New Season – IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

We are delighted to say the new season is up and running! We look forward to seeing you all over the next few weeks particularly if you were unable to attend last year. Needless to say we have guidelines and rules to adhere to as we come out of lockdown which our club has been putting in place over the winter months. Please help us to help you so we can all stay safe and enjoy a great season of bowls.

The season is mainly divided into two halves following the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown. The first half is from April 24^th to 21^st June when rules regarding playing and socialising are in place. The second half is from June 21^st to September 31^st when all rules are expected to be lifted and things are ‘back to normal’ if things go well with the pandemic measures.    

We will keep you posted of all developments via all our social media outlets so please keep checking our Facebook and website pages for our latest information in this fluid period. In the meantime  Click Here to go to our own roadmap to read once again and familiarise yourself with it; if you have any queries please speak to your club committee members who will be happy to help.

Our Website Update – Coming Soon

This unusual past year has given us the chance to modernise our website and keep ourselves at the forefront of providing good clear and attractive information to all users. 

We have created a cleaner design using more imagery, consistent colour, better use of headings and less text to get over our message. We have also re categorised pages, changed titles and cleared dated information to aid better navigation.

Whilst some pages have seen little change others have been completely re designed or added as new. As the new year progresses we will maintain flexibility in adding further pages and archiving old pages if dated or unused.  To read more …… Click Here 

 

Bowls England –  Latest Advice for Bowling Clubs in 2021

Their latest guidance document, issued on 10th May 2021, is in pdf format – the full document can be viewed here.  The key information in Step 3 of the four step process is contained in pages 4 to 8 of that document – step 3 covers the early part of our playing season and our Committee is considering very strongly how this impacts on our bowls and social activities. You can be assured that our activities will be fully compliant with Government and Bowls England regulations and guidance in force at the time.  

***We haven’t endured the previous 15 month restrictions to throw those sacrifices away through irresponsibility!!***

May 2021 1st prize – Pat Ringwood (58) 2nd prize – Corinne Little (80) 3rd prize – Lesley Drake (138) Lesley Brown carried out this draw at home (with David’s help) using an official random number generator  web-site. She took a screen photo of the numbers drawn and sent copies of that to our Treasurer and Secretary;  she will forward a copy to anyone on request. This will be the method used by Lesley until we are able to re-open the Clubhouse and resume social activities; she hopes that this will be for the June 2021 draw!. You can help the club through these difficult times by either joining the 100 Club or taking extra numbers: £1 per number per month. A big thank you to those club members who have increased their holdings and also to our one new subscriber –  17 more numbers this month.  50% of subscriptions is returned in Prize Money and 50% goes into Club Funds; 1st prize is currently £56, 2nd prize £28 and 3rd prize £13.50. “More subscriptions – bigger prize money  & You have to be in it to win it!”  Interested?
