Participation Types in BowlsLink

When creating a Membership, it is a requirement to assign a type. There are five (5) types available throughout BowlsLink but these have been segmented into Membership and Participation to help create a clear difference between the two.

Membership types include:

• Competition Bowler, a person who participates in competitions with prizes or represents their club or higher level association. i.e. Full Bowling Member or Life Member (Green dot icon)
• Social Club Bowler, a person who rolls up and participates in social bowls at the club in which they are a member only. i.e. Social Bowler (Dark blue dot icon)
• Non-Player, is a member of the club but does not participate in any Bowls activities. i.e. Member (Non-Playing), Social Member, Life Member (Red dot icon)

Participation types include:

• Program, a person whose only participation is in an organised competition which runs for a specific period of time greater than 4 sessions. i.e. Jack Attack, Night Bowls, Business Bowls – These are often four (4) or more session. (Light blue dot icon).
• Experience, someone who participates in bowls activities in a non-formal basis, generally this is for a one-off experience such as barefoot bowls or a private function. i.e. Barefoot Bowls and Social Events – these are often one-off sessions. (Yellow dot icon).
