Because we can play bowls all year round, there are competitions throughout the year and even when the heat and humidity are high in the months of July and August, we still play, but during those months, the competitions are in the evenings when it is starting to cool down. Both greens are floodlit so if poor light is a problem, we sling a euro in the meter.

We split the competition season into two, winter and summer. The winter season starts in January and the summer starts with “Opening Day” at the end of August/beginning of September.

This is the competition programme for 2008.
