THE LBC COVID-19 VACCINATIONS POLICYExtract from the December Newsletter
As from Saturday, 4th December, no-one will be able to participate in any Lincoln Bowling Club, or Bowls Canterbury events unless they have been double vaccinated. As a condition of entry to our facilities (clubrooms or greens), any member, visiting team member, guest, workman/women or visitor aged 12 and over, must agree to provide, written or electronic evidence of their COVID-19 vaccination certificate to a Lincoln Bowling Club designated official, on request.
If there is anyone who is not double jabbed and has been selected to play in a team, please let me know, or contact Bruce, Lois or the selector of the team, as you will not be allowed to play, all players must be double jabbed.
Those members who are playing at Lincoln on Saturdays, please arrive early to allow time to check vaccination compliance. Members who are to be playing at another club, if you do not have proof of double vaccination you will not be allowed in the gate.
Edited from the latest newsletter from the Secretary
ACCESS TO THE GREENS FROM THE REAR ENTRANCE IS CLOSED
The access to the greens via the gate from North Belt is closed. This is so that one person can check vaccination compliance at the front entrance from the main car park. Members and visitors are therefore advised to use the car park shared with the Lincoln Event Centre. Please also have your Covid-19 vaccination certificate to hand.
Please see our About Us page for a Google map and further location information.
