Also refer to the Useful Links page for where one can purchase bowls equipment in this area and guidelines on selecting bowls. Match Selection The club encourages new members to put their name down on the availability sheets for matches as early as possible after joining; it helps them to gain experience and understanding of the game, and to meet other club members who will be happy to provide advice and pass on their experience. The majority of availability sheets are in the main room of the pavilion. Men's veteran availability sheets are located in the men's changing room. Teams are selected on Tuesday evening so enter your name on the availability sheet by Monday evening and check the selection sheets as soon as possible after Tuesday - they will be located in both the corridor and main room. If selected to play or be a reserve please tick your name on one of the sheets. If unable to play please advise the match captain ASAP. Reserves should turn up on match day in case they are required to play; all selected members need to report to the match captain at least 15 minutes before the agreed meeting time.
