THE WAY FORWARD     The Board of Directors March 2021. 

We hope you have all kept safe and you have received your first vaccine jab. 

The Board of Directors have carried out the March review as we promised, on the way forward for our club after the Lockdown, the Governments cautious advice is that Indoor Bowls Clubs can consider opening on no earlier than 12th April 2021 with very few people allowed into the club with the Bar and Restaurant barred from opening,  then with more caution on no earlier than 17th May 2021 clubs will be allowed to continue with similar restrictions to most of last year, including the enhanced Fresh Air requirements, the social distancing with masks and the limited people from limited households allowed on limited rinks. The Bar and Restaurant can only offer table service with no members allowed to approach the Bar or Restaurant service hatch. This, The Board feels demonstrates that the Government are reminding us all, that safety is limited in an indoor setting if any of the guidelines are breached.  

The Board has considered what the Government have said, especially taking account of our membership age profile, and what the Government are aiming for the Country at no earlier than the 21st June 2021, which is, that all legal limits on social contact will be removed and Indoor Bowls can return to normal, we feel that this is by far the safest option, and we have also considered that there is a very good chance that all of us will have had our second vaccine jab by then. If the Government keeps to the roadmap it has set for the Country and Indoor Bowls Clubs, and are not forced to impose new restrictions, then The Board will be able to consider the Club secure and our members defended, then we will plan to open our club on that date and offer a full SAFE service to all our members, including Bar, Restaurant and all Six Rinks with no restrictions. We will, and we encourage you all keep an eye on the current advice that the Government has for getting everything back to normal on the 21st June 2021, and if that doesn’t change, we will look forward to seeing you all then.  In our next post, we will post any up-to-date information for members to return to bowls and use the facilities of the club. 

All the best and please stay safe.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECEMBER 2020

The Board of Directors would like to thank the many of you who have expressed their support for us throughout the year. As you all know our primary concern and responsibility has been to keep everyone safe, especially as most of all of us are in the At-Risk section of the population, many Bowls clubs have attempted to open and had a good try to keep their members safe unfortunately quite a lot of them closed soon after with cases of Covid amongst their members. Others have been lucky and Covid hasn’t found their club yet. Some have closed down forever because they could not balance their books. The Government requirement to increase constant fresh air into the Indoor Clubs to a level of 20 liters per second per person has been a particular problem for many clubs the requirement has proved impossible for some of them. Our Insurance Company in April stated that they would not cover any Covid 19 related Liability claims if we made such a claim. All the many other requirements that Bowls Clubs have to adhere to, to try and keep everyone safe, while meeting each other in our Indoor facility, has continued to make the Directors believe their responsibility to keep all of you safe must carry on by not exposing any of you to the danger of this virus. With the recent lockdowns and the Tiers now increased to a new Tier 4 for most of the South East there has been nothing in the Law/ Rules that makes us change our stance that we have taken all the way through this Nightmare. 

At last, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel with a vaccine available soon for most of us. Unfortunately, this will not alter anything for us or the club for at least another couple of months, therefore The Directors are cancelling the review we had planned for January and we now plan to review the situation in March. The Directors sincerely hope we can welcome you back to a normal Club in the very near future.

Finally, The Board of Directors and Management wish you all well and would like to wish all of you a very Happy Christmas and a healthy Covid free New Year. 

Please pass this post on to any members you have contact with who may not have social media thank you.

AGM Delay

 
Please take notice that having taken professional advice the Board of Directors has decided to put health and safety above everything else and in the interest of the Members, Staff, and Directors, they must delay the Annual General Meeting scheduled for December until further notice. 
Nobody has any idea what the Government advice for meetings will be in December, but, what we do know is the situation at this time in our country is worsening daily, the Directors take their duty of care very seriously and as the majority of us all are in the at-risk group then this is the safest option for everybody. 
As soon as we consider it safe to have a meeting, we will notify all of you the usual way by post when the new date for the AGM will be held. Please stay safe and we will see you all in 2021.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS  16 JUNE 2020

Firstly we hope you are all keeping fit and well and that you are all being looked after by your families, friends and neighbours. The Board are aware that some of the members of the club have passed away during the closedown and we send our heartfelt love and support to their Families and Friends, it may well be there are others who we are not aware of but rest assured the sentiment remains the same.

As far as the reopening of Indoor Bowls is concerned we are currently awaiting notification from the government and E.I.B.A. as to when and how Indoor Bowling becomes possible from a Health and Safety and viability level.

The probable procedure for the reopening of the club will be .

 1: Government Announcement  –  Indoor Bowls is safe to play in the numbers possible to make it viable.                                       

 2: Egerton Park Board – Reviews that decision and plans  for   the future.

3: Action going forward from that review.

The Club will not reopen immediately after a Government Announcement, this is because time must be given for the review and for the setting up of the reopening with Health and Safety, viability and organisation in mind, this will include the re introduction of the currently Furloughed Staff.

The above is not set in stone due to the restrictions that may be imposed on us by the Government and the consideration to the  viability of doing so. The situation is totally fluid therefore it makes it impossible for the Board to announce concrete proposals.

The Board truly hopes that we can open sooner rather than later but all will depend on how we can reopen, you the members rejoining in the numbers required and the pulling together of us all to get past this terrible time and head successfully into the future.

Keep safe and we hope this has helped you to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
