Residents over 55 are being encouraged to try green bowling in Holbeach this summer as part of a free community event aimed at promoting health and social connection.
The session takes place on Monday 4 August at 6pm at Carter’s Park Bowls Club on Park Lane. It forms part of the First Time for Everything programme, an initiative led by the Royal Voluntary Service to give people opportunities to try new activities, meet others and keep active.
Supported by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, the session includes light refreshments and is open to complete beginners. Places can be booked in advance, but walk-ins will be welcome on the evening. Those who prefer not to play can still join in for a chat over a cup of tea.
For anyone unable to attend in person, the Royal Voluntary Service runs a Virtual Village Hall, offering free daily online classes ranging from exercise and dance to cooking, crafts and creative writing. More than 2,500 recorded sessions are available on YouTube.
