Hints and tips on using the website

Use these tips in conjunction with trying out the menu system. you will need to press the back button top left to get back to this screen.

Top  menu

Click on the top menu heading to see a sub menu pop up below.

 Sub Menus

Having clicked on the top menu, these sub headings again show you either:

• a list of pages in that category as in Competition details or
• a page within that category as in Members

You will also see a list of pages on the right side bar. The list on the right will remain all the time you are in that category.  For example - you are looking at the Brindle Cup rules and you have a quick link on the right to all the other rules.

Left Side Bar

This contains a list of direct links to other bowling websites and to useful pages for member and visitors.

The left and  right sidebars are  not available when viewing calendars due to their width.

Right Side Bar

The right side bar on the home page shows a list of the latest updates. On other pages it show pages related to the one you are  currently looking at.

Footers

At the bottom of the main page, you will see several footer boxes. These contain general information for potential visitors as well as members.

Notification Bar

This runs along the bottom of the screen. When a new message is added the colour changes to notify you of something different. You can clost the bar with the arrow on the far right. You can pause it by clicking anywhere except a link which is underlined. Then you can use the arrow that appear either side to manually scroll through the messages.

On a mobile phone

The right and left side bars you see on a larger screen, are shown underneath the main content on a smaller screen.  In addition, the menu bar at the top, doesn't fit and therefore doesn't show. There is a small word Menu and a hand pointer at the top left corner. A touch on this should open the menu

Follow these instructions to make a shortcut on your desktop that in future you can just click on.
