Such drives are open to ALL playing members regardless of level of skill or experience and will have a competitive element, with each member of the winning team on each date, receiving a prize.
Registration same as one day events, ie. list in clubhouse and online – there is also the opportunity to just turn up on the day (precedence would be given to those who had pre-registered should there not be sufficient rinks available).
Cost £3 to include tea and biscuits at the end of the session and a prize for each member of the winning team.
Time – we ask members to arrive between 1.30 –1.45 to register/select playing position ticket. The barrier will be manned from 1.30 and (at least) one registered player will be contacted pre session to assist on the barrier.
Dress – Casual/bowls shoes
Wet Weather – If the Green is closed by then the Greenkeeper, then no play. If weather is damp a decision by organisers of the day will be made by 12:00 midday and we will do our best to inform registered entrants.
Teams will be randomly selected on the day by entrantsselecting tokens from pots (more experienced players (determined by event organiser) will chose from a second pot, thus making teams more even and spreading expertise). The more experienced player is not expected to skip for the team, it will be up to the team to: decide on playing positions, set up and put away necessary equipment and complete own score cards.
The number of entrants will determine whether pairs/triples/rinks and number of bowls per player
One of the organisers will be appointed as umpire on the day and their word/decision is final.
