PIBC Drop-In Fees and Rules for Visitors

​​

PIBC welcomes bowlers who are non-members and are visiting the city and want to try bowling indoor. You must be a member of a lawn bowling club to bowl at PIBC.

​

BOOK IN ADVANCE

VISITORS CAN NOW BOOK A RINK IN ADVANCE SO YOU CAN BE SURE OF GETTING A RINK.

 

To book a rink:

1) Go to our daily calendar to find a time when you can come to bowl. Rinks labelled ‘Available’ are rinks that can be booked. The fee is $15 per person per session (minimum 2 people).

 

2) Simply email bowlr@pacificindoor.com and let us know what day, session and rink you want to reserve. One of our Bowlr Admin team will book the rink on your behalf and send a confirmation email. There is a $10 administration fee for booking a rink for 2 - 8 people. Note: There must be at least two people in your party to book a rink - we do not reserve rinks for individual bowlers.

TIP: When you email to book a rink, ask about how to get 'free 3 hr parking'.

 

3) When your rink is confirmed, please etransfer your drop-in fee ($15/person plus the $10 booking fee) to: treasurer@pacificindoor.com and mention the booking info in the etransfer memo

 

4) Please announce your arrival to the monitor on duty when you arrive.

​

Protecting our greens:

  • Wear proper lawn bowling shoes and/or brand name lawn bowling shoes that are clean and clear of any debris. Change into your clean shoes when you have arrived. If the shoes are deemed non-compliant by the monitor on duty, we have 'booties' that you can wear

  • Players MUST NOT wear their lawn bowling shoes on the street.

  • No running on the green

  • No eating or drinking beyond the yellow line.

  • No kind of wax/Grippo are permitted to be used as they will ruin the carpet.

  • Do not use liquid chalk on the bowls.
