11.01.2022 Bowls Victoria With State Government directives updating regularly, we encourage all Clubs to familiarise themselves with the current COVID Guidelines for Bowls - bit.ly/OctRTPGuidelines

10.01.2022 CAR POOLING TO BOWLS: Will the potential inability to car pool impact your decision re playing Pennant ? Current understanding & interpretation (as at 2 Oct 2020) is as follows: Only the driver and one passenger can travel in vehicle to and from required destination if not an immediate family member.... The passenger is required to travel in the rear seat diagonally across from the driver to ensure 1.5m separation is achieved. Under no circumstances can a passenger travel in front seat unless an immediate family member. At all times Face masks must be worn during travel. Normal COVID-19 restrictions in confined spaces are to be adhered to." The DHHS website answers the question as follows: "Can I have passengers in my car? Under Second Step restrictions in metro Melbourne, you shouldn't have passengers in your car unless they live with you. You can only take a passenger in your car who's not from your household if they're going out for a permitted reason but can't drive themselves or don’t have a car. You can drive a young child in your care if you can't leave them unaccompanied at home. Under Third Step restrictions in regional Victoria, where possible you should avoid having passengers in your car unless they’re from your household or household bubble. There is a higher risk of transmitting COVID-19 in the enclosed space of a car. Where possible, any passengers who are not from your household should sit in the back seat for physical-distancing reasons. You should both wear a face mask in the car." https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/travel-regional-victoria-third-

04.01.2022 STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS: Bowls Victoria are pleased to officially confirm the 2020 Victorian Championships will take place from Sunday 10 January through to Friday 15 January 2021 at City Memorial BC in Warrnambool.

02.01.2022 MPB Match Committee have looked at options for the return to Bowls, as and when allowed. Sent to clubs on 10th August. MPB Inc Match Committee COVID-19 Update... As you all know there are currently Stage 4 COVID-19 restrictions in place in Victoria that do not allow participation in our much loved sport in the Mornington Peninsula Bowls Inc division (soon to be Region). We hope, like yourselves, that these restrictions will result in a large reduction in the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Victoria and allow a further round of reduced restrictions which will eventually allow our upcoming pennant, state events, twilight leagues and women’s only events to start as scheduled. Because of the volatility of the situation in Victoria we cannot reliably plan for the future however we can attempt to predict a few different scenarios that are most likely to occur involving our sport for which we can be prepared and then manage a suitable outcome for the member clubs on the Peninsula and their players. Pennant Calendar Scenario 1 - Saturday Pennant start on Sat 31 October 2020 and Midweek Pennant start on Tue 4 Nov 2020 as currently scheduled. Scenario 2 - Saturday Pennant start on or close to Sat 5 Dec 2020 and Midweek Pennant start on or close to Tue 8 Dec 2020 and complete 14 rounds. Scenario 3 - Saturday Pennant start on Sat 9 Jan 2021 and Midweek Pennant start on Tue 12 Jan 2021 and complete 14 rounds with the finals in early May. Scenario 4 - if we get a severely interrupted season, that a seven (7) round competition plus finals be played. Pennant Format We are confident that when there is a reduction in the restrictions 32 players will be allowed to play on a green, however if a lesser number is permitted we would look to re-format the competition to match what we can have on the greens. We have considered a variety of different formats and, if required, will announce them when we have a clearer indication of allowable numbers. Once the season starts with a format, the whole season will continue to completion with that format. State Events In the event that the State Events cannot start on the scheduled date or are severely interrupted, there is the possibility that the ‘Calendar of Events’ for the qualifying rounds and Finals will be compressed to get the events completed in time for the State Titles. The participants may be required to play the events at alternate times than otherwise scheduled i.e. in the evenings, on public holidays and even ‘extra’ games on a game day. Availability of venues could be critical along with compliance with social distancing. Adherence to a flexible schedule is paramount. Looking forward with eager anticipation to having everyone back on the green enjoying club representative pennant bowls and the challenge of state events. In the meantime Keep Safe and Healthy, The Mornington Peninsula Bowls Match Committee
