Key points. -

• All restrictions on formats and numbers for organised activity under the
• jurisdiction of British Crown Green Bowling Association will be removed.
• Car sharing will be permitted.
• Indoor hospitality can resume.
• Spectators can return.

In accordance with its roadmap, the government has now announced its plans to move to Step 3 from Monday 17 May, and in line with the government’s announcement we are delighted to confirm the following:

1. All restrictions on formats and numbers for organised activity under the jurisdiction of BCGBA will be removed.
2. Car sharing, spectators and indoor hospitality will be permitted This latest announcement is a great step forward for our sport, as we expect the majority of clubs to be able to operate in a fairly normal manner from Monday 17 May.

We recognise that the restrictions on car sharing and spectators in particular have presented challenges for some clubs and players and, like other sports, made representation to government on behalf of our affiliated clubs. We are therefore delighted that these will be permitted from Monday 17 May.
