Registration nights for 2020 are Tuesday 6th October and Thursday 8th October 2020. Competition starts the following week.
Fees are unchanged from last season:

- No green fees for registration night.
Encourage your friends and relatives to join in the fun. We had close to 50 teams last season and hope to improve on that this year. Competition is friendly with the emphasis on having fun. It is fair to say that it is not too serious for most bowlers but the competitive spirit is alive and kicking.

- Entry will only be available by the main entrance door.
- Exit from the clubrooms will only be available by the centre door
