The Research:
The aim of this study was to provide information on the levels and patterns of use of indoor bowls centres in order to re-define a set of parameters for Sport England's Facilities Planning Model (FPM).

To achieve this the survey aimed to:

• Establish the number and characteristics of customers in terms of gender, age group and social class
  
• Establish frequency of visit, duration of activity and catchment area
  
• Determine the balance (percentage of time) between club, school, casual and coaching/instructional usage
  
• Measure the distribution of various types of usage between peak and off-peak times
  
• Determine the range of sports offered and the percentage of time allocated to each.
  

Together this data will be used to re-define the following FPM parameters:

• At-one-time capacity
  
• Peak period
  
• Participation rates
  
• Programme balance
  
• Relative attractiveness

Progress to date:
Project completed.
