The French Federation of Lawn Bowls
Our ambition: to MAKE lawn bowls a true ‘ART DE VIVRE’ (way of life)
in France, combining English elegance with the French touch.
Our mission
Like any federation, our main goal is to promote our sport and its values. We want to create passion around lawn bowls, by building new fields with the Bowls Social Club label and by putting together a performing French national team to win medals.
It is this challenge that drives us. Going beyond the actual sport, we want to make it a way of life.
Our values
Transparency
The FFLB is committed to full transparency vis-à-vis the financial aspects and the achievement of its
objectives.
Way of life
We want to foster the elegance of the game and the Social Club spirit of lawn bowls.
Respect
We are committed to understanding and respecting each other, different cultures and sporting practices in view of a sustainable process of cohesion.
Voluntary service
Our motto: “To serve others rather than to serve oneself”. Each member of the FFLB is a volunteer and is committed to contributing effectively to the achievement of our goals.
Mixed events
We encourage mixed team tournaments, with equal participation by women and men.
Competitive spirit
The FFLB wants to drive collective success, performance and selfimprovement.
