Welcome to Burton & District Ladies Crown Green Bowling Website
Below is a copy of the letter sent to all league Secretaries this week
Dear Secretary
Hope you are well?
As the global Covid19 pandemic continues and as we are now in a second lockdown the Executive Committee has had to cancel their planned annual November meeting where we discuss the forthcoming season. Instead the committee has held a conference call and I’m writing to you to let you know the outcome of that meeting and plans for the 2021 season.
As the 2020 fixture book have already been printed and paid for we are going to use them for the 2021 season. It will only be the dates that will need changing as the fixtures will remain the same.
So we will NOT be holding the usual AGM in February 2021, but depending on the pandemic we may be able to hold a March Management meeting ready for the 2021 season.
As there will be NO AGM we will not be accepting any nominations/rule changes for 2021 season as per rule 8 of the association rules
If during 2021 season there are any problems the executive committee will meet up to discuss them on a case by case basis.
We are hoping that all members and teams are able to continue to play but only time will tell.
On behalf of the executive committee we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and looking forward to a happy and healthy 2021.
Please keep you and your family’s safe during these difficult times.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2021.
Yours sincerely
Yvonne Sweet
Secretary of Ladies Burton Bowls Association

To County Secretaries, Management and Officers, Leagues and Members.
Following the Government announcement this afternoon it is with great sadness that we now have to suspend all bowling for the foreseeable future.
Based on the advice announced we need to avoid all mass gatherings and sporting event as these will no longer be supported by the emergency services.
If anyone within your household has symptoms then the whole family need to isolate for 14 days.
Limit social contact wherever possible and encourage working from home.
At risk groups - those over 70 and those with medical conditions need to take additional care.
All BCGBA meetings should now be postponed as un-necessary travel should be avoided. Contact in Pubs, Clubs and restaurants to be avoided.
Taking this all into account all leagues should now suspend matches until such time as we are given an all clear to resume competition.
All BCGBA and BCGLCC Competitions are now suspended until further notice this should include all qualifier events.
As a Bowls community we need to look after our members and I encourage you to follow the advice being given and support those we are able to at this very difficult time.
I will add links onto the website / face-book as these are updated.
Please take care of yourself and stay safe.
