RETURN TO INDOOR BOWLING
Hello Everyone and Thank You for your patience and understanding during closure.
It is the time of year to renew your indoor bowling membership. Membership fees have not been increased and your Renewal Form has been emailed to you. We look forward to your continued support of your Club and welcoming you back. Since lockdown back in March, we have been working to maintain the building and completing risk assessments to make it safe and secure for our members to return. The July bulletin gave you some details of the changes implemented and we are regularly reviewing guidance we receive from the controlling body of the EIBA and the Government. If you have any questions or concerns about returning to bowling indoors please email the club or come and speak to a club officer so that we can assist. Stewards will be on duty when you first return, to help you.
We are pleased to say that we will be starting to gradually open our indoor green for casual roll ups from Tuesday 8 September. New formats will be introduced to ensure social distancing on the green as well as arriving for play and moving around the indoor green and the Club house.
Indoor green initial opening times:
Tuesdays and Fridays and Sundays*
Session times:
Tuesday and Fridays - 9.30am – 11.30am / 12.00 – 2.00pm / 2.30pm – 4.30pm / 6pm – 8pm
Sundays 10-12, 12.30-2.30 and 6-8pm*
Triples, pairs and singles will be available to book.
Please ring 07377 993179 between 9am – 12 noon to book a rink
Subject to demand, we will consider extending these times. Further volunteers for stewards would be welcomed, so please contact Hilary Sharpe if you would like to help.
Do not come to the Club if you have any COVID19 signs such as high temperature or fever, persistent cough or respiratory problems or have been in contact with any possible source.
Arrival at the club
When bowling, please wear a face mask, unless there is a medical reason you cannot. We will review this requirement regularly.
Changing rooms will not be in use
Lockers You will be able to access your locker, by the one-way system in place. Please follow the arrows you will see on the floor.
Toilets will be open for use, one person at a time. Signs are in place to remind everyone. Outer doors are propped open to avoid the need to use the handles.
Hand sanitiser It is essential that you wash your hands after using equipment and regularly sanitise your hands. There is an automatic hand sanitiser at the entrance to the club alongside where you show your card for entrance, also in the toilet facilities. The disabled toilet will have a bottle of hand sanitiser in situ. There will also be hand sanitiser bottles on the rink tables.
Rink fees Please bring the exact money for your green fees as there will be limited cash available and to reduce the need to handle cash. At present we cannot accept payment for rink fees by card.
Bar The bar is open Tuesday and Friday evenings, and Sunday lunchtime. Full
details can be found on the website.
Catering Our caterer Martin will be opening limited times – see his board for details and also on our website. A one-way system will be in operation to reach the kitchen hatch order point - please follow the directional arrows.
Spectators and visitors will be allowed but they must be at least a social member and abide by the Club COVID19 rules and also enter their name and contact number on the daily list to enable track and trace.
We are currently looking into having an online booking and payment system for indoor bowling and obtaining equipment to enhance our safety measures, so we will keep you advised. We assure you that the safety of our members is paramount and we will continue working to ensure you can safely bowl indoor.
Please help us to keep the club premises safe for all our members and observe social distancing measures
Thank you for your support - the Management Team and Indoor Committee look forward to welcoming you back to indoor bowling
All our plans will be subject to change, depending on the prevailing advice
from the Government
Our newsletters and communications are sent via email. Due to the workload to hand deliver newsletters and the cost of postage, we will not be sending out paper copies of newsletters. If you are aware of a fellow bowler you play with who does not get emails, we would be grateful if you could encourage them to contact the office with their email address.
