2025 Try Bowls Activator Recruitment

Bowls is one of the biggest participation sports in Scotland with over 800 clubs and 50,000 members. Over the last two years, we have recruited eight Try Bowls Activators (TBA’s) as part of a 3-year (2023-2026) commitment to provide strong, meaningful, localised support for clubs. Specifically, community to club transition, retention, and membership growth in addition to the support provided by our wonderful National Development Officers.

Our ambition is to have 16 TBA’s in place by the end of 2025. TBA’s are voluntary positions, however clothing, IT equipment, coaching qualifications and travel expenses will be paid.

Here’s one of our existing TBA’s Bob McChristie and Bowls Scotland National Development Officer, Holly Hamilton, to tell you a bit more about the roles.

We encourage applications from all sectors of the bowling community and would particularly welcome applications from females, rural communities and people with a disability, as underrepresented groups in the bowing workforce.
