Taking place over the Spring Bank Holiday of the
2021 season (Friday 28th to Monday 31st May), Bowls’ Big Weekend is a
national initiative offering clubs the opportunity to promote our welcoming and
socially-distanced sport and attract new members. We know that 20% of new
bowlers join our sport on the back of open weekends, that our clubs want support
to help recruit new players and that there are plenty of people out there who
would love to have a go at bowls.
Bowls' Big Weekend is open to clubs affiliated to
Bowls England and British Crown Green Bowling Association, and is being run
alongside the Bowls Development Alliance and Disability Bowls England. It
takes place over the four-day period allowing clubs to organise activity that
best fits within their club’s calendar and complies with Return to Play
guidance.
Affiliated clubs who sign up will be able to access
FREE resources, including bowls-specific workshops to help run a great event
and grow your club. In addition, publicity material and creative
resources for social media channels, websites and within your local community
will be made available. It will be supported by a national marketing
campaign to help raise awareness of the events across the country, and some
clubs will get a visit from an England Commonwealth Games Squad bowler.
