2026 ONE DAY COMPETITIONS

at Meole Brace BC

The following three competitions will be held on the dates indicated with a start/scratch time of 10:00am so please arrive between 9:30 and 9:45am. No need to pre-enter for the Singles and Doubles – just turn up on the day if you want to play. For Presidents Day, entries will be strictly limited to 40 players so those who pre-enter (email or phone Chris Kershaw) will be guaranteed a place (until we reach 40). Those turning up on the day will be accommodated until all vacant places are filled. Entry fee for each comp will be £3 per player - please bring correct money if possible.

For the Singles and Doubles comps, all first-time losers will go into a consolation comp so everybody guaranteed two games on the day. Monetary prizes for the Singles and Doubles for all winners and runners-up in both main and consolation comps but no trophies. All members of Meole BC will suffer a 2 point handicap in both main and consolation comps.

Winner of Presidents Day will receive the Bill Garratt Cup and a pewter tankard plus monetary prizes for winners and runners up on each green.

RULE CLARIFICATION

Rule 3(e) has been modified in the interest of clarification and now reads as follows with the change highlighted in red:

All players must have attained the age of sixty five years although if a player will reach the age of 65 on or before 30th September, they will be eligible to play from the start of the season.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM

This form is for bowlers to fill in, place in an envelope (sealed if you wish) and keep in your bowls bag at all times. If you suffer a medical emergency whilst at a match, the form can be handed to a first responder/para-medic at the scene and could save your life.

It is up to you whether you fill in the form or not. If you do, it is recommended that you inform your team captain, vice-captain and fellow team members so others are aware that you have this form in your bowls bag. The form is available for downloading and printing off from the green area on the left hand side of the screen by clicking on “MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM”

Suitable Footwear at League Matches

This is a reminder regarding the BCGBA rule on open toed footwear which states:

Law 10.3: Suitable footwear must be worn. Hard or block-heeled footwear, or open-toed footwear must not be worn whilst on the green in any match played under the Association’s jurisdiction. The offending player(s) shall receive no further score and the opponent(s) shall receive the maximum score.

No interpretation of this Law allows a player to play in only socks/stockings or in bare feet.

As all our matches are played under the BCGBA's jurisdiction this means that any player not conforming to the above cannot play in a League match unless they are wearing approved footwear

Club Contacts

If you have to contact another team captain or club official, you need to log on using your club password (as if you are entering your home match results), and then select Club Contacts which will open up a new page displaying contact names and telephone numbers.
