Bowls Three Wishes - Welcome all, Surfaces & Governance
1. "The surface is the same for both Teams/ Bowlers"
Play the surface you have and maybe recognize the work done/ money spent to give us all the ability to play bowls AND maybe thank the club/ organizers/ venue for their work so we can all #JUSTplayBOWLS
"Think about how negative comments affect potential/ new bowlers"
2. Governance / "Cost of Living Crisis" - Its "Grassroots" bowlers who pay the salaries.
Does your club use your Bowls Format's National Governing Body or the Sport England funded About - Bowls Development Alliance as a resource/ support?
As a bowler/ club member, could you do more to help your local club to save costs?
Do you know others in your local community who would love to join as a bowler/ social member and or help out at your bowls club as a volunteer.
Some Clubs / Facilities provide FREE BOWLING sessions at times people are available as part of their local community e.g. young families, juniors.
There is a lot of financial support available does your club know how to access that support?
3. Make a Bowls club a welcoming place with a supportive culture
The feedback we receive is just one member can mean your clubs loses/ does not attract new members.
