Guidance from Bowls Scotland – please ensure you familiarise yourself with before booking.
We are also planning to have bookable awareness sessions over the weekend to ensure you understand what is required of you to play bowls going forward. The guidance states that “Players should go through the clubs booking system and not just turn up to the green to play”, however it has been decided that all Players must book a rink for play.
To comply with the guidance we are carrying out a Risk Assessment of the clubhouse and green area. All members who wish to play must sign a Players Disclaimer for the Club to comply with the insurance recommendations.
