A Simple Guide to Current Requirements for the 2011/2012 Season

A great deal of confusion has arisen since the introduction of the new “World Bowls” stamp. Below is a simple guide to the current requirements.

Firstly all composition bowls (i.e. not Lignum Vitae) must have a legible stamp dated 1985 or later on them. If you play with Lignum Vitae bowls, the 1985 relaxation does not apply, they must be stamped every 10 years, therefore you must get them stamped as soon as the expiry date is reached. All stamps must be legible.

If you have any of the following stamps you will be able to play in Club, County and National Competitions until you qualify for National Championship Finals. The expiry date on these stamps must be 1985 or later.


All players reaching the National Championship Final Stages, including the semi-finals of the Denny Cup, Denny Plate, Yetton Trophy, Mason Trophy and Over 60 Double Rink must have a World Bowls Stamp with an expiry date of 2012 onwards until the date expires, after which you will have to have your Bowls re-tested.

The new World Bowls Stamp is shown below and if you have this on your bowls you will be able to play in all matches including internationals
