HORNSEA AND DISTRICT INDOOR BOWLS CLUB

CLUB SITUATION UPDATE (Covid19)

We are moving into Tier 2

12:01am Saturday 31/10/2020

As planned;

the Friday Night League

will go ahead (30/10)

but all Leagues from

Monday (02/11)

are unfortunately cancelled

until further notice.

Social Bowling shall now take place 

Monday to Friday

and the schedule is as follows:

9am – 10:30am SOCIAL BOWLING

10:30am – 11am CLOSED FOR CLEANING

11am – 1pm SOCIAL BOWLING

1:30pm CLOSED

Please book quickly to avoid disappointment

As before, rinks must be booked at least 24 hours in advance

but please now be aware of the above schedule

calls can only be taken between the hours of 9am and 1pm.

(Tel: 01964 537776)

Only the same household or support bubble can share a rink

and singles are more than welcome to play on one rink alone.

We don’t want to turn anyone away in these difficult times

and we understand how important it is to be socialising;

especially if you live alone. 

So we will try and accommodate as many of our members as we can,

but please understand that

safety is paramount

and we must adhere to the rules.

Just to clarify:

A support bubble is a close support network

between a household with only one adult in the home

(known as a single-adult household)

and one other household of any size.

Once you’re in a support bubble,

you can think of yourself as being in a single household

with people from the other household.

People in a support bubble can have close contact when they visit each other,

stay overnight, and visit public places together.

We as a Club are devastated at this turn of events,

as we have worked so hard to ensure the Club is a safe place to spend time. 

However, we realise how fortunate we are to stay open in these trying times

and we will continue to do our absolute utmost to keep the Club clean and sterilised,

but also warm and welcoming.

Thank you so much for all your support over the last few months….

we need your help more than ever now!

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.
