Outdoor leagues:
Buxton & District
Longdendale
North Derbyshire
Stockport & District
The sport of bowling in Derbyshire is traditionally played on the grass surface of outdoor crown greens during the summer. Teams from the towns and villages of the High Peak compete in several local leagues: Buxton & District, Longdendale, Matlock & District, North Derbyshire and Stockport & District.
During the winter bowling is practised on indoor mats. In 2008 HPIB acquired National Lottery funding to "upgrade equipment and coaching in order to improve members' skills and facilitate greater participation from the wider community".
HPIB has a maximum of twenty four teams in leagues playing on Friday evenings (6:00pm & 8:00pm) and Saturday mornings (9:15am & 11:15am). Teams of four, each player with two bowls, compete on three separate long mats in the sports hall at the Chapel Leisure Centre, Chapel-en-le-Frith.
 |
The playing surface is protected by the use of indoor shoes. Players use their own bowls or the narrow biassed size 3H provided in-house. At the end of play on Saturday each mat is rolled onto a core, mounted on trolleys and moved to the equipment store. |
