LATEST UPDATE - Some Good News For Social Members! - from the manager
|
|
Our Covid Steering Group met last night for the first of our weekly reviews. This will be the body that decides any adjustments to the measures we have in place.
Our first week back has seen a very slow uptake - so much so that from Mon 10th Aug we would Be delighted to welcome any member who wishes to use the bar/coffee bar facilities without the need to book. This effectively gives our Social Members the green light to come back to the club. We do ask that you "check in" by announcing your arrival at the bar so that we can log your attendance to comply with current legislation please.
Please note that the seating in the middle aisle and behind rinks is off limits to enable the one way system. The only seating available therefore is in the bar area and is suitably distanced.
Other topics for the group were :
Face masks - to remain in place (face shields are an acceptable alternative but masks are encouraged please)
League bowling - Captains to be contacted to assess squad availability ahead of plans for a phased return to league bowling from mid September. Members will be encouraged to attend a "Demo Day" before returning to play league bowls if they haven't been into the club.
Opening Hours - Will be restricted to 9am to 8.30pm Mon to Fri and 9am to 12 noon on Saturday until 7th September
All play must be booked in advance.
Snacks - We hope to have sandwiches and sausage rolls available again from later this week but sales will determine how worthwhile this is. We will be consulting with our regulars about the prospect of meals served to tables in due course.
Bingo - will be discussed at the next meeting and organisers consulted beforehand so watch this space!
BOOKING A SESSION
The menu item 'Coro Bookings' in the left hand menu will show you what rinks are available at what times over the next week. You can book up to 7 days in advance if you wish.
Please let the staff know your membership number (if you know it) or ask them to look it up when you call and save it for next time.
You'll need to state your name, Membership number, the date, rink and time you wish to book, and you also need to tell us who will be sharing the rink with you.
PLEASE NOTE THAT BY LAW WALK IN BOOKINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED AND EVERYONE MUST TELEPHONE AHEAD so that we can adhere to Track and Trace requirements.
We are deliberately starting very slowly so a maximum of 4 persons per rink for now please.
We are overwhelmed by the continuing generosity being shown to us by our members! Donations are still coming in and to date 65 people have contributed £9834.60. This is a tremendous help to us and we sincerely thank everyone who has contributed any sum of money.
We continue to be very grateful to those who support us through the Lincoln City Lottery (link in Left Hand Menu).

Here behind the scenes at LIBC we are still working hard to make sure as soon as we are allowed to offer indoor bowling we do it in the safest ways possible.
Obviously there will be standards we are told to meet but we are also setting out some procedures in addition to structural changes to make it easier. Training and appropriate protection will be available for our staff. You may not know but our regularly serviced air conditioning exchange system is designed to bring fresh air in to the building at regular intervals rather than simply recirculating the existing internal air.
