Club Competitons
Finals week commences August 25th 2025 and you need to be available for this week. The Sundays before and after this week may be used if the weather is bad.
Finalists may not practice on the Collingwood green on the day of their final.
Janet Harrison organises the open ladies' knockout competitions and Jim Harrison organises the men's. All finals, including the veterans' section, are played in the club's finals week.
Typically, there is a backlog of knockout rounds to get completed before each round's deadline. Please avoid the risk of being knocked out due to running out of time by making arrangements to play as soon as possible. It is usually the player who is named first in a match who offers dates and provides a marker where needed but there is nothing to stop either player making arrangements in order to complete on time. The triples and pairs matches are hardest to arrange so please concentrate on getting these organised!!
Richard Tweddell organises the veterans' competitions which are usually played on a Saturday each month (dates in the handbook), as well as the veterans' knockout competitions where the finals are played in the club's finals week. For some of these competitions your playing partner is picked at random. Richard's contact details are in your handbook in the section headed 'Saturday Competitions'.
Please help your clubmates by offering to mark matches, when needed and if you have benefitted from someone marking in one of your games then make sure to return the favour.
Club competitions for Morpeth Bowls Club affiliated members.
Information about the draws for the ladies' competitions and the Taff Rowlands Mixed Pairs will be posted in the right-hand locker room along with the two vets competitions.
All other competition draws will be posted in the left-hand locker room.
Please do not delay in arranging matches so they are completed by the due dates. If you leave your match to the deadline and then something unexpected crops up which stops you from being available, then you should expect to be defaulted.
Please arrange your games promptly and ensure you add the match score along with the winner to the sheet in the left-hand locker room.
No matches should be started before 10:00. If there are lots of people wanting to play at the same time then draw for the order of selecting rinks but only if you have all your team ready to play. Use all 6 rinks and both greens. Vets knockout matches should be played on the bottom green to help spread the load.
Top named player in a match should select 3 of the numbered counters found hanging in the shed (or 2 if the rinks are busy) and allow their opponent to draw for the rink
to play on. The top named player finds a marker, when needed. Defeated players should offer to mark the next round.
