GETTING BACK TO INDOOR BOWLS
Post date: Jun 23, 2020 5:14:42 PM
The EIBA has today made the following statement:
"Following the Prime Minister’s statement earlier today on the next steps of easing the lockdown I wish to advise that unfortunately Indoor Bowls, along with other Indoor Sports and Gyms, were not included in the permitted activities. Therefore, Indoor Bowls Clubs are to remain closed. The EIBA will continue to liaise with Sport England as they work closely with the Government to ensure that Indoor sports facilities can open as soon as possible.
In addition, we will be studying the Government’s guidance, when published, relating to the new social distancing of 1 metre plus, so that we can update our ‘Returning to Indoor Bowls’ document so that Clubs can continue to make appropriate preparations for when the sport can re-commence."
At Stamford whilst we are pleased that the level of Covid 19 infections has decreased from the peak a week or so ago we presently remain closed and as above, do not know when we will be able to reopen or what we may be required to put in place in order to be able to do so.
We appreciate many people may be a little wary about returning to bowls to soon and appreciate this. We also believe that to make it easier for you to return you would wish us to take sensible precautions to protect our members.
The Directors and Management Committee are meeting virtually regularly and are considering what measures we can take to safeguard our members.
However, we would now appreciate your input into this and ask that all complete a short survey to give us your concerns views on how you feel and what concerns you may have over the measures being considered.
