Basic Club Information

Jan 19, 2022

Communication.

Information Line.

From the beginning of the season we will be using our website to provide green closure updates that we provided on the information line. These will be on a banner running along the top of the Bowls Canterbury website home screen. This will be updated as soon as we receive information and will be a lot easier for us to update and more efficient.

The information line will be disconnected once the new system is underway.

Any member requiring information of any kind about club matters should feel welcome to contact the appropriate person as listed at the front of the book. If in doubt as to who can best assist, your club captain will advise and guide you. Any problems of a serious nature should be put into writing and forwarded to the secretary for consideration by the executive.

BE PROUD OF YOUR CLUB
Learn the laws of the game and if you want to succeed practise as often as you can
and include the rolling of the jack.
Be proud of your club and protect it from gossip.
If you disapprove of some action taken by your committee tell the committee, not the world.
Support your club’s revenue making activities – the benefits will come back to you.
