Club Update

With the First Minister’s ‘out of lockdown’ statement on Tuesday it looks like we will be closed until late April at the earliest.
Hopefully we will be able to bowl soon but will await for instructions and guidance from the relevant authorities and will update you all on developments.

AGM – we aim to hold it as soon as it is possible to do so. Due to social distancing we may have to hold the AGM outside but will let you all know.

Club Fees – Fees will remain the same amount as last year. Can we ask for all fees to be paid by 30th June 2021.

There are a few options to pay fees:
Should you need the bank details then please contact either Davy Connelly (mob-07837838510) or John Green (mob-07984444400).
Cash or cheque can be dropped off through the Club letterbox or cheque posted to the Club.
I can arrange a meet or a visit to your home where I can pick up cash or cheque. A receipt will be given for your fees. If you prefer this option then let me know.

New Committee Members – we are looking for new additions to the Committee so if anyone is interested in joining the Committee then please contact Davy Connelly to discuss.

The Committee will be meeting after the next update from the First Minister so will update you with more information then but if you have questions then let me know.
So take care everyone and hope to see you all soon.

Following the latest government guidance in Scotland to halt the continued growth in coronavirus cases, we will sadly be closing the bar from Friday 9 October at 6pm through to Sunday 25 October. Last orders will be 5pm.

The Club will still be open during this ‘lockdown’ period for any of our members who wish to continue bowling.

We thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to seeing you all back indoors when the bar reopens.

Morning all

Following the Government announcement regarding the 22:00 curfew we will be calling last orders at 21:00 with the bar closing at 21:15 on Friday and Saturday starting this Friday. This will give the bar staff time to finish their duties before Club is closed by 22:00.

Please note these are Government rules. We have to adhere to these new rules in order to remain open.

Here is a reminder of our current opening and closing with the new times for Friday and Saturday.

Monday to Thursday 13:00 to 20:00

Friday 12:00 to 22:00 with last orders 21:00 and bar closed at 21:15.

Saturday 11:00 to 22:00 with last orders 21:00 and bar closed at 21:15

Sunday 12:00 to 20:00

Morning all

As from today it is now mandatory to wear a mask whilst moving about the Club. This is the directive given by the Government.

When you arrive at the Club make sure you are wearing your mask. Enter the Club and sign in as normal.

 

You must keep your mask on while:

Going to and from the bar

Going to and from the toilet

Going for and returning from a smoke

Going to and from the changing room

When you are seated at a table with your drink you can remove your mask.

If you are bowling you do not have to wear your mask.

The bar staff will also be wearing their mask whilst serving etc.

In addition the ‘three household rule’ has been reduced to two households with a maximum of 6 people. Tables and chairs are set out accordingly and must not be moved under any circumstances.

Please remember these are new mandatory rules direct from the Government and not us as a Club.

In addition we also encourage all members to download the track and trace app. This is available from the protect Scotland website here https://www.protect.scot/

We thank you for your understanding and support during these trying times.

Next Saturday, 1st August, we are holding our pairs competition. To get an idea of the numbers there will be sheet on the noticeboard so if you want to take part then add your name to the sheet. The sheet will be put on noticeboard at 16:00 today.

On Saturday be at the Club for 10:30. The draw will take place on Saturday at 10:45 with play to start at 11:00.
