Please ring 01799 525959 and leave a message to pre-book your place on each of these DRIVE sessions.

Your safety is our primary concern. In line with Government advice, we have maximised ventilation and maintained social distancing, without having to wear a face covering whilst bowling and still enabling everyone to enjoy social bowling and safely meet up with friends.
