Bowls Australia is undertaking a major review of the BA Domestic Regulations and submissions are invited from affiliated players, clubs, divisions and regions on any updates or alterations that they would like to see made.
Process details are available from your club secretary, with submissions closing on January 31.
Country Week will be from February 17-21 at Central Wendouree.
The entry form has been sent to club secretaries.
Players are reminded that practice roll-ups before lunch are governed by Bowls Victoria rule 14, as follows: Before 12 noon on the day of a match any player due to play in that match can with the permission of the venue club practise on any rink other than the rinks on which they are scheduled to play or any part of the rinks allocated for the match (including east west or on the pegs if game was to be played north-south and vice versa if game was to be played east-west by direction of the host club).
You must have permission from the venue club and playing on the pegs is not permitted.
