Social Bowls – Conditions of Play
Roll-Up Policy
The following guidelines are to be used when requests are made to have roll-ups at SLBC.
One of the following criteria must be met for permission to be given for a roll-up:
1. Must be a member of SLBC or
2. If a member of another club, that club must be connected to SLBC
through affiliation with Bowls Australia or
3. Must be a guest of a current SLBC member where the member is in
attendance.
If there is a large group of people requesting a roll-up, they should be directed
to our Visit-In Coordinator for a possible Visit-In process as space on the greens
may not be possible on roll-up times.
People wanting a roll-up must wear authorized bowls shoes, rubber flat soled
thongs will suffice as an interim.
Roll-up times are 10am till noon, Tuesday through Sunday (although greens
will not be rolled on Sundays). The Greenkeeper board above the mat box
must be checked before commencing a roll-up to find out what green/s and
direction/s are to be used for the roll-up. The Greenkeeper has the right to
close the greens to roll-ups at any time and this will also indicated on the
Greenkeeper board.
Roll-ups can not be undertaken on a green where official SLBC games are being
played.
A Roll-up Fee of $5 for non-SLBC-members applies, which can be paid at the
Bar
Approved Footwear
As you are aware, we at Solander Lake Bowls Club are rightly proud of our 2 Greens which are
of the highest quality.
Our Greenkeeper, Dan, has over 20 years’ experience and continues to work very hard to
maintain our Greens and provide us with a high standard playing surface.
To maintain this level and to avoid damage it is essential that we wear the correct footwear
whilst playing and/or practicing at roll ups.
It has been noted that recently there are a number of bowlers who are wearing inappropriate
footwear. While the overall numbers are relatively low, the trend seems to be increasing. This
is of concern and cannot continue.
Whenever you are on the Greens, you MUST wear Bowls Australia (BA) Approved Footwear.
Attached to this notice is a list of all bowls shoes which are currently approved by BA. If your
shoes are not on the list they are not acceptable and you will need to take action immediately.
The Committees and the selectors on any given day will be looking to enforce this by asking
potential offenders to inspect their shoes. Please don’t be offended if someone taps you on
the shoulder and asks to check your shoes.
Smooth soled thongs are acceptable for roll ups and other casual bowls activity.
If you have any questions please speak to our Greenkeeper, Dan or a member of your Bowls
Committee.
YOUR CO-OPERATION IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
