DISABILITY BOWLS ENGLAND STATEMENT
COVID-19 -RETURN TO BOWLS
The following playing formats are in accordance with Government guidelines:
• Individuals playing bowls on their own on a single rink
• Two individuals from two different households playing on a single rink (no marker)
• Members of the same household on a single rink (no marker unless from same household)
Social distancing rules must be strictly adhered to; you must remain at least two metres apart from other bowlers (who are not part of your household) at all times.
Players who require additional help from a person who cannot maintain the two metre distance, such as a wheelchair pusher, visually impaired or blind helper/director, personal carer or coach, must note that this assistance is to be provided by a member of their own household.
Disability aids and wheelchairs must be sanitised before and after each session. If club equipment is to be used, prior permission along with instructions for use must be obtained.
Any changes to the guidance will be published on www.disabilitybowlsengland.org.uk and www.bowlsengland.com
If you have any questions, please email info@disabilitybowlsengland.org.uk
These are difficult times and although members will be keen to get back onto the green, please take care, stay alert and stay well.
NEW CHAIRPERSON
A message from our new Chairperson Steve Watson.
I am very honoured and proud to be the new Chairperson for Disability Bowls England Charity Trust. I am looking forward to working together with the board of DBE during these difficult times and also to meeting everyone again when safe to do so.
As we promote and move DBE in the right direction as the organisation continues to grow at pace, we will all need to be creative in our thinking as we adapt to new ways to steady the ship for “Our New World” after lockdown.
I would like to thank Paul Brown who for the past 6 years, has been the driving force behind DBE, showcasing it to a much wider world audience and has set very high standards for me to follow and maintain.
Lawn Bowls is truly “A Sport for All”
Steve Watson.
