Guidelines for all Indoor Bowls Districts/Centres/Clubs re Covid-19
If you are holding a club night or competition…no more than 100 people please:
• Push back your opening date as much as possible
• Look at your events and play those that are needed in the first few weeks
• Don’t play district events at night where possible, weekend play will help you keep the venue warm and have windows open.
• Reduce the amount of club nights, only play every second night.
• PLEASE STAY AWAY if you have travelled overseas or been in contact with others that have.
• PLEASE STAY AWAY if you are feeling sick especially with the flu.
• Wash your hands regularly.
• Cough/Sneeze into your elbow.
• Get some wipes and have around the hall for players to clean their hands between games.
• Have masks available for your players.
• Stop putting the next person’s bowl into the square (reduce the amount of contact).
• Our younger members (those not in a higher risk bracket) need to step up and help run events.
• Stop using a whistle and find a bell or even just have someone call “Time”.
• On warm days – open up as many windows and doors.
• For events we need to be open around late withdrawals due to ill players. If a team shows up and is a player short, then have a plan in place to allow them to still play.
• Have a break between every game that allows players go outside and/or to wash their hands.
• NO LICKING OF FINGERS.
• Use more space between the mats.
• Keep a list of everyone present so that, if something does happen, you are able to contact everyone straight away.
