ROADMAP OUT OF LOCKDOWN
HOW INDOOR BOWLS IS AFFECTED

Following the Prime Minister’s Statement to Parliament this week on how the Government propose to ease lockdown restrictions and offer the Country a route back to a more normal life, the EIBA can summarise what this means for the sport of Indoor Bowls in England: -

Step 1 No earlier than 29th March 2021   Indoor Bowls Clubs to remain closed, unless Clubs have arrangements with schools for pupils to participate in
after school clubs.

    Step 2 No earlier than 12th April 2021  Indoor bowls clubs will be able to open and have individuals or people from the same household play on the
same rink.   Club shops will be able to open.   Club bar and restaurant only able to serve people outside via table service.  

  Step 3 No earlier than 17th May 2021   Indoor bowls clubs will be able to allow up to 6 bowlers from different households or members of 2 households
on a rink.   Club Bar and Restaurant will be able to serve people indoors via table service for up to 6 people or members
of 2 households.    

Step 4 No earlier than 21st June 2021   It is hoped that all limits on social contact are removed and Indoor Bowls can return to normal.     At all stages the Government will make decisions on specific restrictions such as social distancing, face coverings, vaccination certificates etc so these will need to be factored in the planning prior to any re-opening.

Please note that the provisional dates for each step may change if the government believes it is not safe to move to the next phase.

The EIBA will continue to update its Clubs, Counties and bowlers once more details are received for each step.

SCWIBA Season 20/21

Following the latest EIBA Guidance V6 issued 25th September 2020 and a email/telephone emergency GPC Meeting, the following will apply for the 20/21 Indoor Season.

All County Matches, including Inter-County League, Executive, Patrons and friendlies are cancelled. All County League matches are cancelled. County Competitions will not take place and entry monies will be refunded. If possible, the 19/20 County Competitions will be played to their conclusion after Christmas.

The 19/20 National finals have again been postponed from November 20 to April 21.

No County Booklet will be published. It has proved impossible to hold an AGM, so all Officers remain in situ. A virtual Executive may be possible in the New Year. These decisions have been made in the best interest of all members of SCWIBA whose health, safety and well being were the paramount consideration.

Good, safe bowling in your Clubs and hopefully a full programme of County activities will be available safely for the 21/22 Indoor Season.

As we all now enter a period of uncertainty, the COVID updates have now been given their own sub folder on the website menu.

The League fixtures that remained have been cancelled, and the lists updated to give a final table with those unplayed matches being declared draws, with points shared.

Section One was won by Arun and Section Two by Wealden.

The website will continue to be updated as we receive any further information regarding changes to SCWIBA policies.

Above all, stay safe and well, and we look forward to seeing you all back on the rinks at the earliest.

Welcome to the new website for Sussex County Women's Indoor Bowling Association.



There have some concerns over the "not secure" status of the website.
A secured site covers any personal information that is inputted, such as credit card details.

As we are an "information only" website, SCWIBA like many Club sites is safe to view.
