Whilst out-door bowling suffers the English winter - like the rest of us, many club members continue to bowl indoors. For those trying indoors bowling for the first time, it is diifferent - much warmer to start with - but it does give a flavour of the game for those wishing to try it.

Indoor-bowling takes place at 'The Parks' North Shields (information on the internet) and on a Monday and Tuesday evenings bowliers from Collingwood can be found there. Come and have a go.
