“ Use For “ Following discussions with Bowlers using the site I have included a "use for" Column In which you can see different letters I,O,S. I/O, O/S These letters can be used as a guide for best use of the make and model
I =Indoors ( the full length Indoor game ), O =Outdoors Flat Green , S = Shortmat ( the 10 or 15 yard carpets) . Where you see O/S this means the bowl can be used for both Outdoor and Shortmat game , while I/O means the set can be used Indoor and Outdoor
Please note most Bowls can be used for most purposes but generally some are better suited to Indoor, some to Outdoor, some to Shortmat . seldom does one set of bowls suit all conditions .
Condition of Bowls
I will make every effort to describe the condition of the bowls accurately but If you wish to see a photograph of a set of bowls to help you assess their condition , I will arrange for a photograph to be taken and emailed to you.
As a Guide In the summary I use the following abbreviations F, F/G, G, NN
F means Fair condition- These will have had regular use and have marks on the playing surface , any chips or deep scratches on the bowls will be identified
F/G means Fair to Good -These will have regular use and the playing service will have normal wear and tear but no chips or deep scratches
G-Good These Bowls will have no chips or deep scratches on the surface but will have lost their original shine and may have shallow surface markings.
NN -Nearly New This bowls have no surface marks and retain the original shine of a new Bowl.
