Following an Emergency Meeting of the Board on Tuesday 17^th March, Bowls England announced the cancellation of all its domestic events for the 2020 season. This was in response to the latest Government advice and growing concerns from bowlers about how the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak will impact lawn bowls. 

The decision covers all National Championships, National Competitions and other domestic events.

Bowls England will be providing support and advice to Clubs and County Associations over the coming weeks to ensure the future of the sport. 

Bowls England is seeking clarification in accordance with Government guidance as to when clubs can re-open. This will include casual play and members will be updated when the information is available.

In light of this and Government restrictions announced on Monday 23rd March 2020, all bowling activity is cancelled at the club until further notice.

The situation is under constant review at all levels and further guidance will be issued in due course. 

Due to coronavirus restrictions, the Club is cancelling the Outdoor Players’ Meeting, the April Coffee Morning and the Outdoor Opening Day. 

Further details on how the season should proceed will be given once there has been direction from Bowls Devon.

With the growing restrictions being brought in by the Government, it has been decided to postpone the Triples competition, scheduled for 24 March.

Also postponed is the Spring Tournament on 29 March. It is planed to run the next Tournament on 1 November 2020.

Many thanks to those who offered to help and to supply refreshments and raffle prizes – these, of course, will not be needed for now.

It is hoped that we will be able to look at dates in late October and November for the Ladies final, Men’s singles and the Triples.

NOTE: Further decisions regarding events at the Bowls Club will be posted here as & when decisions are made.
