Over the past few weeks we have been setting up Bowlr, a Membership & League Management System for bowls clubs. It replaces our existing on-line diary and can be accessed by clicking 'Bowlr' in on the top menu. To use the Bowlr application you must be a paid up member of the Isle of Wight Indoor Bowls Club and have been issued with a membership number and password. 

We are aware that not all members are comfortable with technology so it was important that we chose a system that is straightforward to use. We believe that Bowlr is such a system. It has the following features -

• Cloud based: in other words, as long as you can get a connection to the internet and have a membership number and password, you can access the club's system from anywhere.

• Once connected you can -

  • view the online diary

  • make a rink booking

  • make yourself available for club games (printed versions will still be available on the notice board)

  • view league fixtures and tables

  • view club competitions

• It enables us to manage membership, leagues and competitions

• It prints out our scorecards

• It combines all of our mailing lists so the information we are using is always up-to-date

All friendly games and leagues fixtures will be entered in the diary before the season starts. Members will only be required to book their individual roll-ups or competitions.

The only personal information the system holds is what you told us on your application form. It is password protected and continuously backed up.

We have created a guide to assist you in using the system - a copy can be found in the documents section on the club's website or by clicking here.

We have also create an introductory video to show you how to use the system. It can be viewed by clicking here.
