Barefoot Bowls Brisbane is growing in popularity at a phenomenal rate. It is a great way to get to know the game of bowls, without having to spend on bowls equipment to do so. Attire for the game is totally casual/mufti and you can wear flat soled shoes if you have them, otherwise you just play barefoot.
