Located in the ALSAA Sports Complex, Swords Road, Co Dublin, Aer Lingus Bowls club have a long and proud history. Established in 1989 its founding members formed successful and formidable teams. They won many tournaments, leagues and cups over the years. At present we have teams representing Aer Lingus Bowls club in the L.B.L.I. Ladies league and the B.L.I. Men’s league. Post covid we are in the process of encouraging.new members to join us. Lawn bowls is a wonderful sport. It has physical as well as social benefits. We meet every Wednesday and Sunday at 11am throughout the year. It is a place to meet up with friends to laugh, chat and get some exercise. We certainly get our “steps in”!. In the words of one of our greatest writers “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing” (George Bernard Shaw). Aer Lingus Bowls club is an inclusive club. We welcome all abilities, ages, and genders. Are you interested in trying lawn bowls this Spring/Summer? Do you know someone who might be interested? Would your club, Men’s/Women’s shed, Active Age group, organisations for individuals with additional needs, or school be interested in trying Lawn Bowls? All equipment will be provided for taster sessions. Please contact Des Walsh on 087 0678903/ Sandra McCarthy 0863114540 for further information or send a message on Facebook messenger Aer Lingus Bowls Club. We look forward to welcoming you. You will be assured of a warm welcome.

We are delighted to say that our classes are now in full swing as members work hard to eliminate the depredations of Christmas. We could possibly squeeze a couple of people into Yoga and Singing and Music, but we have had such a marvellous response from our membership this term that we have filled all classes. We are introducing a new class called Dancersize which we will initially run for six weeks, no partner needed. If you are interested in giving it a go see our contact info below.Just to remind you that you are eligible to join AAfA from age 55 and it is only €10.00 to join. We do give a warm welcome to new members, always delighted to see a new face. We also run free activities Croquet, Bowls, Boules outdoors, and Bowls, Pickleball and Table Tennis indoors. Our recent AGM was very well attended and we elected a new Committee and I wish them every success in their work on your behalf this year (See our pics). At the meeting we had a very interesting presentation from Danielle Monahan from Healthy Age Friendly Homes whose objective is to enable people to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible. We hope to organise a morning where Danielle will attend to give advice to people on an individual basis, privately. We will let you know the date later. As always we are looking for people to help on our Committee, so please get in touch if you would like to help. Or if you have any skills to offer.
