History
Our sport has been an active part of Osoyoos for 75, and larger Canadian cities, for over well over 100 years. Its longevity is that it not only offers a personal challenge, but is an affordable, social, and an easy to learn activity. However in North America, it lacks televised exposure and large audiences.
Around the world; and for many centuries, the game bowls is an institution.
Historical amusing fact: as a lawn bowler, King Henry VIII was dissatisfied as his bowyers, fletchers, stringers, and arrowhead makers, spent more time playing the game than practicing their trade. So anyone wishing to keep a Green had to pay a £100 fee, and the King forbade any bowle play outside a designated area. Then in 1617, King James I issued a publication called The Book of Sports, and although condemning football (soccer) and golf, bowls. It took a few hundred years for the ban to eventually be lifted and allowed to play bowls and other games of skill.
