Worthing Visually Impaired Bowls Club home is at Worthing Pavilion Bowling Club
Bowls is one of the most popular games for people with sight loss in the UK and Worthing Pavilion Bowling Club welcomes the Worthing Visually Impaired Bowls Club who use their facilities.

The visually impaired can play a very good game of bowls. few adaptations to the rules are necessary, though the method of play varies slightly. Once the visually impaired bowler has learnt the techniques of the game, it is possible to play with minimal assistance from sighted partners and/or opponents. You will notice the string stretched between the centre points of the rink. This gives guidance to the player where the centre of the rink is to place the jack and judge where to stand.

Worthing Visually Impaired Bowls Club are looking for new members. Women are especially welcome as at present they are a little out-numbered by the men!! They meet once a week on a Wednesday morning at Worthing Pavilion Bowling Club premises and play the occasionally ‘friendly’ match during the Summer. Members of the Visually Impaired club recently had the great honour to be invited to play at Beech House Park during the Bowls National Finals
