EBA League action

Edinburgh Bowling Association League action tonight.

The first 16 will be hosting Parkside BC tonight with the action getting underway at 18:45. Two wins out of two for Sighthill BC so far in the league and we’ll be going for a hat trick of victories tonight.

The second 16 are on their travels to face Northern BC down at Canonmills. This also starts at 18:45 . Like the first 16, our lads are also looking for a 3rd straight victory although maybe a little tougher as playing away from home.

The very best of luck to both teams tonight, I’m sure we’ll get the results we want.

Where you will be able to follow along. If you’d like to participate then please let me know and I will add you.

Great News!

You will all be pleased to hear that you no longer need to book a rink for playing bowls. Due to the moderate relaxation of social distancing we can now have all 12 rinks available on a first come first served basis as it was previous to the Covid-19 pandemic. Please remember that everyone must sign the guest book when entering to continue with track/trace requirements.

HAPPY BOWLING!

Booking A Rink

Bowling will ‘hopefully’ start this week. We have been working hard to get a booking system in place for the rinks. There are rules that will need to be followed and they will be listed along with the booking form so please familiarise yourselves with them when the booking form goes live.

The link to the form is now on the website in the top menu. I’ve attached images to show you exactly where. The link is not live yet and takes you nowhere but it will be active whenever the club opens for bookings. I believe this may be this Thursday 28th for play on Friday 29th.

Due to social distancing guidelines, spectators and visitors are NOT ALLOWED in the club, it is strictly for play only. Therefore only members are permitted to book and play as long as they have a booking for a rink. Any questions regarding the policies then obviously you can always ask a committee member to clarify.

Booking a rink has some policies to allow fair participation although these may or may not be changed from now until opening pending review.

A digest of policies:

  • Rinks are booked on first come first served.
  • Rinks are allocated on first come first choice.
  • You can book a maximum of 1 x rink per day.
  • You can only book for the following 3 days eg. If today is Sunday, you can book for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. You will have to wait until Monday to book for Wednesday and so on.
  • A booking can and will be cancelled if found to be violating the policies of booking a green.

Ok that’s about it, I hope that all made some sort of sense. Take care and we’ll see you soon at the club (we hope).

No Games

Due to the Corona virus outbreak and subsequent isolation requirement there is currently no games being played.

Further information will be posted here when we have any update on the situation.
