Affiliation Model Review
Affiliation Fees, together with grants and sponsorships, underpin the financial operations of Bowls SA, and impact how and what we can provide to members, Clubs, Associations and the sport. At the 2021 AGM, Bowls SA Board stated it was committed to reviewing the current Affiliation Model, which was introduced in 2017/18 and we are now in the process of reviewing the model, and we are seeking clubs thoughts and feedback.
We are committed to being transparent in this process and we value your feedback on the models proposed so that we can ensure all views are considered when working up the final model.
How will the review be done?
We will be undertaking the following approach for the review:
| Feb | Discussion paper and different model options developed |
| 11 March | This Discussion Paper, along with club specific data and Benefits of Affiliation Document circulated to Clubs/Associations for feedback. This information has been posted to all clubs on 11 March. |
| 22 March & 28 March | Affiliation Review Information Sessions open to all Clubs and Associations to answer any questions. Details and registration information below. |
| 11 April at 9 am | Feedback from Clubs and Associations due to Bowls SA via the form below. |
