EQUIPMENT REQUIRMENTS

To avoid potential damage to lawn bowls greens, whether grass or synthetic, wheelchair users should endeavour to show due care and consideration to ensure marks left on the green are negligible or, at worst, can be removed by a greens roller. The following guidelines should be observed:

  • Where possible, take a wide circle when turning on the green.
  • Large, usually rear, tyres (preferably pneumatic) with a minimum of two x 620 x 45mm is required. The most suitable tread patterns are slicks or inverted tread tyres (eg. a standard BMX tyre).
  • The most suitable tyres for the small or front wheels are 200mm x 50mm with a pneumatic tyre.
  • Castors, made of nylon or polyurethane are becoming increasingly popular. The width of these should be a minimum of 75mm. If the edges are sharp they must be rounded off.

ELIGIBILITY

Open to all people with a physical disability who:

  • Are financial members of Wheelchair Sports NSW or equivalent organisation.
  • Are financial members of clubs affiliated to Bowls NSW
