This week, we want to tell you all about Worthing Bowls Centre because for the past nine years, they have supported The Fish Factory in Worthing and this is our way of saying a HUGE Thank You!

Worthing Bowls Centre are key suppliers of equipment and clothing for the fast growing sport, lawn bowls.

So where did lawn bowls originate?

Many historians believe the game of bowls developed from the Egyptians who used to play skittles with round stones; others maintain it originated from a similar game played by Roman soldiers.

Whatever its origin, lawn bowls has spread across the world and versions of the game are played in places like Italy (Bocce), Denmark (Bolle), France (Boules) and even Polynesia (Ula Maika). The growth of the British Empire ensured its spread to places like Australia and New Zealand. The oldest bowls green still played on is in Southampton, England, where records date back to 1299 A.D.

Bowls is high on the list of most played and most watched sport in many countries. Far from being a sport for O.A.P.s, bowling is enjoyed by thousands of young people throughout the country.

The English Bowling Association (Bowls England) was founded in 1903 and organises numerous competitions from club to national level while World Bowls, based in Scotland, aims to provide leadership and governance of the sport and encourage its growth internationally. The English Indoor Bowling Association (EIBA) is responsible for the indoor side of the game.

Andy Sparsis and Tessa Beck, Birdman Competition Winner

More than 30 youngsters rose to the challenge to come up with creative and colourful costume designs during their stay at Worthing Hospital’s children’s ward. Andrew Sparsis, owner of Proto Restaurant Group came up with the idea for the children to design a costume for him for when he jumps at the Birdman on Sunday 15th August.

The winning costume designed by eight year old Tessa Beck, was a cheerleader costume from the blockbuster movie, High School Musical.  Mr Sparsis is now in the process of having a cheerleader costume made to his size along with a wig and pom poms which he plans to wear when he takes part in the Birdman competition in aid of the Love your Hospitals charity.

Mr Sparsis said he is really looking forward to doing the jump this year as for the last two years he has helped out with other teams, so he is hoping to get a lot of support from doing the jump.  Mr Sparsis hopes to raise £2000 for the Love your Hospitals Charity which supports both Worthing and Southlands Hospitals and St Richard’s in Chichester”.

So come on everyone, dig deep and support Mr Sparsis in Birdman! Click here NOW to go to his Just Giving Page.
