A message from Chairman Brian:

Dear Members
After the Prime Minister’s broadcast about relaxing the virus lockdown, we received communications from the various bowling associations and in particular from Barry Massey, our county and league secretary.
In line with these communications I have undertaken a “Risk Assessment” of our Club and its facilities. With the help of Des Robinson we have instigated various safeguards and procedures, which should enable members to bowl safely if they wish to do so.

1. Only partake in bowling alone, with members of your household, or with one other person from outside your household, while ALWAYS practicing social distancing.

2. Players should bring and use their own equipment where possible.

3. Jacks and mats are available in the stand and should be washed before and after use in the disinfectant and rinsing water provided.

4. The Clubhouse and toilets will not be available for use at any time.

5. There should be a maximum of 4 players on the green at any one time.

6. Players arriving on site to find the green full should either leave and then return later or wait off the green observing social distance at all times.

7. Family and household groups may play together, but should minimize contact with other players on and off the green.

8. Over 70’s should be extra vigilant about the above rules because of their vulnerability and must maintain social distancing at all times.

9. The keypad which gives access to the site should be used wearing a glove or by using another object, i.e. Pen, biro etc. both when entering and leaving the site.

Further to the above, there are several guidance notes about how Covid impacts bowling on the BCGBA website (link on the left). There are photos on how we have responded on the Events page.

Barlaston is an ancient parish and large village of Stafford overlooking the Trent valley.  The name is of Anglo Saxon origin and is derived from Beornwulfs town or estate.  Barlaston is the gateway to the Downs Banks – owned by the National Trust and offering approximately 160 acres of bracken-covered moorland forming an idyllic backdrop to Barlaston village.

Barlaston Bowls Club is a village-based Crown Green Bowls Club offering both competitive League bowls as well as friendly social bowls. Why not come along and give us a try? - you're sure of a warm welcome!
