The South East corner adjacent the shed and in the South Western corner adjacent the green shed (see Addendum A for images).

Venue hire patrons must adhere to this Policy.

It is the obligation and responsibility of all club members to remind all bowlers, volunteers, officials, staff and spectators of this Policy and to ask that they extinguish their cigarette or move to the designated smoking area.

2.2 Breaches of the Policy – Reporting and Resolution

If a person persists in breaching the policy, the breach may be reported to the Executive and the CLGBC through its administrative committee members who reserve the right to further investigate the matter and make decisions in relation to the breach in accordance with the Code of Conduct and the Complaints and Grievances Policy and Procedure of the club.

If required the matter can also be referred to the Bowls SA.

The CLGBC has a no tolerance policy in regards to a person entering the premises with illegal drugs or a person deemed to be affected by illegal drugs. In such cases a person will be asked to leave or be escorted from the property and questioned about safe journey home arrangements.
