I think you'll find that Crown Green Bowls is a North of England sport. Down here, we play a related game on a flat green. Except in Lewes, where they play with flattened bowls, called cheeses, on a very lumpy green.It's called Crown Green Bowls down here and the surface is generally in good nick so no need for the sweeping

There's very few, if any crown green bowls clubs in the south, it's much more a northern sport.
Never knew that. Always associated bowls with places like Eastbourne and Worthing. There's an indoor centre by the Shell garage by Preston Park I think
Yeah, there is. There's two codes of Bowls: Crown Green & Flat Green. The basic difference is that in Crown Green there is a mound in the middle (the Crown) that players play over/around and in flat green the playing area is...well, flat. The clubs in places like Worthing, Eastbourne, Brighton, Chichester etc are all flat green.
I heared on the TV yesterday that Tunbridge Wells has a curling rink?.
