Notice boards
Notice boards are littered around the club house and all have a
separate and it appears ever changing priority.
If you want to stay up to date the best advice is frequently to wander
around these notices. Some information is
only displayed here and often you need to commit yourself to functions using
sheets which are hung here especially for that purpose. Often no other mention is made of these
functions and it is your only opportunity to sign up to many activities that are
the life blood of the club.
Official Board: On the wall alongside the bar is a large
space where official notices are displayed.
These include prospective member requests, official letters received by
the club, letters of thanks, and occasional team sheets, such as the Barlow
Redford Competition.
News Board: Between the official board and the kitchen is
a board where mainly news cuttings and some club photographs are
displayed. This board contains the
Fixtures and Results and the Duty Roster.
Results: The
results of all matches are posted on the list of fixtures. Any member who knows a result may add this to
the list. Captains in all matches
(except Club Competitions, which are not reported in the local Press) should
complete a match report form showing details for the Press reports. These are available from the box beside the
rink book.
Duty Roster: You are required to confirm your availability
to help in the kitchen with teas or lunches when shown. (New Bowlers have a
season or two before they are listed – so you should be comfortable with this
procedure prior to using it.)
Floating Info Board: Well its on wheels rather than water and is
usually stationed on the right of the club house. Club captains and president use this to
inform the progress of our members in the various competitions that are
happening outside of the club.
Member’s Board: On the front wall between the windows, the
board tell of specific social events that have happened, give members a chance
to advertise/ buy bowling equipment.
One particular event, the club trip to
Coach’s Board: Also on the front wall this board has coaching
info and special coaching sessions which are periodically arranged that you may
wish to sign up to.
Social Board: If no other board is checked each time you
visit the club, this one should be.
Situated on the side wall that connects the front of the clubhouse with
the bar and diagonally opposite the kitchen, it shows the social activity of
the club. And here you sign up to participate in the many events which the club
puts on throughout the season. As a
matter of course even if you have put your name down for inclusion in a certain
competition, you should make sure that if there is a social event associated
with it you also enter your name on the social list. Better safe than sorry.
Competition Boards: These are to be found in the corridor adjacent
to the changing rooms and show the draw for each of the internal club
competitions. Please refer to the FAQ on
competitions below for more information.
One of the uses of these boards is to house lists that are available for
members to sign up for certain competitions that occur during the year.
Match List Boards: These are found in the changing rooms. They contain the lists for club matches
against other clubs, which members are invited to fill in to show their
availability to represent the club in these matches. Club captains then make selections and these
are posted on boards in the changing rooms.
It is important that if selected you tick your name to inform the club
that you are aware of your selection.
District Boards: Members are invited to show their
availability to participate in district competitions representing either St
Albans District or
