How to be a Marker


In a game of Singles, a Marker is a vital cog in the wheel of a smooth running of a game.

If the Marker performs well, they should not be noticed by players or spectators.

On Sunday, 14/9/2008 at 2pm, a Coaching session, on "How to be a good Marker".

At this session, our Coaches will explain the good techniques and skills required by a Marker in a conducting a game of singles, and our Umpires will explain how to properly measure for shot (if called on to adjudicate as Marker).

An informative session is assured, so come along on the 14th of September, at 2pm, and learn "How to be a Marker"!

   

 


  

Wednesday Night Bowling
 

Every Wednesday, rotating between Ashburton, Camberwell Central and Bennettswood Clubs, commencing at 7.00pm.  We usually play 2 games of 10 ends, and conclude with a very sociable supper around 9:45 - 10.00pm.

All bowlers are welcome to place their name on the appropriate sheet on the club bench to advise your intention to attend, or phone Ray Salmon on 9511 4065 by Wednesday afternoon to reserve a spot for some hassle free bowling with folk you know quite well, and have the opportunity to become friendly with those from the other clubs involved.

Bowlers in their early stages of their bowling careers are most welcome to be part of these nights, and keep adding to their bowling experience.  Most nights seem to be compatible weather-wise, but there is no compulsion to play through uncomfortable weather.  Dress is casual, but newer bowlers are advised that bowls shoes are essential.

Please plan to expand your skills in both bowling and in sociability, and increase your bowling enjoyment as you share these nights with a friendly group.
