During the Summer of 2020 the Club took cognisance of the Government and Bowls England guidelines in force at any time and remained closed to all persons wishing to bowl with the exception of Branksome Park playing members.

The club was bowling using alternate rinks under Covid guidelines for roll ups and Open Play.

Internal club competitions were organised again within Covid rules and commenced on the 6th July 2020.

There was a maximum of 18 players on the rink which was well within the permitted 30 persons within an open space.

Members only were welcome to watch as long as the 30 persons quota was never exceeded. Social distancing was maintained at all times.

The 2021 Guidelines allowed the Green to be opened on schedule on Friday April 16th and again playing was restricted to Club Members only.  Initially play was to be restricted to single, pairs and triples matches until the June 21st when the hoped for lifting of all Covid-19 restrictions would allow a return to something like a normal season.  However following the easing of national lockdown restrictions in May Bowls England updated their Covid-19 Guidelines to allow full rinks bowling and the club implemented this change on May 18th.  Local Association Leagues will not be returning to teams of four until the 2022 Season.
