*********

In addition to the above BCGBA restrictions and in order to eliminate any further possibility of contamination the AGB&SC committee has decided that the ladies and the mens clubhouse should be closed until further notice and no club member must enter either clubhouse. Please note this means there will be no club toilet facilities available.

Members must pay their annual club membership of £10 before being allowed to book a bowling session. This is by bank transfer only, details of which can be obtained from the Club Secretary.

The restricted bowling times are 10.00 till 17.10 daily (inclusive) and will be allocated in 1 hour time periods with 15 minutes between games. Members must cease playing promptly at the end of their allocated session and immediately vacate the green and surrounding area.

Members may book 1 hour sessions for a week in advance by contacting the Club Secretary. Bookings can only be made on a Friday between 10.00 and 13.00 for the following 7 days.

Due to the high possibility of the public being present around the perimeter of the greens the bowling mat must be placed a minimum of 2m from  the edge of the green at the start of each end.

NB. Any member not adhering to the above requirements will be liable to disciplinary action and the club will risk the withdrawal of Fylde Borough Council's approval for bowling to take place on the green
