Message to Members from Ken Jupp:

From Monday 1 March the Green Team will be working at RBC on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings until the normal season start date of 2nd/3rd week in April. The team will be working as before in 3 bubbles of 2 persons per bubble. This leaves Monday and Thursday available if we need extra time. If we need extra time we will keep all parties informed.

No one else should be at the club on work days without the agreement of the Green Team.

The Club’s Emergency Team (Directors/Captains/Green Team) are scheduled to meet via Zoom on 8th March to discuss arrangements for next season. It is not clear if Bowls England guidelines will be available by then but a further announcement to members will be made shortly after this meeting.

RBC Members may be assured that our 2021 affiliation has been registered with Bowls Surrey together with our entries for Surrey County Competitions. Thanks go to Anne Currie for her hard work on this.

We deeply regret to inform members that Gwen died in East Surrey Hospital on Wednesday 30th December 2020. She had been admitted into hospital on Saturday 19th December with pneumonia. Whilst there and in her weakened state from her heart condition she succumbed to the Coronavirus.

Gwen joined Redhill BC with husband Roy from Battlebridge BC after it closed in 2006. She stopped bowling outdoors several years ago but continued to play short mat until she injured her shoulder in a fall in the Clubhouse.

Our sincere condolences go to Roy at this sad time.
