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.

Club Update

Following the Committee meeting yesterday, I can confirm the following :

From tomorrow, you no longer need to book a rink. We now have all 6 rinks on A and B green so it’s a first come first served basis. The booking system was great to get us back bowling and has served us well.

When you arrive for a game you will take two mats and one jack. Once you have finished your game return the jack to the green box and place your mats on the floor next to the table within the greens doors.

You will enter and leave via the front door. Please make sure you sign in when you arrive at the Club. This is very important for our track and traceability. For any visitors please make sure you add the members name who they are with.

The members lounge is set up for social distancing and this will remain at 2 metres. The members lounge seats 30 so any overspill will have to sit in the function hall, where there are tables and chairs set out.

The bar is still being covered, mainly by the Committee, so there may be times, particularly midweek afternoons, that you find the bar temporarily closed. We will try our best to cover the opening hours which remain the same as last week. Willie and Connie will cover Friday and Saturday evenings but it is Committee covering all other times for now.

Opening hours are:
Monday to Thursday – 13:30 to 20:00
Friday 13:30 to 22:00
Saturday 12:00 to 22:00
Sunday 12:00 to 18:00

We will be holding a one day confined pairs comp on Saturday 1st August. Please arrive by 10:30, add your name to the sheet and an open draw will take place for the pairs and the schedule of play. This competition is for members only.

For now the games room and upstairs will remain closed to all.

The Committee will regularly review and discuss any potential changes to the above so please have patience and understanding as we work together through these challenging times and we thank you all for your support.

We look forward to seeing many more of you returning to the Club but should anyone have any questions or concerns then please speak to a member of the Committee.
