Marketing
your club in 2009
California Lawn Bowls Day a big success
The SW and PIMD Divisions joined forces this year to make a statewide effort all on one single day of recruiting. It is estimated that as many as 300+ (in SW) and 100+ (in PIMD) new members will result from this one single effort.
PIMD were a bit late on getting going, but it still worked wonders for most of their clubs. Now is the time for all regions to start thinking how they will push together next year (or even late this year if that is when your season starts).
Recruiting is fast becoming the major imperative for most regions to stem the dramatic fall off in memberships we have been seeing these past few years. Let's keep lawn bowls alive and competitive... and not just for the same old handful of tournament players.

The
sport for active adults of all ages
Down
under in Australia and New Zealand, lawn bowls is simply
called bowls, and is played by many folks of all ages, both
indoors and outdoors.
But
in what other sport can a 75 year old beat a 25 year old?
Can women consistently play with men? Are mixed teams the
norm? Have an active social side? Require little or no practice?
P.S.
Probably the most inexpensive sport in the country!
