Return To Bowls Plan – Windang Bowling Club
HELLO BOWLERS!
Welcome Back.
It won’t be long now! We’ve missed our old mates, well some of us have, and we’ve missed that refreshing sound, smell and most of all, the taste of freshly poured beer out of a tap after (and during) the game we love. It’ll be great to get back on the green with our mates.
It looks like our Club is scheduled to open on Monday 11th Oct. Unfortunately the greens will remain closed for a short period as we develop our Reopen Plan. This should give us the opportunity to address concerns involved with vaccination issues, staffing levels, customer levels, and opening and closing times……and the list goes on. Only then we can be confident that we will be able to provide the staff and the services for the enjoyment of our members and guests. We thank you for your patience and co-operation as we go through this period together.
Below is a plan for the first two weeks after we open. The greens will be closed for four days followed by rollups and practice for three days. The Match Committee will have a meeting to discuss all things bowls on Tuesday 12th Oct. Online entries will be open on Wednesday 13th Oct for Social bowls commencing on Wednesday 20th October. As I write this post, the restrictions were set to 20 people per green. We’ll have three greens available so we can only have 60 people at a time. This figure could change any time so this means that initially, Social Bowls will be for members of Windang Bowling Club only.
The Match Committee will discuss formats and times etc during the meeting. The plan will then be updated to suit.
*Decision on Club Championship schedule for remainder of 2021 will be made during Board Meeting Tues 19th Oct.
