THE GAME OF CARPET BOWLS

Comments collated by Lesley Dickinson

The game of Carpet Bowls is really just a 'parlour game'. It is played in the house on the carpet and can be good fun, but the tiny bowls are only some 63mm or 2½ inches in diameter and take some controlling if you are a 'proper' bowler. Basically the game is similar to flat green bowls in miniature.

The bowls can be purchased as a set of eight with jack at about £35 in the UK
