Covid-19: Supplementary Guidance for Lawn Bowls Clubs Approved by Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)

COVID-19: SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDANCE FOR LAWN BOWLS CLUBS Issued: 2nd June

Additional Government guidance released on 1st June 2020 states:

“You can play lawn bowls where facilities have reopened, but you can only take part in these activities by yourself, or with members of your household or with no more than five other people outside of your household, as long as you are able to maintain social distancing.”.

Whilst the Government guidance now enables triples play, clubs may also wish to consider alternative formats with reduced numbers per rink – for example singles and pairs – in order for social distancing to be more easily maintained. Capping the number of occasions a player can book.

Up to six individuals from different households playing on a single rink

Clubs may wish to allow spectators, however their attendance must be in line with Government guidelines on social distancing and the ability of the club to accommodate the additional numbers Social distancing rules must be strictly adhered to; you must remain at least two metres apart from.

However:

As regards to Triples it was felt by the club that this would be a step too far at this stage, so until further notice only singles and pairs would be played.

It was felt that the club could not accommodate Spectators due to the lack of seats , benches etc, therefore any spectators should remain on the car park side of the fence.

Nothing else has changed, you still have to:

Book a rink

Practice all social distancing rules

Follow all the guidelines as set out in the Back 2 Bowls Document circulated previously

All Membership subscriptions must be paid before booking rinks.
