Winslow Bowls Club

Congratulations to Sheila Cadge and Roger Hayman who have now passed their Level 1 Qualification in coaching bowls.

This was an intensive course and the only one nationally recognised  by the English Bowls Association.

Sheila and Roger will now evaluate how to best take this forward for the benefit of club members.

We play the sport for enjoyment, for the pleasure of pitting our skills against others in friendly competition.  Our sport has a long standing tradition for its common courtesy and etiquette and Winslow Bowls Club expects all members to be aware of and uphold these standards.

Hopefully this guidance will be useful for newcomers to the sport and also to experienced bowlers so that we may improve the experience of playing bowls and representing our club in the wider bowling community.

The documents, now available on line and also displayed on the club noticeboards, contain more details on the following themes:

• Duties and expectations: All players have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards and to contribute to make the game enjoyable for themselves and others.
• Dress code: Winslow Bowls club expects that all players respect the dress code.
• My responsibilities: Please be aware of the responsibilities relevant for your playing position.
• Etiquette for members playing outdoor bowls: Bowling Etiquette is about good sportsmanship, common sense and good manners.

The Club is keen to welcome both novice and experienced disabled bowlers to make use of its facilities.
