Entry fee £2.50 for individual competitions and £5 per pair for pairs competitions.
Please note the prerequisite “three games” under Rule 17h has been waived for bowlers wishing to enter the Pairs, Over ‘70s and Over ‘80s competitions due to these starting early in the season. The “three games” requirement remains for all other singles and pairs competitions. Before you enter any competition, please refer to the eligibility criteria which you will find in the hvba Bye-laws.
Also see guidelines below for indicative handicaps and please note these are subject to review and may be adjusted for an individual at the discretion of the Management Committee. Any additional clubs where you, or your pairs partner, have membership must be noted in order that handicap adjustment for home advantage can be applied if necessary.
Bowlers in pairs competitions must both be members of the club under which they are entering.
Entry fees can be paid on the day, however entries must be placed in advance. No one will be allowed to turn up on the day and enter.
Please do not enter a competition and fail to turn up. This is both discourteous and frustrating to the organisers and fellow competitors. If you are forced to withdraw from a competition please ensure you notify the Competition or League Secretary at least 48hrs before the day of play. Failing this your entry fee will remain payable and you may not be accepted for entry into further competitions.
