Gaythorne Bowls Club are commencing FREE Introductory LEARN TO BOWL Sessions as part of the Brisbane city Council GOLD program in March 2021

As from Tuesday the 4^th August 2020, Gaythorne Bowls club will be starting Tuesday Afternoon Mufti Bowling.

We are introducing Tuesday afternoon bowls from 1.00pm to 4.15pm, with a break at 2.15pm for tea/coffee & biscuits.

The format will be self-select triples & pairs if there is an odd number.

Single entries are most welcome.

The dress code is mufti. It is open to both males & female players at a cost of $15.

To play Tuesdays– please put your name on list on the notice board at the Club

or phone the club from 11.00am on the day on 3855 2725.

We are trying to discourage walk-ins as it makes it difficult for the selectors to sort out teams..

On the first Tuesday of every month it will be a club selected triples game.

This will enable the Gaythorne & Ashgrove Bowls Clubs to get to know each other & better integrate moving forward.

In summary -

All are welcome Good bowling

Dear Member and Friends of Gaythorne Bowls Club.

 The Gaythorne Bowls and Community Club has now reopened as of 3^rd July 2020

However, we are in a ‘NEW NORMAL’ situation as COVID-19 Phase 3 restrictions still apply.

What does ‘NEW NORMAL mean?

Essentially all parts of the club are open including the bar area, all bowling activities can resume under normal playing conditions, competitions can resume, there will be a return to wearing club uniform for Saturday bowls, and other users of our facilities can return.

However, social distancing restrictions are still in place and these can be legally enforced by the police issuing on the spot fines. Social distancing must be observed at all time, and this applies to on the greens, as well as outside and inside the club house.

We have been informed that over recent weeks the police have visited a number of bowls clubs in the area to check that COVID restrictions are being observed.

 Also, there are restrictions on the number of people allowed inside the clubhouse at one time.

 Please read the two documents which set out the NEW NORMAL operating levels for people using our Club and Bowling Greens.  We have also added these guidelines to each section of the Web Site.

For Opening times please have a look at our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/gaythournebowlsclub/

Thanks
