With no draught beer or cider on in the bar we are generating large amounts of recyclable material at present. Thank you to those members that have already taken material to put in their home bin. If more members could do this that would help spread the burden.

We have space in the skip in the RBC car park if members want to dispose of large items not suitable for household waste collection. This can be done weekdays when the club is open.

The Emergency Team met via Zoom last evening. It was decided to arrange a DRAWN TRIPLES COMPETITION to commence in August with a final on the weekend of 5th/6th September (our original club finals dates). If you are interested in participating please advise Paul Eales by e-mail to paul.eales@hotmail.co.uk by Saturday 8th August. Format of the competition will depend upon the number entering.

It was also agreed to allow the use of SCOREBOARDS for club competitions from tomorrow (Friday 31st July). Competitors should use the anti-bacterial wipes which are available for the contact surfaces. The player in singles or a nominee from the team not keeping the scorecard is responsible for the scoreboard.

Following some enquiries we can confirm that spectators are welcome when we are open for roll ups and the singles and pairs competitions. Social distancing must be observed. The clubhouse toilets are available.

Before visiting please check the club website Members Area and view the Calendar to check if there is bowls being played.

Openreach visited this morning and confirmed there is a line fault outside of the premises. The Openreach telephone engineer was unable to ascend the poles due to safety concerns and is reporting back to his supervisor. So we may be without a phone for some time.

Our clubhouse phone is out of action. A line check has detected a fault and this is being followed up.

In the meantime if urgent please contact the following for:

Green Team – Ken Jupp

Clubhouse Maintenance – Roger Gatland

Rink Booking – Steve Whiting

General – John Davison

Roger Gatland has kindly agreed to this title. It formalises Roger’s proactive role in identifying issues and solutions. If you are aware of any clubhouse items that need attention, then please let Roger know. Roger will aim to get these carried out using our own members’ skills where possible, but he may on occasion need to call in outside companies.

If members have skills or knowledge to help in a practical way around the clubhouse and are willing to help if a situation arises then please let Roger know.

For the green and surrounds the contact is still Ken Jupp.
