The prestigious World Indoor Bowls Championships will be held at Potters Resorts, Hopton-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, England, for the 27th year.

Potters is to bowls what The Crucible Theatre is to snooker, and Ally Pally is to darts, with the best of the best coming to compete over 16 days of competition.

The favourite to win the open singles title this year is defending champion Stewart Anderson, who beat fellow Scot Alex Marshall in the final last January.

There's Lawn Bowls, which you'll see in the Commonwealth Games and is played on a flat rectangular bowling green. The aim is simple - to get your bowls as close as possible to a smaller target ball called the 'jack'.

Crown Green Bowls is similar, but is played on a square bowling green which is made of natural grass, with a larger jack. There is a raised area or 'crown' in the green that makes the ground uneven, making it a bit more difficult.

Indoor Bowls again offers a different surface, played on a carpeted area.How do I start?
