PIBC Drop-In Rules for Visitors

PIBC welcomes bowlers who are visiting the city or who belong to an outdoor club and want to try bowling indoor. Please refer to our daily calendar to find a time when you can come to bowl. Look for sessions labelled 'Practice' or 'Drop-In Draws'. The monitor on duty will assist you when you arrive and help you find a rink to practice on.

 

We have a collection of club bowls available to use.

Visitor Fees:

  • Regular Drop-In Visits: $15 per person per 2.5 hour session. Visitors are allowed to participate in coaching, practice or drop-in play (not in league play). 

  • Weekly Pass: $75 per person for unlimited visits for a one-week period. Visitors are allowed to participate in coaching, practice or drop-in play (not in league play). 

Principles:

  • Guests who visit PIBC for drop-in play must be a member of any lawn bowling club either in Canada or worldwide and possess a membership card from a club affiliated with World Bowls.

  • Guests who are non-bowlers must be accompanied by a PIBC member or bowler from any lawn bowling club either in Canada or worldwide.

  • All guests must observe PIBC house rules.

  • Guests must pay a user fee as stipulated by PIBC.

  • Proper attire and acceptable shoes must be worn.

  • Guests who bring their own bowls must make sure that the bowls are clean and free of dirt, Grippo-like substance, or other wax products.

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.

  • Do not put wet towels on the carpet.
