Monday Club
Have you an hour or two of spare
time on a Monday morning? Come
along and help make repairs around
the club, gardening or general tidy up.
Come & join in at 8.30am every Monday (except Public Holidays). Coffee & home made cake/biscuits most weeks. You'll certainly be made welcome by those already putting there skills to use.

Volunteers
Volunteers are the backbone of
any club. You will find many
volunteers within your club who
give their time to carry out a
wide range of tasks so that
members and visitors can enjoy bowling and club facilities. Our volunteers include members of the Board of Management, members that assist with night owls, those attending the Monday Club to name but a few.
Please be appreciative of their efforts and if there is any way you can help when you are not “on the green”, undoubtedly the West Lakes Bowling Club will be pleased to welcome you on board as a volunteer.

Conditions of Play
The MBA have released the conditions of play for the 2021-22 pennant season.
The Chair, Match and Program
Committee has also advised that
there have been significant changes
for the coming season, mostly
arising from a recent President’s
meeting and from results of the
MBA survey with clubs. Others are
from Match & Program Committee deliberations
related to the effects of COVID 19 on last season’s bowls and the potential for a similar disruption this season. There has also been some relocation of Rules and rewording to improve structure.
The advice from the Chair, Match and Program Committee, listing the changes, can be found here. A complete copy of the Metropolitan Pennant Conditions of Play 2021 / 2022 can be found here.
Members are encouraged to become familiar with the changes and Conditions of Play.
