Bowls Survey
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS – BACK to BOWLS
As we enter a New Year, it’s time to look ahead positively to the 2021 outdoor bowls season.
Last year proved there is a great appetite for people to enjoy our sport in a Covid-friendly manner. Those clubs who did open their doors provided a hub within their community for their members and experienced good levels of participation.
We know that the Coronavirus pandemic and lockdown restrictions have had a huge impact on people’s ability to play bowls. We know you have received a few surveys from us recently but this very short one will enable us to recognise how you are feeling and what support is needed to return, whilst building a national understanding of how different groups would prefer to be supported.
Steve Watson, Chairperson of DBE said “ This has been a very challenging times for our members, not having the opportunity to meet friends on the bowling green but also having to shield these past 10 months. “We want to do everything possible to ensure that clubs can reopen safely in 2021 and that the bowling family can get back to bowls with confidence across all codes. Your feedback will be valuable to support the work are undertaking, in conjunction with the Bowls England, Bowls Development Alliance and the British Crown Green Bowling Association, to help make this happen.”
The survey should take no longer than five minutes to complete and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution us to ensure that we can help to get you back on the green. Deadline for completed surveys is Sunday 28th February.
