Markers Required

Marking a singles game is a very rewarding experience. You have the best "seat in the game". Two upcoming events will offer anyone that is marking an opportunity to see some very high level bowls.

Sevens

Our Club is hosting a round of the Women's Sevens this Sunday 14th Dec. 2025 and we require markers for the Singles.

There are 6 singles matches over the course of the day, so we really need your help to cover these games starting at 9am. If you can help, please text or call Mike Jones on 027 222 0028. 

Summerset Nationals - Markers

Our Club has once again been selected to host rounds of the Nationals including singles matches. The Nationals are played from January 2nd to 9th, 2026. Again we are seeking names of people who could help with marking at this event. Please let Mike Jones know by text or call on 027 222 0028.
