Forth Valley Visually Impaired Bowlers is a group of people who are blind or partially sighted, and who play indoor and outdoor bowls, meeting once a week for a two hour bounce game. During summer months, they play at Larbert Bowling Club on Friday afternoons, and at Falkirk Indoor Bowling Centre on Wednesday afternoons during the winter months.
The groups is looking for volunteers to help assist the visually impaired bowlers during these bounce games. Volunteers would act as a guide and assist with helping bowlers on and off the green, guiding from one end of the green to the other, helping to pick up bowls, and helping bowlers understand where their bowl has landed using the clock system. Full training will be given (including on the clock system), with a practical induction involving shadowing and instruction from experienced bowling directors.
