Regular monthly meetings are held at 7.30 p.m. at: Balmoral Bowls Club, Jean Howie Drive, Morningside.

For senior competitions, competitors to submit two of each tune type and play one.
After each competition, the floor will be open for all as at a Pipers’ Night.
The aim is to start meetings at 7.30pm (7.15pm for a 7.30pm start) to allow an earlier finish/more piping/more social time at the end of the meeting. Junior competitions are to start promptly and finish by 8.30pm.
In addition we are looking at having special meetings on weekends or another night of the week to enable others to attend.
