~~~~~~~~ 13/Aug/21~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Friday Pairs (now has full 11 teams) will be from 18-30 to 20-30

~~~~~~~~ 4/Aug/21~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE CLUB WILL REOPEN FOR THE WINTER SEASON ON SATURDAY 18th September.
Leagues will start on Monday 20th.
As everyone is probably aware Covid has taken its toll on members rejoining and entering teams in the leagues. At a recent meeting, due to the poor uptake on the Wednesday and Friday mixed fours leagues it is with regret the decision was taken to cancel those two leagues.
This does not mean it is the end, once the club is fully open and people start putting names on the subs sheets those leagues could be revived if enough people are interested.
Moving on, the decision was also taken to allow ladies to be a named member or substitute in ANY of the leagues. This is to try and compensate for the poor uptake.
This decision will be reviewed before the start of the 22/23 season.
ANYONE INTERESTED IN ENTERING A TEAM
should contact Graham on torbayaibainfo@gmail.com or 07747825916.
All the membership renewal forms along with the league sheets were posted on
Thursday 5th so should reach members very soon.
All fees will be the same as last season.
The summer bowls opening has been a success and hopefully will continue to grow.
The ladies leagues are also short of players anyone interested should contact Jenny Hopkins on 01803 550980.
Finally
Many people are worried about conditions inside the club,I can only reiterate now that we have the new units installed the airflow is far better than what the guidelines issued by the Government and EIBA advisors say it should be for indoor sports arenas. Hand sanitizers will still be available at various points around the club.
Look forward to seeing people in September
