COVID-19 - NEWS
Everyone's club membership has been extended to the end of the 2020 season
We now have permission to open the bowls club under very strict conditions which MUST be adhered to by all who book to play at the club. From Saturday 11th July 2020, the green will be open to members and these conditions are:
1 - You will be able to book a session up to a week in advance using the online tool (contact the club secretary for more information) . No more than 6 players to a rink. These sessions are:
Monday – Friday 2.00pm – 3.45pm / 4.00pm – 5.45pm / 6.00pm – 7.45pm
Saturday – Sunday 10.00am – 11.45am / 12.00pm – 1.45pm /2.00pm – 3.45pm / 4.00pm – 5.45pm / 6.00pm – 7.45pm
2 - We ask for a rink fee of £3.00 per person, per session, due to no membership fees having been paid. This will be cash in an envelope (envelope supplied) and placed in an honesty box, which will be just inside the ladies changing room. You will have to write names and session time on the envelope.
3 - Players to arrive no more than ten minutes before their session. This allows the previous players to vacate the club. You can hang around away from the main through-fare but must respect the 1-2meter distancing within the club grounds. So as to avoid locking/unlocking the gate one person should wait at the club until the next session players arrive. The last and first session players are responsible for opening and locking the gates.
4 - Players may come in casual attire and only change shoes at the club. The changing rooms will not be open
for use.
5 - Collect the 2 jacks, mats and a score card from just inside the Ladies changing room. Only one player from each team must be designated to place the jacks and mats to avoid cross contamination (Jacks can be rolled but adjusted the other end by a bit of good footwork). At the end of each session you must place the mats and jacks back having wiped down with the bacterial wipes provided and both players are to use the hand
sanitisers.
6 - Everyone MUST keep to the social distancing of 1-2 meters, both on the green and off. This will not apply to those who are living within the same family household.
7 - We will use a system of rolling rinks. ie: rinks 1/3/5 then 2/4/6. You will be notified of your rink number upon booking.
8 - Up to 12 visitors/spectators to be admitted to the club (with the exception of 1 committee member, for checking on sanitisers, collecting green fees, etc). You are allowed to bring any drink/food on site. You are responsible for taking away all your waste.
9 - Only two sessions midweek and two on weekends can be played by any member. This allows for a fair balance of slots for all.
10 - The clubhouse and changing rooms will not be open for general use. We will aim to have a limited bar open. This will work by you requesting your drinks at the clubhouse door. These will be brought to you at the door. Pay and collect. The only person allowed into the club will be the bar steward and steward on duty.
11 - The toilets will be open but try to keep the social distance. Please wash your hands.
