UPDATE: Tuesday 10th November, 2020.

1A - 4A - Wednesday, December 16th - Saturday, December 19th - 2020. 5A & 6A - Friday, January 15th - Saturday, January 16th - 2021. B state championship tournament was held at Salina and was won by Haven High School. In 1929 and 1930 no Class B tournaments were held; a new plan had been instituted whereby the Class B teams played in the same tournaments with the Class A teams following the first-round district meets.

Bowls Victoria is pleased to confirm that the Metropolitan Pennant season will commence as per the dates previously published:
COMMENCEMENT DATES:

  • Thursday 26th November 2020 (Thursday 7-a-side)
  • Saturday 28th November 2020 (Weekend Pennant)
  • Tuesday 1st December 2020 (Midweek Pennant)

As previously advised, the final draw will be released by early next week.

Following the Premier’s recent update, we know everyone will be pleased that the 25km travel restriction has now been lifted. So with just a few weeks before Metro Pennant commences there will no doubt be lots of long overdue catch ups with family and friends taking place around the state.
With practice matches able to proceed in Metro Melbourne, we hope that members are now starting to get back on the greens, following the DHHS guidelines around the ‘number of people required to play the sport”. In Regional Victoria where competitions are in full swing in many areas, we hope that all necessary COVID-Safe practices are being carried out and that members and clubs are doing all that you can to stay safe.
Clubs should be pleased to see in this week’s update, that as well as social bowls, barefoot bowls can also now commence, with a cap of 10 per group, and groups separated by 10 metres.

Bowls Victoria is still liaising with Government about the use of masks in hot weather, for now they are still mandatory.
There have been some questions around spacing and partitions for hospitality areas, and according to current guidelines we can confirm the following:

  • Temporary structures remain allowed to separate indoor spaces, otherwise 5m distance is required between clusters of up to 10 patrons.
  • An indoor space may be split into indoor zones in which up to 10 members of the public (excluding infants under one year of age) may be seated, so long as each member of the public is seated at least 5 metres away from any member of the public seated in an adjacent indoor zone. The number of members of the public in each indoor zone may consist of multiple unrelated group bookings.

We again ask members and clubs to show patience and flexibility in what is an incredibly unusual set of circumstances. We are doing everything we can to get people back playing and seeing their mates – in a safe manner.

As COVID-19 remains a rapidly changing and evolving global situation, we will continue to work with relevant government authorities to provide the Bowls community with new and updated information as it comes to hand.
