There is still time to sign your club up for the Bowls Big Weekend, which is on the bank holiday weekend at the end of May. Details can be found here https://www.bowlsengland.com/bowls-big-weekend-2021/. Once you have signed up and registered an event people can book on via the website and you get an email with a link to a portal where you can download publicity materials for either online or hard copy posters/banners etc. It is good to see that a number of Lancashire clubs have already registered.

The latest guidance on the first phase of green opening can be found on the BCGBA website at https://www.bcgba.org.uk.. All Clubs should refer to this guidance before opening greens.

Update from Keith Andrews:

I have found out that if a Clubs in your League are not affiliated to B.C.G.B.A. by paying the the £35, if they get Insurance through Endsleigh Insurance they will not be Insured, this is because it is an agreement between the two companies.

When bowling starts & Clubs open there greens they must have Insurance in place.

If for any reason they are not opening their greens , they have to remember that the Insurance runs up to 30th April 2020 & would have to pay the full £45 for what ever period was remaining up to 30th April 2021.

As a County we have had expenses from 1st November 2019 to the day that bowling was suspended, we had to pay for printing of Lancashire Handbooks, Printing of all Affiliation forms & we had to pay B.C.G.B.A. for their Handbooks & other small fees that as a County we have to pay.

I am asking the Clubs to pay the full affilliation fee for this year, I am also looking to charge Clubs a reduced fee for next year.

I am keeping both Handbooks till next year to be distributed & with Lancashire’s to add a small updated book.

This would bring our County in line with some other counties..
