There is also Short Mat Bowls ran by Age UK at the Earl Shilton Senior Citizens Centre.

Short mat bowls is an indoor sport in which players attempt to score points by rolling a heavy ball along a fairly flat surface, to gain as many shots as possible by getting their bowls nearer to the jack than their opponents, and so outscore them. The game is a modern variation on lawn bowls, from which it is derived.

Where: Earl Shilton Senior Citizens Centre, Kings Walk, Earl Shilton, Leicester, LE9 7NL

When: Fridays from 2pm-4pm

Membership is required for this activity.
