Club Competition Program 2020
Sadly, the 2020 program was badly disrupted by government restrictions necessary to combat the Covid 19 pandemic.
At the end of July a survey to understand the views of members on competitions resulted in a limited number of singles competitions being offered. These competitions were adapted to ensure they were Covid 19 compliant and offered to members in August.

We have continued to learn more about what seems to work and attract entries from members.
The programme is run to provide the opportunity for everyone to enjoy various formats of competitive bowls with fellow members.
