THE ORGANISATION & MANAGEMENT OF WINTER INDOOR BOWLING ACTIVITIES
THE ORGANISATION & MANAGEMENT OF WINTER INDOOR BOWLING ACTIVITIES
RESPONSIBILITY
1. The Indoor Secretary (IS) is responsible to the General Committee for planning and controlling all indoor bowling activities. This encompasses the number, structure and the population by paid up members of: -
a) League Teams (LT).
b) Organised Roll up Groups (RUG).
c) Casual roll up sessions in “vacant” rink periods.
COMPOSITION OF TEAMS & GROUPS
2. Members of League Teams and Roll-up Groups for an indoor season are deemed to automatically retain that membership in the following indoor season unless an existing selection system is already approved (i.e. the Ladies League).
3. When requested by the Indoor Secretary (in early summer), League Teams & Roll-up Group secretaries must confirm back to the Indoor Secretary their members names and of any drop-outs or losses for which replacements are required (i.e. left the Club, temporary/permanent disability, not wishing to renew, etc).
4. Losses & Shortages
Once the Indoor Secretary has a full picture of all League Teams/Roll-up Groups needing replacement players the Indoor Secretary will liaise with the Development Officer to identify suitable new recruits (for Roll-up Groups) and more experienced recent members (for League Teams) to fill the vacancies. The Indoor Secretary will then contact the LT/RUG secretaries to slot the new members in.
5. Transfers
If members themselves wish to withdraw or transfer from one LT/RUG to another, they must first contact the Indoor Secretary. The Indoor Secretary will then contact both LT/RUG secretaries concerned to mediate and approve the transfer.
6. Poaching
The practise of a LT/RUG secretary or a player approaching players of other LTs/RUGs to promise their transfer over is not permitted. No agreement to such transfers can be made without the pre-knowledge and agreement of the Indoor Secretary.
7. New Teams & Groups
Members considering the creation of additional LT/RUGs must first consult the Indoor Secretary before making any firm arrangements with people.
8. New Club members with no previous bowling experience (e.g. no other club membership) should not join indoor League Teams without an initial season in an organised RUG for developing their knowledge and techniques. Any exceptions to this must first be agreed with the Indoor Secretary.
9. The Indoor Secretary will ensure all League Secretaries are kept informed of the developing winter programmes so that they can carry out their supporting duties satisfactorily.
