Welcome ...

From Your Club Captain
As we look ahead to the new season, there is a real sense of excitement around the club. After a challenging year playing away from home, it will be fantastic to return to our own facilities and enjoy the opportunity to play on our new green.
The season ahead promises plenty of great bowls, friendly competition, and opportunities for both experienced and new players to get involved. Having everyone back at the club will also allow us to focus on welcoming new members and continuing to grow our bowls community.
I look forward to seeing members old and new enjoying what promises to be an exciting and memorable season at Bowls Darfield.

Playing on the Green
  • You are welcome to use the green at any time as long as the "Green Closed" sign is not displayed.

  • Please keep an eye on the "play" sign as this will direct you which way you will roll on the green, eg - away from the clubrooms, or parallel with the clubrooms.
  • In order to protect the green as much as we can, our greenkeeper asks that you:
  • wear flat soled shoes
  • use a mat when playing
  • refrain from having hot drinks on the green
  • refrain from dropping or "dumping" your bowls
  • Rinks are marked 1-7 or 1-8 (depending on direction of play). Again, in order to maximise an even wear across the green, members are asked to use rink 1 first, then rink 2, rink 3, etc. NOTE: Rink 1 will not always be at the side of the green, ie - depending on wear, the Rink 1 sign may be located on the 3rd rink.
Coaching
Out of respect for players, our coaches will not "interfere" by freely offering guidance. If you would like help, please ask them directly, or speak with your Club Captain for an introduction. We have four coaches available, each with their own style and approach, so you are able to make the decision that best suits you.
Volunteering
Our club is like most other clubs, in that we are run by volunteers. If you would like to help out in any way, please let your Club Captain or the Sub-Committee lead know of your availability.
Uniforms
Our uniform policy is "club uniforms are not required to be worn unless a player is playing in a club championship final, representing the club, and/or a governing body is in control of the green" Polo Shirts - these will be provided to members who are representing the club, as per policy. There is not cost involved. Waterproof jackets, vests, caps and hats are available for purchase, entirely at your discretion. Please contact the Uniform Coordinator for further information.
Key Contacts

"The customary role of polite behaviour in society or among members of a particular profession or group." Yes, lawn bowls has a code with a few key considerations are listed below. We also invite to read more our Code of Conduct.
  • Be ready - always be on time
  • Be respectful - games tend to start with a handshake
  • Be courteous and considerate to other bowlers - those in your team, in an opposing team, or games being played on other rinks
  • Be kind - do not criticise a bowler or their delivery
  • Show good spirit - win well, lose well
Please also note that mobile phones should be turned off during your time of the green.
