Being a member of

Ixworth Bowls Club

Ixworth Bowls Club is run by an Executive Committee, elected at the AGM which is held in November.  This information has been produced for all our members and gives information regarding membership of the club.  If you have a query please talk to a member of the Committee. A list of committee members can be found on the club notice board.

FULL MEMBERSHIP

All full members of the club are asked to play their part in the smooth running of the club in a number of ways:  

Refreshments

After all evening league and cup matches at Ixworth, refreshments are served to both teams.  Every playing member of the club will at some point in the season be asked to provide these refreshments (a rota is displayed on the club notice board).  They usually take the form of sandwiches, perhaps sausage rolls or small pies, plus cakes.  

On Tuesday evening only two rinks are used which means that twelve players will need to be catered for.  As a rule of thumb this relates to one loaf of thin sliced bread made into sandwiches with 2 to 3 different fillings, 12 small savouries such as mini sausage rolls, and 12 small cakes.  For other games double the quantity.  If you need more information speak to a member of the Committee.  

Each home player pays to play, a portion of this is the rink fee, the remainder is a payment for the food – this will be paid to you for doing the catering.  It is up to you whether you take the full amount or an amount to cover your outlay.

Cleaning Rota

All members, unless they work on the green, are asked to help in keeping our premises clean.  A cleaning rota is displayed on the club notice board indicating when you have been asked to clean the clubhouse, you may switch duties with someone else if the date is inconvenient.  Saturday mornings are the best time to clean and the duty involves cleaning the main room, the changing rooms, toilets and kitchen.  For more information contact the cleaning organiser or a member of the Executive Committee.

Maintenance of Green and Clubhouse

The green is looked after by the Green-keeper and the Greens Committee.  As this is specialist work, a team of volunteers who are familiar with the equipment carry it out. If you would like to help with this or other maintenance work, please speak to a committee member.

Playing in a Team

The make up of a bowling block

The ‘block’ refers to the three players – Lead, Second and Skip who play together.

Sometimes it is referred to as a ‘Rink’, all league matches are played in these rinks or blocks, and within it each player has a particular role.  

The Lead.  The ‘Lead’ starts the game by placing the mat in line with the rink marker at a minimum distance of 2m and a maximum of 4m from the edge of the green, except for the first end when it must be placed at the 2m mark; he/she then casts the jack to the required distance, which must be at least 23m from the front of the mat.  If the distance is not reached, or the jack rolls into the ditch, or it is cast off rink; then it is returned for the opposing lead to cast it.  On any end, except the first one in a game, the opposing lead may change the position of the mat.  Once the jack has been ‘centred’ both leads play; alternately delivering all their bowls.  It is often said that a lead should not contribute to any discussion regarding the game, at Ixworth we believe that if a lead has a contribution to make then they should discuss it with the Second.

The Second  The ‘Second’ as well as bowling his/her bowls alternately with the opposing second; also informs the Skip of any changes to the ‘head’ and suggests what shot should be played.  He/she also records the score on the completion of each end on both a score card and the scoreboard.  In a game of pairs these duties transfer to the lead or skip.

The Skip  The ‘Skip’ is the third player to bowl and is in charge of the rink.  The other players take instruction from the skip, including the length of jack to play to, the type of shot to bowl etc.  The skip may also transfer some of the duties of the second to the lead.

ETIQUETTE

     

Every game begins with introductions, a friendly handshake and wishes for a good game.  During the game you should not:

 Speak loudly while others are bowling.

 Applaud or congratulate a member of the opposition whose bowl gives you the shot.

 Say anything that could be construed  as sarcastic

 Stand in the line of vision of the  player bowling

 Say well bowled to an obviously lucky bowl from a team mate, for example one that ‘wicks’ in for shot .

 Move about in the head

 Blame the green, conditions or your opponents bowls.

You should:

 Commend a good shot from team mates and opponents alike.

 Accept ‘flukes’ against you in good grace.

 Congratulate your opponent on the game whether you win or lose.

 Wish your opponent success in any other competitions they may play in if you have won, and,

 Wish them well in the next round if you have lost.

And remember always finish with a handshake.

The dress code for all competition bowling whether for the club or in a county, league or club competition consists of:

Flat sole bowling shoes

Grey trousers or skirt

Club Shirt.

BASIC OBSERVATIONS OF THE LAWS

There are two codes of flat green bowls played at IXWORTH BOWLS CLUB, English Bowling Federation (EBF) and to a lesser extent, English Bowling Association (EBA).  As our main code is EBF, the following points relate to that code.  The full laws of both codes can be found in the booklet rack in the clubhouse.

What is ‘Foot Faulting?  At the point of delivering the bowl the player must have one foot entirely within the confines of the mat, either in contact with it or directly above it, failure to do so is foot faulting and may incur a penalty.

What if I Play out of turn?  If a player plays out of turn, the opposing players may stop it in its course or allow it to remain where it comes to rest. If it moves either the jack or bowl(s) the opponents can declare the end ‘dead’.

Where do I stand?  When another player is bowling, all players at the bowlers end must stand behind the jack.  They should not converse with each other or the skip.  When at the ‘head’ all players must stand 2m behind the head, with the exception of the player giving instruction to the bowler.

What if I Move a Bowl?   When a bowl is disturbed from its course by the party to whom it belongs, then the bowl is declared ‘dead’, if by an opponent it is replayed or left where it comes to rest. Similar rules cover bowls that are moved after they come to rest; although there is provision for replacing it as near as possible to its original position.

Can the position I play in be changed?  After the completion of any end, and before the start of the next, the positions of the players can be changed; for example the skip may

change places with the lead or the second.  It is the skip who controls these changes.

When do I Deliver a bowl?  A player must not bowl until the previous bowl has come to rest.  It is important to remember that after your own bowl has come to rest the ownership of the mat has transferred to the opposition.

When can I ask a Question?  You can only ask a question of a marker or team mate when you have ownership of the mat/rink, and as ownership changes when a bowl comes to rest it means you cannot ask any questions until you are ready to deliver your next bowl.

What do I do on completion of an end?  The last player to bowl should remove the mat to the bank, but not until the bowl has come to rest.  After the score has been agreed upon, including any measurements; all players must assist in moving the bowls to a position behind and to one side of the mat in readiness for the next end.

What Bowls count in the score?  Only those bowls that are closer than the opponents closest bowl can score; but they must not be more than 2m from the jack!

It is useful for all members to acquaint themselves with the laws of the game.  Remember that some of the above answers are only applicable to Federation Bowling.

BEHAVIOUR ON THE GREEN

Sometimes players are unaware that they are behaving in a way that can upset others, some things however should be clearly apparent.

It is important to recognise that bad language and language of a sexist or racist nature, or language likely to bring the game or the club into disrepute is not tolerated on the bowling green.

It should also be recognised that gesticulating in an aggressive manner, or berating other team members in a way likely to cause distress is not permitted.

MATCH AND SOCIAL BOWLING AT IXWORTH

Social Bowling (Roll ups)

For friendly roll-ups (which take place on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday afternoons, and Wednesday evenings);  and for any practice bowling or coaching sessions with new members or visitors, the formal dress code need not be adhered to, but bowling shoes are still required, visitors without bowling shoes may wear trainers.  For all practice and roll up sessions a rink fee of 50p per person is payable.

To protect the green, non-competitive games should be played between rinks unless the greenkeeper directs otherwise   If the green is beginning to show signs of wear in the area just in front of the mat, players are requested to move the mat to a point in front of the 4m mark when practising or playing a friendly game.

Bowling for the Club

Every bowler at Ixworth can play for one or more of the five league teams we put out each week.  At the beginning of the season you will be asked to list those leagues you would like to play in either on a regular basis, occasionally or in emergency only.  To make yourself available for selection, either enter your name on the team lists that are displayed on the notice board just inside the entrance to the club house; or speak to the team captain.  Some captains may ask about you availability a week before the game.

For novice players it is important that the team captain has seen you play, either when you are practicing or at one of the roll up sessions.  This enables them to assess your strengths, which may influence the position you are played in.  At Ixworth we try to give all members at least one game a week, but do bear with us if on some occasions we fall short of this ideal.  A good starting point for bowlers is to play in friendly games, when they are available.

The selected team will be displayed on the outside notice board.  If you are selected to play or have been selected as a reserve, tick your name.  If you need transport to an away fixture make your requirement known, and be at the agreed pick-up point in good time.  If you intend to travel direct to the away green write ‘direct’ next to your name.  If you cannot play read the instruction on the team sheet and do as it directs.  Reserves are encouraged to turn up for a game in case of unforeseen circumstances, and remember it is a privilege to play for your club.

ENTERING COMPETIONS

County Competitions   The entries for these are made at the end of the season, and before the end of September to allow the secretary to forward them to the County Secretary.  To enter, write your name together with partners for Pairs or Triples on the appropriate entry form which is posted on the notice board to the left of the kitchen door. The home drawn player will receive a card and must contact the opponent to arrange a date, offering at least two and avoiding county or representative games, the dates of which are listed in the handbook, which will be given to you at the start of the season.

League Competitions   These are entered at the beginning of the  season following the same pattern as County Comps, and games are arranged in the same way

Club Competitions   The lists for these are put up at the beginning of the season, enter them in the same way as for County and League.  When the draws have been made, they are displayed on the same notice board.  While the ‘home’ drawn player should make contact to arrange a suitable date and time to play the game, the ‘away’ drawn player should also make contact if communications break down. Pairs and Triples competitions are usually played on a specific day.  

Notes.  There are entry fees for all competitions, which must be paid before you play the first game, and a rink fee must be paid for all home County & League Comps.  Under no circumstances enter a player in any competition without their permission.

SOCIAL MEMBERSHIP

The club also has a social membership; it is open to those who may not want to bowl, but would like to make use of the club facilities (the bar is open for evening home games).  A range of social events are held during the year.
