Rules
of the Warrington Winter League The competition is open to all BCGBA registered players All players must pay the Winter bowling fees payable to Warrington Borough Council.

Bowlers should attend the venue and book in by 09:15 on the Sunday. Bowling will commence at 09:30. Weekly handicaps will play down to the final which will be decided on a toss of a coin.

Supplementary competition handicaps are 3 for Ladies and 1 for men and the game will be 15 up and played to a finish. The weekly winner will lose 2 off the handicap and the runner up will lose 1.
