SMLBC charges $20 for a lesson - however, when you join the club, the money spent on lessons counts towards your $90 annual membership dues. Once you are a member, you can bowl at any time the club is open at no charge!

Membership is required to play in SMLBC's regular games, which take place Sundays at 10am and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at noon. Consider that a full year's membership, even if you only bowl once a week, is less than $2 per visit - cheaper (and healthier) entertainment is hard to come by! The club has equipment for new bowlers to use until they are comfortable enough to purchase their own; the only things you have to provide are flat, smooth-soled shoes and a great attitude!

Alan Power provides some pointers during a lesson.
