Please
follow the few simple principles listed below to help maintain
the sportsmanship and courtesy that characterises the game of
bowls, and should characterise all bowlers representing Abronhill
Bowling Club.
Before a game
Check
that you know the correct dress for the occasion, and wear it.
Make
sure that you know the starting time of the game and be there
in sufficient time to change your footwear and be on the green
ready to start at the appointed time.
In a
team game, be there in time to welcome your guests.
During
a game
Only

step over Bankings or leave Bowls etc lying on Bankings.
Do not
infringe the laws of rink possession.
Wait
until the result of the end has been decided before kicking
away the bowls.
If you
are responsible for keeping the score, compare your card with
that of your opponent at regular intervals. If score boards
are in use make sure they agree with your card and the card
of your opponent.
Unless
you have been delegated to decide the shots at the completion
