Major Pairs Progress; Lock-Down!
Major Pairs SFs today & (if you haven’t heard) we’ve got a Lock-Down to cope with!
Some words from Andrew…
“Results attached of the Major Pairs . Do not know when we will be able to play Final of the Pairs or Senior Singles . The Minor Singles closes on the 1st July but as the club is on lockdown that will be extended until Wednesday 14th July after lockdown is lifted . This lockdown will throw the calendar out a little but so be it. There will not be any Championship games on the weekend of the 10th/11th July or on the 17th/18th July as that weekend will be the Pennant State Finals ( if goes ahead) . At this point the players going to Maitland will still be playing a trial on Sunday 11th July , more info will follow.”

Note: The Zone 10 Results & Ladders website page may be fixed by the time you read this but the Hills Pennant Cup score needs adjusting. Team went down 16-18, not the 2-16 showing (the last time I looked).
(Got me thinking whether a 21-ends game could finish 16-2 & yes it could – with 3 tied-ends along with 1 shot scored each end. As for tied-ends, they could be equi-distanced bowls – or no bowls left in play! Happy Mothers Day)

2nd July 2020
Activity news?
Uwe has noted the latest BowlsNSW update ie BowlsNSW Coronavirus Updates & advises…
“Great news! From 1st July 2020, rules have been relaxed so we are now allowed to play Triples and Fours. We will still need to be mindful of social distancing and keeping our “tools of our trade” sanitised. A COVID plan is being prepared and will be displayed on the Club’s Bowls notice board when completed. More information next week so, until then, stay tuned and stay safe.”
29th June 2020
New Start Date for Bowls?
A few words from Uwe. . .
“Our Bowls Start Date – Now scheduled for Tuesday 14th July 2020. With the club to open on 1st July 2020, the intended start date has had to be deferred for 1 week.
Start times for morning social bowls are likely to change, as our volunteers that are preparing greens for play may not start their activities until about 8:30am, weather permitting. More on this during the week-ending 10th July.
When bowls restarts, the club will be following the recommendations of the respective bowls associations by adhering to the “4 people per rink” rule. At this stage, it means that Triples and Fours games will be suspended.
When you are at the club (from Wednesday, 1st July), check out the new surrounds and just as importantly check out the notice board for events coming up and other information.
The garden party volunteers have been doing a fantastic job ensuring that the grounds look superb. From 14th July the greens will be cut twice a week and rolled each day that bowls are played.
Things can change quickly, so we will keep you informed with new information as it comes to hand. In the meantime, stay tuned and stay safe.”
13th June 2020
Extra news…
Here’s the latest words from Uwe,
“Today, it has been announced that up to 20 people will be allowed on each green for roll ups. This is certainly great news. Nearly back to normal. The club’s booking system will need some modification to allow for the change in legislation so please be patient while this is being attended to. Meanwhile, stay safe and stay tuned for further updates.”
Yes, hot off the press from our mates at BowlsNSW – ie BowlsNSW Coronavirus Updates – & they’ve also said,
“…from today, 13 June 2020, Lawn Bowls has been granted permission to participate in organised matches this includes social & competition matches”
So many updates, they just keep coming! Get those roll ups going & watch for the next episode verrry sooon?
11th June 2020
All the Updates . . .
From the Development front, some words from Ken – Chairperson Update 10 June 2020
Bowling matters from Uwe again,
“The Government has announced that community sports for all ages will be able to resume organised matches from 1 July 2020. This is great news! However, we do not yet know what rules will apply with regards to social distancing, etc. Once these have been announced by the respective bowling authorities then they will be posted on the web site. The Club Ltd is planning on opening doors for trading on Monday 29th June 2020 and, as there have been significant changes within the club, it is envisaged that competitive social bowls may commence on Tuesday 7th July 2020.
On another note, a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers that have been looking after the gardens and preparing the greens.
It was good to see so many bowlers rolling up over the last few days. Smiles all round! With social distancing being important since the relaxing of rules, one bowler, who was rolling up, was heard to say that even his bowls were practising social distancing…… getting nowhere near the jack!
Until next time, keep an eye on this page and stay safe.“

More wise words from Uwe,
“Bowls NSW are expecting a resumption of competition from 1st August and have published a revised bowls program for the remainder of the calendar year. Zone 10 have also issued a revised program. The Hills Club intends to open its doors on 29th June 2020 to patrons under strict guidelines. However, this DOES NOT mean that bowls, social or competition, will be back in full operation. A lot will depend on the Government’s position with regards to social distancing in sporting events. For the time being, the use of greens will be restricted to roll ups only and only when booked online using the Club’s booking system. As more information comes to hand it will posted on this page as soon as possible. Stay tuned and stay safe.”

Hills Club News Update
Another update from Angus, see – Hills Club Update – 29 May 2020 – on the website – The Hills Club
Along with the above, Uwe’s message is that –
“Bowls roll ups will be allowed from Wednesday 3rd June. At this stage, roll ups will only be allowed Tuesday through Friday and will be under the supervision of Club employees. Subject to weather and grass conditions, the greens will be open from 10am to 4pm. Access to the greens is available by booking a rink online. This will be the only way to get access to the greens for a roll up. Please do not turn up and expect to gain access at any time.
When booking, you will be required to acknowledge that you have read the Policy Document and that you are aware of your responsibilities. To secure your spot on the green a fee of $8 per rink for 2 people will be charged at the time of booking. The booking system is now live and can be accessed via the Hills Club Ltd website, under Bowling, by selecting/clicking on “Bookings”.
Please also note that all greens will only be maintained once a week on Monday by volunteers and that roll ups on Green 2 will only be allowed in an East-West direction.”
Wo0hoo, some good news for those able to get going? Just remember, Stay Safe

Hills Club Updates
The Hills Club website – The Hills Club – has an update from Angus – see Hills Club Update 22 May 2020
Also, something bowls-related from Uwe, direct to the Editor –
“We are targeting Tuesday 2nd June to allow our members to roll up on our greens. At this stage, we will have a limit of 10 bowlers per green, however, this could change following today’s announcement by the State Government. The Club is waiting for an official ruling from the respective Bowls authorities before changes to the maximum number of bowlers per green is changed. As soon as the Club knows, that information will be posted on the website.
For a bowling member to gain access to the greens, one must book via an online booking system. When ready, the link will be available from the Club’s website. The booking system will allow up to two bowlers per rink in 1 hour sessions. It is intended that supervised roll ups will be permitted from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday. Access to the grass greens will be conditional on weather conditions e.g. if there is rain the night before a roll up, it is possible that the grass greens will be closed. The respective supervisors will make that decision on the day.
Please note that all roll ups will be supervised to ensure that the Club follows the guidelines set down by the State Government. Also note that things may change rapidly so stay tuned.”

Hills Club News?
They’re active in “The Hills Bunker” & elsewhere & various snippets have surfaced.
If you keep an eye on the BowlsNSW updates ie BowlsNSW Coronavirus Updates then you might have noticed this – Roadmap to Staged Participation
Yesterday, Uwe, our Bowls Director, advised that “Following on from the “Roadmap to Staged Participation” issued by Bowls NSW on 11th May, procedures are being developed so that roll-ups at The Hills Club will be allowed. There are quite a number of things to be considered which include access to the respective locker rooms, greenspace availability, bookings and supervision of the number of bowlers per green. It is anticipated that within 2 week the greens only will be open for roll-ups. As the members’ health and well being is the Club’s major concern during this crisis, our General Manager will determine the roll-up starting date. It should also be noted that the greens, and gardens, are now being looked after by volunteer bowling members with the greens being maintained/prepared once a week until further notice. A big thanks go out to this “Garden Party”.”
The Hills Club website – The Hills Club – also seems to be getting some new work so keep watching there too. Recently added was the following – Chairperson Update 12 May 2020

3rd April 2020
ALL Hills Club greens will remain Closed until further notice
That’s the message as indicated via our Chairman of Bowls, ie “Although there are whispers around that it is OK to play bowls with strict rules in place, there is no change to the club’s stance on access to the greens at the Hills. ALL greens will remain closed until further notice.”
The “whispers” are probably all addressed through the BowlsNSW website updates, following various statements from Clubs NSW regarding the permissibility of Golf & Bowls activities under “Social Distancing” rules. Worth reading the link below, & keeping up with their updates about what’s happening & when (or NOT, as the case may be during these serious times?).
