Those taking advantage of this privilege to date have been very few.
For any not familiar with lawnbowling, it is completely differrent from conventional
bowling...the object is not to knock pins down but to make your ball come
closer to a target white ball than anyone else's ball. The bowling balls
are symmetrically round, but they are unbalanced by internal offside weight.
When thrown you have to judge both at what speed to throw to reach the target,
and, because the balls will curve due to the imbalance, how far to left or
right of target to throw to have the ball curve in to very close to target.
It's skill, not force, that you have to use.
- The dinner-harbour cruise occurs on July 16
