League Update

Both of the West Edinburgh Bowling Association leagues have now been fully updated. Our apologies that Division 2 has only just been processed but this was due to one club not submitting their scores online and having to wait until their paper copies arrived through the post. It’s a 20 second job which is easily done so if all clubs could please enter their scores online asap from now on then it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Match Result Submissions

Just a couple of points about submitting match results.

We can not adjust the leagues until BOTH teams submit their match result. This is to ensure that they match 100% and there are no discrepancies between submissions. Please submit your teams result as soon as possible after the completion of your match.

If you need to enter a result that has a ‘half’ number, please enter .5 (point 5) instead of 1/2.
For enable, 47.5 instead of 47 1/2

Thank you to the teams who were very quick in entering their results. If we all do this then this will be very successful in updating league placings.

 

Lastly, I forgot to mention at the meeting that there is a place in the site for any open competitions that your club may be having like open pairs, open triples etc. Please feel free to get in touch with me if your club is holding any of these open competitions and I will advertise them on the site for other club members to consider entering.

Meeting, May 16th

Good afternoon all,

A meeting has been arranged at Bainfield Bowling Club for 7.15pm on Tuesday 16th May 2023. Item for discussion, the New Website and scoring system,
Robbie Hendry, the web designer and admistrator will be in attendance to explain how it all works and answer any questions that may arise.

All WEBA members Committee or not are welcome to attend.

Colin.

Team withdrawal

Due to Colinton Bowling Club withdrawing a team from the 2nd Divison, with 3 days notice. A major Fixture reorganisation has had to be done resulting in all 2nd division teams having an extra night off. This situation is not ideal but it is the only solution to a problem not of the Associations making. This change will be reflected on the official website.

The West Edinburgh Bowling Association, Executive Committee wholeheartedly apologise for the inconvienience caused to all other 2nd Division teams.

And so we begin

This Friday 28th April we finally play our first matches in the 2023 West Edinburgh Bowling Association leagues. From last season, North British Distillery (NBD) have been promoted to Division 1 and Juniper Green were subsequently relegated to Division 2. We would like to welcome Beechwood Bowling Club to the leagues this season and they will start their first WEBA league game away to Sighthill BC.

Weather wise, the forecast for Friday is 11 degrees with 70% chance of showers and a 14km/h wind. We would recommend you all take some sort of protection to shield you from the elements

Good luck to all members for the forthcoming season and enjoy.

WhatsApp contact

We have a new dedicated WhatsApp number where you can contact us regarding all things WEBA related.

You can also send us your match results through this WhatsApp number in the meantime but this will cease in favour of the online results entry in the near future. We will let you know in advance of this happening. We will still need your paper copies in case there are any queries later for the moment.

We are wanting to gently break everyone in to the new system so we don’t overwhelm you with a big change.

Please add this new number to your contacts for future reference.

WEBA: 07443031841

Some New Content

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update on what we have new onsite for you.

We have added a more in-depth history of the West Edinburgh Bowling Association on our menu ‘About WEBA/History page. Go and check it out to see how the bowling association started.
We’ve also added a Galleries section in the menu where we will be uploading photos of relevant cups and tournaments from throughout the season.
Lastly, there is a ‘Past Honours’ menu item that has all past presidents and past league winners of the WEBA Leagues. Is your team on it yet? If not will your team be on it at the end of this year?

As always, please tell us if there is anything you would like to see added to the website and we’ll see what we can do.
