We had some great feedback from the school after our coaching sessions during the summer, see below;

I enjoyed this type of bowling as much as ten pin bowling, I learnt how to roll the ball perfectly close to the jack. I thank all the bowling staff for helping us to bowl.
I hope some day I will come again. I thank you very much for the hard work you have done and we are also glad that we had good bowling teachers that taught us how to bowl.

I really enjoyed my time at the bowling club every Friday. Before the sessions I thought grass bowling was a boring elderly persons sport but my opinion really changed after the 6 week course. Many people make stereotypes about grass bowls (including myself) but they should try the sport themselves before they make generalisations.

My favourite activity was when all the games were out and we had 10 minutes at each one. My favourite game was when the jack was in the ditch and we had to get as close as possible without it going in the ditch. I also enjoyed trying to get the bowl to the middle of the target. The most points I got was 25.

I especially liked playing with the jack and when we got to watch the professionals play. Everyone who taught us was extremely kind ... I enjoyed every minute of it. I would love to go back again.

I liked trying to get the bowls onto the target. I missed most of the time but towards the end of the sessions I got a bit better. At one point I managed to get a bowl right in the middle of the target but then my friend Iman knocked it off. I was kinda annoyed, but I got over it.

The members of the Club were very helpful and told us exactly what to do. I also like the hat I got on the last day.
I enjoyed playing the targets because it was less difficult. I also enjoyed when we had to get the bowl as close as possible to the bank without going in. I also learned techniques such as how to hold the bowl properly and to stand facing a bit to the left or right. I would like to come back through the summer holidays.

I learned that bowling is not just for old people, at first I thought it was but then I saw you (Gavin) playing the Irish Champion and realised it wasn't. I thought you were going to beat him but he had the luck of the Irish.

I loved the bowling greens but I loved the people there even more. I loved the houses surrounding the the bowling green. All of you have taught us well.
Although I had never done it before you all welcomed us. I have definitely improved during the last couple of weeks. I will probably come by again and say Hello. I will definitely consider joining the Club because it is awesome.

I was really excited to be going bowling because I live near it. I can tell the grass is regularly cut. Its really well kept and looks beautiful. I really enjoyed the final week when Gavin played Jonathan. It was really exciting. I also enjoyed having the hats handed out, I wear mine a lot.

I didn't think it would be any fun until we started playing. I wish we could come back just for a while longer. .......... In conclusion we had a lot of fun and would like to thank Gordon, Bob, Gavin, Stephen and many more. I may think of coming back to play.

At first I thought it was for older people but as I got the hang of it I thought it was great................
I would like to thank you for this fantastic experience. I had been ill for the last week and that is why I could not meet the famous bowling champions. Thanks again for teaching us how to do bowling.

The most important thing I learned was how to hold and deliver the bowl.
I thought I would hate it but I really liked it.
The thing I enjoyed most was the exhibition with Gavin and Jonathan.

The Certificate that was handed out is on the side of my wall and I am very grateful for it.

I enjoyed bowling because it got me out of school. It taught me new things and the best thing about it was the people. They were very kind and enthusiastic and they were quite good themselves.

There was only one thing I didn't like - leaving!
