Frank Kaweski presented a short talk to over 20 members, covering the most pertinent aspects of Lawn Bowling Etiquette. Here are the main points:
- After greeting, there should be a coin flip (not a ‘kick of the bowl’!)
- Participants need to take out their assigned equipment
- The mat should be 1 metre past the bowls – move the mat rather than the bowls!
- Pay attention, and be ready to bowl
- Encourage others
- Walk up the centre of the green, and around the Head to the back
- Do not linger around the Head
- Rakes need to be placed so they’re ready top be lifted and carried out (don’t encroach onto neighbouring rinks!)
- When measuring both parties need to agree the result
- Stand still behind the Head
- Please be on time!
