Returning to Indoor Bowls

Following the Prime Minister’s statement earlier today (31st July 2020) the EIBA wishes to advise you that flat green Indoor Bowls Clubs, if they wish, are still able to be open. Indoor Bowls was included in the indoor sports which were permitted to start on Saturday 25th July 2020.

The Government has taken the decision to postpone the next phase of activities which were scheduled to start on 1st August 2020, this included 10 pin bowling alleys, for at least a further two weeks.

Therefore Clubs can continue with their scheduled activities, whilst maintaining systems to ensure the Club is COVID-19 secure.

Yours sincerely

Peter Thompson
Chief Executive

Buy Your Rink Tokens Before You Bowl

  By

Hopefully you will have heard the great news that we are able to have you back to bowl from Monday 3rd August.

If you wish to bowl next week (please see the booking sysytem for availablity) you MUST come in this week to buy your tokens and collect your bowls. Please phone the club to book your time slot to come in. If you would like to have a drink or something to eat when you buy your tokens, then you will need to book a table online.

If you would normally bowl within a booked rink, these have been booked out on the system already and your Rink Captain will be contacted seperately this week and be given the new schedule so they can sort out their bowling rota in accordance with the guidelines.

You will receive a letter this week by post with the Covid-19 club guidelines.

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Michelle

Phased Re-Opening of Club

  By ,

We are pleased to advise you that we will be opening the Restaurant and Bar from Monday 27th July, but you must book a table using the new online booking system to gain entry to the Club. We are still not allowed to open the rinks for bowling until the guidelines from EIBA have been clarified.

We recently launched our new Online Booking system. This will enable Registered Club members to pre book a restaurant table or bar table from the comfort of your home so you can come in to the Club from 27th July.

So far we have had over 200 Log ins to the system.

During last week every Club Member for whom we have an email address on file will have received two emails from My Clubhouse advising them of their USER NAME and how to set their own PASSWORD. If you have not yet followed the instructions to log in please action this as soon as possible. If you have not seen these emails check your inbox and spam folder and email the Club at email hidden; JavaScript is required.  if you can’t find them. We encourage Members to book a table and come to the Club to see the changes we’ve made to make it Covid 19 secure.

Our policy going forward will be that all purchases will be made by debit or credit card only to remove the risk of infection when handling cash. We will also be selling batches of tokens which must be used for rink fee payments when bowling restarts. This is to minimise delays. Once used the tokens will be stored for 3 days before being put on sale again

Thank you for your support and patience during this transitional period. We are working hard to make the return to bowling as safe, easy and as enjoyable as we can.

Best wishes

Derek Spiller
