- It is played by two teams at a time, with four members in each team.
- Each player has two bowls, with which to get their bowl as close as possible to a pre-positioned jack ball, at the other end of the carpet.
- The bowls must be played to avoid a block placed in the centre of the carpet.
- The skill is to get the bowl to run a curved path, avoiding the block and coming to rest next to the jack.
- The team whose bowls are nearest to the jack score a point for each bowl.
- 21 ends are played during a session and the team with the most points wins.
- The club uses the English Carpet Bowls Association Rules.
- The Club is run by a committee for the 80 or so members.
