Yorkshire County Crown Green Bowling Association - New Rules


Finding Bowling Greens

Fairly new and still visiting greens for the first time? Try this.

1. Visit the Yorkshire County Crown Green bowling site (Green Locations) http://www.bowls.org/counties/greens/ykcba.html .

This gives some green details but the problem is it's not very detailed. It does however usually at least give you the name of a

road (but as you know some roads can be miles long) and never a Post Code. Make a note of the road name.

2. Now visit Microsoft's Live Search Site http://local.live.com/

In the second box down (city, address or landmark) enter the name of the street and city/town e.g. Carr Lane, Thorner or

Parlington Drive, Aberford. In some cases it may come up with multiple cities etc to choose from but it should be fairly easy

to select the appropriate one.

3. When you select the one you want this will come up on the map. In the top left hand corner of the map you will see a slider

. Under the slider you will see (Road, Aerial, Hybrid). Select HYBRID

4. Now zoom the map in as close as it will go (This is particularly good for the Leeds area, the Harrogate area is not quite as

good unfortunately)

5. You should now be looking at a Satellite picture of the area overlaid with street names. You can move the map around by

clicking and dragging. Bowling Greens are always easy to spot as you will see if you used the Thorner example above.

6. You can now familiarise yourself with the location, street names around it, landmarks etc. There are also options to Print

and to get driving instructions.
