Seven local bowling clubs formed a new partnership in March 2012 with the aim of developing the sport of lawn bowling and increasing membership of clubs throughout Clackmannanshire.
Alloa East End Bowling Club have been developing a disability section and have about 40 members and 21 bowls coaches.
In setting up the Clackmannanshire Bowls Forum, the clubs were joined by Bowls Scotland in submitting an application for funding to support a four year plan to introduce bowling to pupils in P5 in all Clackmannanshire primary schools, a festival, coach education and afterschool clubs.
Scottish Disability Sport have also agreed to deliver their disability bowls training.
Clackmannanshire Sports Council, in conjunction with the Round Table have provided the funding for the Bowls Forum.
Clackmannanshire Bowls Forum are looking for more clubs to join. If interested in joining the partnership, please contact us using the details below.
