Hi,

two friends of mine an me are going to travel to Dublin from Oct. 01st to 5th to do a little roadbowling. In the place where we come from this kind of sport is called "Bosseln" and we would like to get to know the main differences between both styles. Would anybody like to do a little roadbowling together with us?

Best wishes, Steve

I don't have any experience with either sport myself but did find some info on Wikipedia for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klootschieten
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Road_Bowling

which I hope has enough information for you to figure out the difference between the games. 

And let us know how you get on in Ireland!  Pictures would be great, too (hint, hint )

Safe travels,

Wendy

Hi IrishFlair,
Thanks for the links and your kind words...
It would be very nice if we could find a few Irish for doing some roadbowling. I think it would be great fun...
Of course I know Klootschieten - it is a popular game in the region I am from.
I will let you know about our experiences with international roadbowling!! (understood, understood )

All the best, Steve
