Bowls Report Oct 22

Swan Hill Bowls Club

Update on Covid regulations for return to play are the following guidelines from Bowls Victoria.

Key points for the Murray Valley Playing Area are that competition is still not allowed, training and practice is permitted, and sport will only be available only to the fully vaccinated.

Hospitality guidelines state that Bowling Clubs can open to 30 fully vaccinated people indoors and 100 outdoors and one has to show Government approved proof of double vaccination, or you cannot enter the Swan Hill Bowls Club.

Our popular Friday Frolic will be on this afternoon – names in by 2.30 PM for a 3 PM start, and permitted practice again tomorrow with names in today for a 1 PM start Saturday.

Please adhere to the guidelines above and save embarrassment to all concerned.
