The Bowls Development Alliance in partnership with the EIBA will be running roadshows throughout England in early 2026

Working alongside the EIBA and other National Governing Body partners, the roadshows aim to provide the tools, knowledge and support needed to help clubs grow, recruit new members, strengthen governance and build stronger links with their communities.

All roadshows are free to attend and open to every bowls club in England. Spaces are limited to two people per club. Click here to access the webpage for additional details.

What to Expect

Across the roadshows, clubs will be able to take part in focused workshops that explore practical ways to strengthen their offer, improve operations and engage their communities.

Sessions will vary by venue, with most roadshows offering two workshops and some providing additional options.

The themed workshops will cover:

 - Recruitment and retention, including Bowls Bash, community engagement and school involvement

 - Coaching and player development, led by Coach Bowls, with guidance on structures and pathways

 - Governance and club operations, focusing on volunteers, committees and financial sustainability

 - Community connection, including consultation, inclusion and creating a welcoming club environment

 - Greens maintenance, with drop in support from industry specialists throughout the day
