Rink Booker – Bowls Australia announcement
Bowls Australia announcement
Bowls Australia (BA) has today launched Rink Booker, a new online rink booking system to allow clubs to manage player numbers according to their relevant COVID-19 restrictions. Rink Booker is one component of BA’s COVID-19: Return to Bowls Plan which will give clubs the ability to book certain amounts of people per green at specific times.
The booking system is available at no cost to any club and has been integrated into the current BowlsLink club websites. The development of Rink Booker originates as a result of requests from clubs looking for such a system. Available through BowlsLink’s club website feature, more than 500 clubs around Australia will currently have access to the system. The added function to the website will take less than 30 minutes for a club administrator to set up details such as rink numbers and times available for bookings.
Rink Booker is easy to use and once bowlers make their bookings, they are sent a confirmation email and a calendar becomes viewable to club administrators to show them what rinks have been booked at any one time. A user guide (PDF) is available from Bowls Australia to enable the set-up of Rink Booker. With some further development over the course of the coming months, Rink Booker will be updated to include options for social and barefoot bowls bookings.
If you require any assistance with this please contact the Bowls Australia Regional Bowls Manager Alan Eadie (aeadie@bowls.com.au) and he can help you get setup.
