Dress

The minimum requirement for anyone to take up the game is a pair of bowling shoes (not trainers), a set of woods and appropriate clothing.

With regard to the later the clubs requirement is basically White above the waist and Grey below the waste - no jeans and tops must have a collar.

Bowls shoes are specific to the sport and have absolutely flat soles with no grips/ markings on them - this is to ensure the playing surfaces (Indoor and Outdoor) are protected. Shoes are available in White, Brown and Grey - the club can advise which is most suitable.

Dress Code

The Atherley's dress code comes in two parts and is the same for Indoor and Outdoor bowling:

• For day to day games/ leagues etc the dress code is White above the waist and Grey below. Shoes may be White, Brown or Grey.
• For friendly games against other clubs we play in all white
• In addition for people who play representative games for the club there is a club shirt that is mainly white with Red and Green trims.
• It can be seem therefore that the dress required for normal play is simple to achieve and can normally be purchased from any shop. The only stipulation is that any shirt/ blouse must have a collar.
• For the ladies the skirt must be below the knee and be double pleated.
