**CLUB UPDATE**


Following the latest Government advise, the Bowling Committee met this morning to consider the British Crown Green risk assessment guidelines regarding opening the green for practice. As we cannot meet all the requirements at this time, it was agreed that the green remain closed until further details are released. The next stage of the exit road map is planned for early June, at which time we will look at the requirements/possibilities again.


The green and clubhouse remain closed with no access until further notice.


Thank you for your patience. STAY SAFE 🙂

It is with great sadness, we've been informed Keith Mcsloy passed away last night after a battle with cancer 😔

He did so much for bowls, especially the Monday night social league, he will be missed by many. 🏆

**UPDATE**

The green will remain closed until further notice. No admittance is permitted at all, on the green or in the clubhouse, so please don't come anywhere near.

We will keep you updated when and if anything changes.

STAY SAFE 🙂

This is the OFFICIAL Statement from BCGBA we will keep you all updated as to what is happening going forward as soon as we know.

Tonights pre season meeting is cancelled until further notice.

To County Secretaries, Management and Officers, Leagues and Members.

Following the Government announcement this afternoon it is with great sadness that we now have to suspend all bowling for the foreseeable future.

Based on the advice announced we need to avoid all mass gatherings and sporting event should be suspended.

If anyone within your household has symptoms then the whole family need to isolate for 14 days.

Limit social contact wherever possible and encourage working from home.

At risk groups - those over 70 and those with medical conditions need to take additional care.

All BCGBA meetings should now be postponed as un-necessary travel should be avoided. Contact in Pubs, Clubs and restaurants to be avoided.

Taking this all into account all leagues should now suspend matches until such time as we are given an all clear to resume competition.

All BCGBA and BCGLCC Competitions are now suspended until further notice this should include all qualifier events.

As a Bowls community we need to look after our members and I encourage you to follow the advice being given and support those we are able to at this very difficult time.

I will add links onto the website / face-book as these are updated.

Please take care of yourself and stay safe.

On behalf of the Management Committee BCGBA
Chris Hasselby (BCGBA Chairman)
Mark Bircumshaw (CEO)
