The BCGBA and the Bowling Development Alliance (BDA) have developed a new self-analysis tool called the Club Health Checker. This is for the use of all clubs to undertake a current Health Check and suggest improvements that can be made to improve the standing and stability of your club.
What is the Club Health Checker?
The Club Health Checker is a free, online self-assessment tool that will identify the challenges faced by your bowls club and highlights areas for targeted growth. Through the completion of a 30-minute questionnaire a customised report is created which offers resources and suggestions on how to improve the clubs’ areas of development.
It is recommended that clubs use this resource at least once a year to help measure their baseline participation, growth, and impact. The Club Health Checker is available to all clubs affiliated to the BDA partnership, National Governing Bodies which include the British Crown Green Bowling Association.
The Club Health Checker is not a ‘Pass or Fail’ assessment but rather a tool to help club members assess the current condition of the club and identify areas for development. The report is as accurate as the information you input, and to ensure that the report reflects your club’s position, it is important to answer the assessment honestly.
The BCGBA recommend that the Club Health Checker is completed as a committee due to the information required to complete the assessment. To ensure your club’s continued development and health, they also recommend using the Club Health Checker on an annual basis.
