MARKET OVERTON BOWLS  CLUB RECOMMENCES bowling 18th May 2020 

Well we are back on the green albeit in  restricted circumstances. Thanks to Jeannie, Jack and Brian who

have been looking after our special piece of turf.  I am sure you will be happy to be bowling again.

There are lots of restrictions of course as you would expect - Covid 19 has not gone away. 

All members and Associates were advised of our plans this week.

No more than 4 bowlers on the green at any one time, and two on a rink.

Slots must be booked prior to arrival by contacting the Secretary.

The Committee have thought long and hard how to achieve a safe environment for our members and therefore

there are lots of do's and don'ts all of which have been carefully explained.

The weather has been brilliant during this lockdown so it will be great to be able to use our exercise time back on the green.

Unfortunately the Stamford League is abandoned for the year and our special plans for celebrating 75 years

have also been spoilt. The virtual VE day was fun and we have tried via email to keep you amused.

As soon as we have more changes we will advise. But at least we have an opportunity for those able to enjoy a game.

As the Government relax the restrictions the Committee will adapt the arrangements.
