League Dinner Dance
The League Dinner Dance has been cancelled this year as its' main function is to present trophies/cups. Finishing all three tournaments In time, if at all this year, is doubtful so cancellation was the only option.
Coronavirus Update
In view of today's Government advice, regarding limiting social contact, the League Committee has taken the unprecedented step of suspending all League fixtures and the League Tournament, scheduled for this weekend.
While we have decided to suspend all league fixtures, we feel that it is inevitable that no further League fixtures will be played this season. We do not expect the Tournament to be played either.
This being the case, we will consider its’ implications and consult in due course. Obviously Tournament fees already paid will be refunded. Should Government advice change we will, of course, review the position.
We have not taken this decision lightly but feel it is our social responsibility to keep our members and, the wider population, safe.
Coronavirus - C&DBL Guidance
The Committee is keen on protecting its members from contracting the Coronavirus. While the virus is limited to only a few people at the moment, current thinking is that containment will not be successful and hence a wider spread of the virus is inevitable.
The Committee therefore feels that not shaking hands at the end of a game is a wise precaution and should be adopted forthwith as it will help minimise spreading the virus. During the current period, not shaking hands will not be seen as discourteous; a simple “thank you” or “well played” is perhaps a suitable alternative.
The symptoms of coronavirus are: a cough; a high temperature; shortness of breath. While these symptoms do not necessarily mean people have the virus, it would be a wise precaution for anyone exhibiting these symptoms to refrain from attending Club nights.
Please advise your members of the Committee’s advice as it will avoid any misunderstandings during matches and tournaments.
