What you need

Bowls BagsA pair of flat-soled shoes is mandatory in order to protect the playing surface (lawn or carpet).

A set of four bowls in a carrying sling. Most bowlers start off with a used set often available cheaply on ebay, and move on to buy a new set when they are certain of buying what suits them best.

Outdoor set of oilskins/coveralls just in case we are hit with a sudden shower of rain, because we are determined to play even if the weather turns changeable.

A Bowls Bag is useful to keep all your gear together, it holds your shoes, bowls, outdoor stuff, and the inevitable personal bits and pieces.
