VERY LATEST - CLUB CLOSURE - DO YOU NEED HELP? - from the manager
|
|
In support of the government's Coronavirus social isolation policy and to protect our members,the club will now be CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
If you know of any of our members who require assistance with shopping or collection of medicines whilst self isolating, please let me know via email using the Contact Us link in the menu area on the left of this page. I have a few kind hearted volunteers who are willing to help.
We'll try and keep the Home page as up to date as possible and the section below will retain all items as they are superceded.
Our Members' generosity has been overwhelming at this time of uncertainty. Since two ladies decided to pay the 'rink fees' they would have paid had we remained open, many have followed suit and I've had over £2400 donated to the club - including one single donation from a gentleman of £1000! THANK YOU ALL!

BONUS BALL LOTTO
For all the people who pay £10 every 10 weeks for the Bonus
Ball
Lotto, the last Saturday draw of the current cycle will be Sat 25th
April 2020. Given the circumstances in which we find ourselves, it is
only sensible to declare the Bonus Ball Lottery as
‘frozen’
from Sat 2nd May until we re-open and can easily collect
people’s
money.
If you have already paid in advance of 25th April your funds will pay
for the first 10 week cycle when we return which will be announced
here. Meanwhile, should members wish to continue to participate in a
lottery scheme to help fund the club at only £1 per week, try
the Lincoln City Lottery – to go directly to the LIBC page click

.
Thank you for your continuing support
Danny – 4th April 2020

COMPETITION ENTRIES 2020/21 WINTER SEASON
Something to look forward to and something to keep you busy -
I have developed a very simple spreadsheet in XL to incorporate entry
into the following competitions for 2020/21:
- National Competitions – Mens, Ladies &
Mixed
- County LIBA (Mens) Competitions
- County EBF (Mens LBA) Competitions
I have e-mailed the spreadsheet around to everyone I have an e-mail
address for who entered one of more of these competitions last year and
a few more people who I thought might wish to enter.
The spreadsheet contains details of all the individual competitions
available and the entry fees for each, including how to get your
payment to me before I summarise and submit all of the entries en-bloc.
The deadline for entries to me is 30th April 2020.
If you haven’t received the spreadsheet, but would like a
copy E-Mailed to you (or a paper copy sent), please let me know your
email address or contact me on the club number 01522 526237
Alternatively, you can download the file from the website - click
here.
Stay safe everyone

COMPLETION
OF
2019/20 WINTER LEAGUE SEASON - Updated
Given that it’s certain we won’t
be playing bowls again for a few months, we need a way of finishing off
the current season and deciding promotions and relegations for
September.
A lot of clubs have decided to award 1pt to each team in respect of all
unplayed matches but the LIBC Club Committee decided at their latest
meeting that the fairest method of deciding the league tables would be
to award each team their average pts per game for each outstanding
match and add that to their points total gained thus far.
The points in the league tables have been modified to reflect this. The
workings are available in Article RE-CALCULATING THE 2019_20 WINTER
LEAGUE TABLES which can be downloaded from the Committee
Meeting Minutes webpage. If you find any errors, please let
us know via the '''Contact Us''' menu link on the left.
STATEMENT –
CORONAVIRUS & THE OUTDOOR BOWLS SEASON
Brian / Alistair / Tony / Kris / Colin
Appointed Representatives of Lincolnshire bowling Association,
City/District/Cliff Leagues & Bowls Lincolnshire
Based on the current Government advice & restrictions and given
the recent statements by the relevant bowls national bodies (EBA
& EBF), the following league committees have taken the decision
TO CANCEL ALL OUTDOOR BOWLS LEAGUES AND COMPETITIONS UNTIL AT LEAST
JUNE 30TH.
• City of Lincoln League
• Lincoln & District
League
• Cliff League
• Bowls Lincolnshire Section 2
Fours League
• Bowls Lincolnshire Section 2
ASC Metals League
There will be a review of this situation by us all in early June, which
will be guided by the latest advice from the Government &
national bowls bodies at that time. Should the situation and
advice/restrictions change we will look to try and get some bowls
played, however should it not then the season will have to be cancelled
in its entirety.
Without doubt the main priority is the health, safety and welfare of
all our players and members. Given the age profile of many of our clubs
it is important that we all pull together and help in looking after our
members and encourage people to keep an eye out for each other at this
time and in particular, those that live on their own. This could be
things like:
• Shopping
• Collecting Medicines
• Appropriate
Contact/Conversation – respecting the relevant
‘social distancing’ guidelines and advice
We all look forward to seeing you all in healthier and happier times.
---------------------------------------------------------------
THE LATEST FROM LIBC
For people who can’t get onto the website every day,
I’ve been asked to ensure that any updates remain in view for
a while so they can catch up. We’ve therefore modified the
look of the Home Page to be an ever evolving ‘NEWS
PAGE’ covering LIBC issues and reaching out to members with
the latest information, requests and offering assistance to anyone who
may need it. This is just an initial design and will develop with use.
CLUB TELEPHONE
– 01522 526237
There is obviously nobody at the club so the Club
number will be diverted to my mobile phone and will be answered during
the day starting from 10am tomorrow (Fri 20th March). If there is
anything you need to know urgently, you can either email me or from
tomorrow, call the club number between 9am and 5pm and I will be on
hand to answer your queries.
If you require some assistance with groceries or medicines, please
call. I have a few willing volunteers, one of whom maybe in your area.
LEAGUE ENTRIES FOR
2020/21 WINTER
We are going to assume we’ll be back up
and running in September but there are still a few captains who
haven’t entered their squads for next season. I will be in
touch with them all to ensure they haven’t forgotten before
accepting and calculating final team entries.
If you would like to submit a new team in any league, please email me
for a form (danny@lincolnibc.co.uk)
EIBA NATIONAL
COMPETITION ENTRIES – LADIES & MEN
We await an announcement concerning entries for next
season’s EIBA National Competitions from the governing body.
We do have the individual forms and I will be contacting those who
normally enter for their entries. Payment can be taken via Bank
Transfer and the club’s account details will be given to you
upon request.
COUNTY ENTRIES
– LADIES
Lesley Holmes coordinates the entries for County
Competitions. Lesley has requested that we request a closure date of
15th September for Ladies County entries so there’s plenty of
time left.
Ladies can email Ladies Competition Secretary Sue Johnston for a form
& either submit electronically (you can be billed to pay later)
or download the form & complete then leave for Sue’s
attention with cheque rather than cash at LIBC (through the letterbox).
COUNTY ENTRIES
– MEN
I have a list of usual entrants for LIBA
Competitions and will contact you all to ask if you wish to enter in
due course. If you haven’t entered previously and would like
a form please telephone or email me.
STAY SAFE &
WELL
If any of our members require assistance whilst in
self isolation, please give us a shout. We’ll do all we can
to assist.

Coach's Corner:
Strange times
- by Howard Jarrold
|

An awful lot of you have memories going back a long way and I'm sure none of you have ever experienced times like this. Three months ago no one could have foreseen the plight we find ourselves in. Stability in the financial world is under threat and it will take strong leadership to navigate us back to calmer waters. We hope that this virus can be soon mastered and we must all play our part in bringing stability and normality back into our lives.
Enough doom and gloom ! Look on the brighter side. With everywhere closed, your bank account will look much better, and you won't feel so guilty ....... ....... .......
