EBC DRESS CODE

As announced at the 2025 AGM, the Club has updated its dress code:

Shoes: To avoid the risk of contamination or other damage to the grass, street shoes (i.e  shoes used to travel to/from the Club or to/from matches with other clubs) are not to be worn on the Green. Only flat-soled sports shoes may be worn. If in doubt as to the suitability of your shoes, please refer to the President, Captain or a Club Coach for guidance. The Club strongly recommends that members purchase shoes specifically described as bowling shoes. Members must undertake to restrict their use of any such shoes to playing bowls.

Mufti (defined as plain or ordinary clothing of members own choice, including but not limited to existing grey/white bowlswear): Will apply to informal roll-ups between members & Club roll-ups (Tuesday evening/Wednesday afternoon).

White top & grey skirt/trousers/shorts: Will apply to Friday Night League & the early rounds of Club Knock-out competitions.

Club White top (EBC badged) & grey skirt/trousers/shorts: Will apply to friendly midweek matches against other clubs.

Club White top (EBC badged) & white skirt/trousers/shorts: Will apply to:

• Finals Day of Club Knock-out competitions,
• Weekend/Bank Holiday Club tournaments (excluding ‘Fun Day’),
• friendly weekend matches against other clubs and League/Cup matches against other clubs:

(NB. A white shirt & Club tie may be an alternative to a Club shirt. Blazers are not obligatory, but members may wear them on formal occasions (eg Finals Day, or matches against other clubs) if they so wish.

The Committee would welcome any comments from members on the dress code.
