John wants everyone to know that West Berks Indoor Bowls Club in Newbury stands as one of the premier indoor bowls clubs in Berkshire. The club is purpose-built with six top-notch, air-conditioned rinks, providing a comfortable and pleasurable experience for its members. There's also a lounge/bar and restaurant on site, offering a great place to relax and socialise after a game.
Membership is open to everyone, and John and the team are always excited to welcome new members. They encourage individuals of all ages, abilities, and experience levels to dive into the sport of indoor bowls. To help newcomers get a feel for the game, they offer a free 'taster' session to first-time visitors.
Recently, John organised a successful Open Day, inviting the community to try indoor bowling. The event saw a flurry of new members, which speaks to its growing popularity. To support the new interest, the club will be starting a Beginners Coaching course for newcomers.
Existing members speak highly of the club's friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Bill and Belinda, a couple from the club, praised the patience of the coaches and the inclusive nature of the club, especially for those with disabilities. Another couple, Jenny and Baden, have spoken warmly about the excellent facilities and the diverse range of skills within the club.
Beyond the fun and social aspects, indoor bowls has proven health benefits. It improves overall health, strengthens the immune system, and offers good anaerobic exercise for muscles and joints. Players are often bending, walking, and swinging their arms during the game, making it a great physical activity. There's also a mental aspect as players strategise to outwit their opponents.
West Berks Indoor Bowls Club also hosts various events throughout the year. One such event is the annual Christmas Fayre, which is open to everyone in the community. With free admission and ample parking, it's set to be a fun day out with a wide selection of Christmas gifts on offer.
With its fantastic facilities and welcoming environment, John believes West Berks Indoor Bowls Club is the perfect place for anyone interested in indoor bowls.
