TESTING

Our official WB testing services are dis-continued as from March 31st 2010. It has reached a point where so few players want their set tested, the annual licence and testing fees payable to World Bowls are greater than revenue from testing/ date stamping of sets. We continue to have a table, can check and renovate sets for accuracy etc and will re-instate if demand is shown in the future.

Testing over past 7 years showed approx 60% not legal for play under the Rules mainly due to playing on sand topped synthetic grass first introduced in the early 80's and testing was stopped at this time. [Bowls are to have a bias not less than the Working Reference Bowl and group on a table within 100mm circle, rule compliance is currently deemed voluntary, see other details below]

We remain certificated bowls testers but sets requiring an official WB stamp will have to be sent to Australia as our table will be un-registered, we regret any inconvenience caused.

Below is a WB Test certificate indicating the criteria checked. In addition a set of bowls must be "a set of 4 bowls" of the same make, model, serial number, colour and emblem marking & painted colours.
