Club Rules

1. No member shall enter any ILB competitions as an original entrant or as a substitute without having been ratified and agreed by the Bowling Committee.
2. Only fully paid-up members of Westmanstown Bowling Club shall be allowed to mark any match played on Westmanstown Bowling Green. All ILB matches starting at 10.30 am, 2.30 pm or 6.00 / 6.30 pm have priority over all friendly matches, club matches and rinks, and must be given choice of rink. The Sunday and Tuesday rinks have priority for rinks over club competitions.
3. When ILB Premier Division, Senior Division 1 Saturday or Wednesday (4 rinks) matches are being played, only ILB games may be played at the same time if there are rinks free. For other ILB matches one free rink must be left between the ILB match and any other rink in use. The ILB may draft in official umpires as required.
4. If a league match in Club colours is being played, then other players using the green must also be in Club Colours. However, it would be unfair to expect club match players to be in club colours if their match clashed with a re-scheduled match.
5. All motions to the Governing Body must be ratified by the Executive.
6. All matches shall be played in accordance with the Laws of the Sport as laid down by World Bowls and/or with any club rules which may be introduced by the Executive Committee.
7. If a member dies on the rink, the rink immediately closes for the day. When a member or ex-member dies, the club will close for a period as determined by the Executive Committee to allow members attend the funeral and pay their respects to the colleague’s family.
