Whiting Bay Bowling Club will be hosting its own mini Commonwealth Games next month in an effort at promoting the sport on Arran.
The inspiration for the event came from pupils from Whiting Bay Primary School who visited the facility recently.
As the Commonwealth Games is being held in Glasgow, Whiting Bay Primary pupils had been looking at the different sports played and they learned that bowls had been played at every games except one (1966) since starting in 1930.
The bowling club invited the school to visit and try their facilities. Each class visited and club members were on hand to guide them when needed. P1, P2 and P3 classed visited in the afternoon and different activities suited to each age group were made available for the young pupils. The day was enjoyed by the children who were very enthusiastic about the sport.
In light of the children’s enthusiasm, the bowling club committee decided to host a family-friendly mini Commonwealth Games on Sunday July 26.
Whiting Bay Bowling Club is open every day of the week and members meet on Thursdays and Saturdays at 2pm. Further information about the club, and updates on the mini Commonwealth Games, can be found on the website at whitingbaybowlingclub.co.uk/
