Invitation to wheelchair bowls

Wheelchair bowler Scott Carlyle from Everglades Bowling Club has issued an invitation to other wheelchair-bound people to play the game.

The 28-year-old bowler is originally from Strathfield but moved to St Huberts Island two years ago.

He has been playing bowls at Everglades for the past six months and said his ambition was to compete in the 2014 Handicapped Bowling Tournament.

"I would love to have other wheelchairs come out and join me on the green," Carlyle said.

Everglades Bowling Club has a wheelchair fitted with wide wheels that can be used to go out on to the bowling greens.

Any wheelchair dependent people interested in trying a free introduction to lawn bowls lesson should contact Mr Carlyle's bowls coach Daryl Clifford on men's bowling days at Everglades Bowling Club or phone the club on 4341 1089.
