Congratulations Nicky Mackay

Congratulations to Nicky Mackay who won the Sighthill Ladder 2020 competition.

Nicky and Robbie Hendry played today what was a terrific final. Nicky led 3-0 before Robbie fought back to level at 3-3. Nicky then furthered his lead to 5-3 but again Robbie fought back to level once more at 5-5.

The final end was close but Nicky edged it to win 6-5.

A thoroughly enjoyable final and Nicky has promised to buy every member a drink 🤣, ….ok, maybe not.

Further Guidance

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.

22:00 curfew

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

Mandatory masks in club

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.
