Member Updates
We asked our members to update us on how they are doing. Please see their comments below.
❝My isolation included the attached, plus of course occasional walks (recommended) but lots of TV news (not recommended). The best thing I did was to phone some of my lawn bowling and carpet bowling friends just to check in with them.All fine so far, lets hope it stays that way.❞ |

❝Is going well, all circumstances considered. With the library closed it is hard to keep reading. I have signed up with Kobo. Newer books are very expensive with Kobo, but some older ones are much cheaper so I have been concentrating on them. Have also been doing some large, 1000 piece, jigsaw puzzles. Helps to make the time go by more easily. With my severely compromised immune system I don’t dare go to a grocery store but we have a few younger friends who have been super in getting us groceries and bringing them to our front door. Doing lots of gardening on nice sunny days. Overall we are doing well, but looking forward to the lifting of these regulations. We understand, though, that it could easily be late June or even into the summer months.❞

March 22, 2020 - update
In consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 virus and in-line with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) recommendations, the Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club (CLBC), on March 16, 2020, decided to delay the start of the 2020 outdoor season. As a result of the delay, we have suspended all bowling activities with immediate effect (games, practice, meetings except online, social activities, corporate events) until the situation improves. We continue to maintain the green as this involves a limited number of people who, while working, can keep the accepted social distances.
Our priority remains the health and safety of our athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, fans, partners and all associated with (CLBC). We continue to follow the situation as it unfolds, and recognize that many of our members fall into the most at-risk demographic and decisions were made with a duty of care to protect all members.
Some of the lawn bowling clubs in British Columbia have already cancelled their 2020 season, although we respect their decision, and we may come to the same conclusion. But we feel it is too soon to make such a decision as nobody knows what the future holds.
