As a budding guitarist of some 40 years with still no sign of blossom, I was somewhat jealous of one of Bowls Central's customers this week. I had an uplifting message from Reg Rapley from Windlesham Bowls Club in Surrey to say they had a visit from none other than Brian May!
Over to Reg to tell the story:
Bowls Central has been delivering greenkeeping and club management advice for 5 years now and we have grown a substantial readership as a result.
Now that the site is established as an online destination for bowlers and clubs looking for help, I’d like to expand the range of advice offered.

With this in mind, I’d like to ask if you, or any of your friends have experience in either of these fields and would be interested in writing an article, a series of articles or even a regular column for Bowls Central?
I’d like to see this type of help expanded as much as our readership feels it needs to be on Bowls Central so am happy to support you in any way I can to help you deliver advice on these subjects. There is no direct payment available for this work, but depending on the quality and frequency of articles you are able to provide, we can support writers in some or all of the following:
Please feel free to reply with any questions you have about this, or to make a suggestion. I’d also be pleased if you could alert any of your friends or contacts who might be interested.
Please reply using the contact form.
