Busselton Try Out Day - Vision Impaired & Blind Bowls
Sunday 7th June 2026 - Friday 12th June 2026
Lawn Bowls is a great inclusive sport for all, young and old, able or disabled, blind and vision impaired. B&VI bowlers use the same equipment, bowling on the same greens at the same time as sighted bowlers, in fact B&VI bowlers often compete with and beat sighted bowlers. B&VI bowlers only need support in the form of a pair of eyes, they are provided by a volunteer director who becomes their partner.
On the 7th of June we are holding an introductory session for carers and those interested in volunteering to direct a B&VI bowler. The session starts at 12:30 and runs until 4:30 and will focus on understanding the role of a director and how to support a B&VI bowler while they are on the green.
On the 12th of June from 12:30 we invite any and all interested parties be they Blind or Vision Impaired or even the sighted to come along and have a go at lawn bowls, coaching and assistance will be provided as will an afternoon tea.
Any and all are welcome. RSVP to blindbowlswa@gmail.com by 30 May 2026.
