HORNSEA AND DISTRICT INDOOR BOWLS CLUB

CLUB SITUATION UPDATE (Covid19)

We are in LOCKDOWN from

Wednesday 04/11/2020 @ 1pm

New Club Operations

Issued by the Club Directors 28^th September 2020

Club operations have been severely affected by the implications of Covid.  The following measures have been introduced to ensure members safety, and the Clubs on-going viability.

Restrictions

Entry into the Club and bowling activities are all based on EIBA recommendations. Please adhere to the posted rules.

Six-lane bowling is still permitted but with restrictions to ensure social distancing is maintained.

The Bowls Committee will monitor compliance within the playing area; and implement any amendments required in changing circumstances.

Leagues / Competitions

Winter Leagues commence on Monday 28^th September.  Members have been surveyed regarding their willingness to participate in a League Programme.

The Leagues are now published, but these may be subject to amendment as members’ views and willingness to bowl may change.  We really appreciate your patience at this difficult time.  All internal / County / National Competitions for the 2020 / 2021 season have unfortunately been cancelled.

Ventilation System

A new ventilation system has been installed for the start of the Winter League Season to ensure player safety.  Fresh air will now be constantly introduced into the playing area to the recommended EIBA standard. 

This is major and necessary expenditure of the Club’s capital.

Bar / Catering

The function room has been indefinitely closed, due to the reduced number of bowling seasons / players and the cessation of other club’s activities. (ie: bridge, dancing, catering, functions etc)

In these circumstances there has been no alternative but to make the bar and catering staff redundant.  The Directors have reluctantly taken this decision and thank Carole, Linda, and Sandra for their contributions to the Club over the years. 

Tea / coffee facilities will now only be available via the machines provided.

Financial Future

The Club is now in a ‘survival’ situation while the pandemic continues.

As a non-profit making Club, owned by the members, we rely on members’ subs and playing fees to pay overheads (staff, utilities, maintenance etc).  Members are therefore encouraged to renew their membership for 2020 / 2021 even if not bowling in order to ensure our ongoing viability.  We would not wish the Club to close, as others have and will.
