Dear All,
Could I suggest that - in order to be as up-to-date as possible on what is happening in England in relation to outdoor lawn bowls, for yourself and for your clubs - you put the following Web address amongst your Web browser 'Favourites' : https://www.bowlsengland.com/news-items/ This is actually the 'News' page for the Bowls England Web site. This currently includes some of the items and documents that I have previously forwarded to clubs and to GBA Officers/Officials, but also some other currently-interesting stuff relating to the Covid-19 coronavirus.
In general, if you retain it once the Covid-19 has run its course, this Web page will always have at the top the most recent and most significant news items, plus [running down the page] main news items going backwards over many months.
By way of example, and highly current, the very recent news item titled 'Coronavirus (COVID-19) Frequently Asked Questions - 23rd March, 2020' has some useful references to such things as : 1) whether clubs and greens are allowed to be open just now 2) greens maintenance at present 3) what events have and have not been cancelled 4) Entry fees for National Competitions 5) Champion of Champion entries in 2021 6) Coach Bowls 7) Play Bowls, and lots more.
In relation to (2) above, I recognise that this is a matter of crucial importance to clubs, and have written to Bowls England already this, in fact also written to Bristol City Council about lack of maintenance on parks greens. I hope to have something more on both of these, in the next few days.
Regards,
Lindsay, County Administrator
