DEADLINE set for Summer League Entries

Stamford Indoor Bowls Club has set a deadline of Saturday, April 17 for individuals or teams interested in participating in its summer leagues, which are due to start on Monday, May 17 (6.30pm) subject to guidelines set by the game's governing body, the English Indoor Bowling Association.

League secretary John Holroyd says the leagues - on Monday and Friday evenings, Tuesday lunchtime (1pm) and Wednesday mornings (10 am) - are filling up but there are still some places available, whether for paid-up individuals or those forming teams of at least three to play in pairs (Tuesday) or triples formats, with bowlers wearing masks and socially distanced.

Those who have not already committed but wish to take part as individuals or as a team should contact the league secretary by phone (01780 752660 or 07531 989500) or by email at bowls@holroydstructural.co.uk immediately.

The club will also be hosting roll-up sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings (from 10am to noon) and it is planned that these must be pre-booked through the club's online system (www.stamfordindoorbowls.co.uk/diary/leagues) or call 01780 756452 once the club re-opens on May 17.

Saturday morning sessions will also resume from May 22 (10am) and bowlers who have started coaching sessions are also encouraged to book online. There may also be spare rinks for social bowling.

FOOTNOTE: Members who received an unauthorised 'Urgent' email message purporting to be from the club are urged to delete it unopened. It is a scam and has been dealt with by the club.
