Information regarding payment of subscriptions

For those people wondering about the payment of Subscriptions for 2020, we would hope that existing members will continue to support Lockswood Bowling Club by paying their Annual Subscription as usual.

The following is a quote from Bowls England following the Coronavirus situation, which endorses this position.

Quote:- "Bowls England recognises that many clubs will be facing a difficult season ahead and there will be a number of areas in which they require support in 2020" Unquote.

One of the areas highlighted is by:-

QUOTE:- "Encouraging members to support their clubs financially by continuing to pay their annual subscriptions - in order that the clubs will be there for them when we are able to resume bowling." Unquote.

S&DWBA COFFEE MORNING

Hi Ladies,

The S&D Ladies' Committee have decided to postpone the Coffee Morning due to be held on Wednesday 18th March, until later in the year. This is due to the Coronavirus, as cross contamination cannot be guaranteed in such a confined area.

They apologise for any inconvenience caused, but, nothing is more important than health.

I am sure you will all agree this is a wise decision.

Carol.
