Product Description The name Jaques is synonymous with quality sporting sets. John Jaques II won a place in sporting history, and a Gold Medal for introducing croquet into England at the Great Exhibition in 1851. His display there attracted such wide attention that the game speedily became the vogue, not only here but in Europe and throughout the British Empire. It was especially popular in India, reportedly played by The Viceroy himself with a solid ivory mallet, probably made by Jaques as part of their finest set. A replica of the garden bowls set, the carpet bowls subscribe to the same principle as its outdoor counterpart. Put simply, you need to bowl as many of your bowls as close to the jack as possible and ensure that your opponent doesn't. The winner is the person who accumulates the most points in the alloted number of ends (rounds). John Jaques Carpet Bowls is fantastic family fun.
