BowlsLink Campaign – New Data Fields
Bowls Australia has mandated additional data fields in all member records of the BowlsLink database.
New mandatory fields have been added for Member and Club records, that will help us and your Club improve communication, planning, and services for the bowls community.
Bowls Victoria will encourage Members and Clubs to complete their details via some fantastic prizes like new Henselite sets of bowls, offered weekly.
All you have to do to be eligible (takes less than 3 minutes):
- Members must complete their own six (6) compulsory fields as per below; and
- their Primary Club must complete the three (3) fields of required information.
This encourages Members and Clubs to work together to keep records accurate and up to date.
Required Member information
Members will be asked to confirm their:
- title (e.g. Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss etc)
- first name and surname
- email and mobile number
- date of birth
- address
- occupation (from a drop-down list). If you are no longer working, please select the role that best describes your most significant career role.
Campaign and prizes
To incentivise our members, a weekly prize draw will begin the week of 1 July and run for several weeks.
Eligible Members can win a brand-new set of Henselite bowls* (valued at between $650-$750) and their Club will also win a brand-new set of Henselite bowls* to be used at their discretion.
As a major prize at the end of the campaign, one small Club and one large Club with the highest percentage of completed Member records will each have the chance to win a 75″ television, thanks to Bowls Victoria.
What Members need to do:
- log in to their BowlsLink profile
- review their information
- complete the new compulsory fields
What Clubs need to do
- log in to their Club profile
- complete Office Bearer details (President, Secretary, Treasurer)
- encourage Members to update their information
If you or your Club need support and guidance throughout the campaign, please contact the Bowls Victoria Office on (03) 9861 7100.
Why this matters:
Accurate information helps Bowls Victoria and your Club to:
- provide better communication and support
- share relevant opportunities and information
- improve planning and decision-making
- maintain stronger connections with Members
How to update records

From the menu:
- Select Edit Profile
- Open both the Key Details and Personal Information tabs
- Complete the required fields
- Select Update at the bottom of each section
(will take less than 3 minutes)
Remember, prize draws commence the week of 1 July, and both the Member and Club record need to be updated to be eligible to win.
