Skittles, also known as Ninepins, was the pre-cursor to ten-pin bowling. The pins are set up in a square pattern and players attempt to knock them down with a ball. Skittles has been a popular English pub game since the 17th century and a much-enjoyed social and competitive activity undertaken by Members of the Probus Club of Beaconsfield and their good ladies ever since.
