Indoor Equipment & Services

Introduction:

While we like to think that all the action takes place on the bowling green, we know Crown Green Bowls has a thriving social community within its clubs. Keeping the club element running smoothly can often be more challenging than the bowls side. This is where good suppliers come into their own, weather its value for money or a great service, these companies are pivitol to a smoothly run and efficient bowls club.

First Aid / Health & Safety

First things first, it’s imperative that all who come to play bowls, all leave in a similar condition. If your club is not holding appropriate First Aid or Health & Safety equipment and training, you are putting people at risk. Here’s a few organisations that can help: 

St John Ambulance offer a wide variety of services and products from e-learning training courses and refreshers, community group  training modules at your club, guidance on manual handling, CPR and basic life support.

They also offer equipment packages including defibrillators and first aid kits.

Being prepared might just save a life.

A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest. This high energy shock is called defibrillation, and it’s an essential part in trying to save the life of someone who’s in cardiac arrest. 

You can purchase a wide variety of options and read guidance for purchase, positioning and maintenance of this vital equipment.

Catering / Supplies

A sound financial club model often relies on strong catering and bar facilities along with the volunteers to make it all happen. The more professional this side of your club is, the more likely you are to attract a solid foundation of members. While much can be bought inexpensively at supermarkets, specialist suppliers still have a key role to play.
