought at a great discount price a white set of Taylor Aces in WHITE, they really really stood out, although after a few ends the color did not make a lot of difference to me it was back to line & length.
My trouble was that I play a lot of single tournaments and found the swing on the Taylor Aces put me at a bit of a disadvantage so back to my old boring straighter set!!!

See a lot of spectacled bowls around of many colorers not sure about having a set specifically made?:)

Do let me know what you decide etc!!

[gascan36]

thanks for that . have seen these but was looking for something a bit more like this

Evening Gascan

Been bowling a long time and have never seen anything like the Bowls Pictured,
They would certainly stand out but its how they bowl that matters, think someone said on the forum a while back they would be bringing striped bowls out next to get us to part with our cash,
They mightn't be far off the mark.


This is from a very old Bowler who is still surprised at white bowls.

Well Gascab36 what can you say think Bowling has finally been liberated and not before time,Love the Bowls would like a set like those, as long as they didn't take too wide a swing,
Its about time we had some Color into the game and do away with the some of the ridiculous rules on dress code, epically among the Ladies

Hi All Colorful Bowlers,

Also love the colours!!!! Don't know the make of 'Stevens' in Lawn bowls, the bowl is completely different in running as the green has the crown in Crown Green whilst the wood has the bias in lawn bowls, sounds about right.

I'm sure if these coulors were available in lawn bowls they wood be a hit, not sure what the traditionalist would say????:)

Frankie:)

[Surfer]

Yellow and Black that the Color of the Proper Cornish Tartan looks real smart,
We are very proud to be Cornish,would love a set of Yellow and Black Bowls don't know how they would manage it.

Have been asked to put this pic on hope I got the right place, anyway the coach driver who took the Lady's up in the Johns promised every game if they won he would wear the Cornish Tartan, well folks heres a few pic this is what a proper Cornish Man looks like,

[Angel]

Wow Love the Kilt could drive our Coach anytime, why is it we never get coach drivers who look like that, ours are always old and overweight????




Not Fair:(:(

[wrong bias]

see it didnt stop the ladies from tucking into their sandwiches and tea.:roll:if it were my club the kilt would have been lifted over his head,just to refresh their memories,,,:p well kitted out though,very smart8-)

Hi All,
And I thought it was a Lady reserve Bowler!! Only joking! must be my eye sight!!

Must be a very brave Coach Driver

[snapper]

Getting Old Del Boy that your problem need to go to spec save, thought that was very good epically for me at this time of the morning,
Wouldn't mind if we could wear Cornish Tartan in some way with the Bowls uniform, make a lovely blazer,

Snapper from Cornwall:D

Morning All you Bowlers Lovely day,

[peter]

Not sure what the Women in Cornwall would need to put them off the sandwiches and cakes,
Be a bit hard to ignore a chap in full Cornish Kilt showing most of his leg when you are having a Coffee?

Hi Everyone,

Great photos look as if everyone was having a bit of fun.

At times bowling lacks the fun element with everyone so busy and having to win everything!!!

Still of to find a kilt down the charity shop, wife thinks me legs wont look as good!!!!

[Angel]

Hi Bargain Hunt

Would take the Wifes advice about wearing a kilt, had the odd quick look in the mens changing rooms because they never close the door, not a pretty site, never seen such an odd assortment of white legs, would put anyone off their game,

Angel:p;)

[Bargain Hunt]

Hi Angel,

Thanks for that, not sure if this is doing my ego much good!!!!

Still a bit of fun before the indoor starts, funny how bowling takes all your time, just about caught up on the summer jobs!!!

Lookig forward to a rest indoors!!!!:D (& my Kilt)
