Funded by the Veterans’ Foundation, and taking place every Thursday morning (weather permitting) at Queen’s Park, Burnley FC in the Community host free Bowls games for ex-armed forces veterans.
The games allow veterans to meet others who have served while having a laugh and improving their overall health. There is also Extra Bowls which provides an opportunity for beginners to try.
For those who want to get competitive, there is a Veterans League format where the winner gets to lift a trophy! In addition, BFCitC organises trips to other Veterans Bowls teams.
