Membership
fees vary from club to club depending if they are a multi sport
club, which in that case you pay a subscription to the overall
club and then pay a fee to play in a particular section of that
club. Most clubs charge a nominal subscription for junior
players – under 18 or in some cases under 25. Some clubs charge
a reduced subscription in the first year, as newcomers have to
buy equipment.

Equipment: -
The first essential is a pair of flat shoes (no heels). It is
advisable not to buy a set of bowls until you have had some
coaching and can get a feel of the right size of bowls. All
clubs always have some spare sets for newcomers to try out. A
second hand set of bowls can cost anything from €50 up to €80 –
a new set costs from €120 to €180. The one thing about a set of
bowls is that once you have decided on the right size and have
purchased a set, they will last you a lifetime.

Once you
start to play in league matches, you will need to purchase a set
of white trousers. Some clubs play in club coloured shirts and
others play in white shirts.
