26 BOWLS SA GUIDELINES FOR OFFICIAL BOWLS FUNCTION. The purpose of these notes is to inform Clubs of the correct procedure and protocol to be observed on official occasions when the Representative of Bowls SA has been invited to be present at a function. On all such occasions it is emphasised that the State Representative takes precedence over all other guests, including local officials, parliamentary and Civic Representatives. When the date of a function is fixed, a written invitation to the Representative should be forwarded to the Secretary of Bowls SA as far in advance as possible. The invitation should state the nature of the function, date, time and place. A reply will be sent by the State Secretary, indicating in the case of acceptance, whether the Representative will be attending personally, or if not, her representative. If possible, reserved parking space should be available and the Representative of the State should be met at the entrance of the Club and escorted to the Green and Clubhouse. (by the Host President and her Secretary). The Representative s flag should be flown below the Australian flag, if on the same flagpole. If two flagpoles are used, the Australian flag should be flown on the more prominent. The Official team includes the State Representative playing opposite the Club President. In calling the cards for play, that of the Official representatives and their opponents should be called first and etiquette requires that their match should be played on a central rink. At the afternoon or high tea, the following is given as a lead to the table arrangements for functions to which distinguished guests may be invited. This example of arrangement may serve to cover the normal extent of the needs of most Bowling Clubs. It should be noted that the State Representative having first guest precedence, is seated on the right of the Club President and then other guests in line with Club policy on precedence. All present remain standing until the Host President and the official guests are seated. If desired, Grace is sung or recited. If toasts are to be proposed, the Toast of the Day is that of The Queen, usually proposed by the Club President or Senior Officer. (Not used at Openings) A toast to Bowls SA is usually proposed by the Club President. The response to the toast is made by the State Representative, who during her response, introduces her Official team, if with her, and makes any presentation of Bannerettes or badges. (Not used at Openings) At the conclusion of the function the Host President rises and escorts the visiting guest of honour to the door and farewells her. The Host President remains at the door until all guests have left. PROTOCOL State Officers. It is customary when State Officers are in attendance at an official function to present them with a gift when presentations are being made. Protocol also dictates that a small gift be place in their motel rooms before they arrive. State Officers include State President, Executive Members, Councillor and Assistant Councillors. Page 26
