Isle of Man Open Crown Green Bowling Festival13th - 17th June 2005 & 5th - 9th
September 2005.
The Isle of Man has been a popular destination
for thousands of Crown Green Bowlers from all
over the United Kingdom. The Festival has grown
from strength to strength and is now recognised
as the best Festival in the bowling calendar,
and carries with it the highest prize money of
any Festival.
Short Mat bowls is a scaled down version of the
indoor bowling that is seen on television,
except that we play on portable lightweight
carpets, which are rolled out in seconds and are
easily rolled back up after use. The game is
played like other forms of the sport, with full
sized bowls being used to bowl up and down the
carpet.
