Dear EIBA Club Correspondent and County Contacts
With the Government issuing its road plan out of the National Lockdown and the hope to return to a more normal life the EIBA Board have agreed the following in relation to its National Competition schedules.
2019-2020 National Finals
With Indoor Bowls not being able to fully return to normal until at least 21st June 2021 the outstanding National Finals for 2019-2020 will be deferred once more until 25th September to 14th October 2021.
The schedule of finals and location will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
2020 Summer National Competitions
It is with regret because of the time frame of when Indoor Bowls can return the EIBA will not be running its Summer National Competitions programme and will now refund all remaining entries.
We thank those players who were happy to carry over their 2020 entry in the expectation that the Competitions would take place and we’ll be in contact to finalise matters.
It is our intention to stage Summer National Competitions in 2022 and will release full details towards the end of this year.
2021-2022 Winter National Competitions
With the positive news that we have a pathway to a return to normality the EIBA are planning that a full programme of competitions can take place next season.
As such full details and entry forms will be published and sent out on Wednesday 3rd March 2021.
We will automatically carry forward entries from the 2020-2021 season which had not been withdrawn.
This has also been published on Social Media and the EIBA Website http://www.eiba.co.uk/news/2021/feb2021-national-competitions.php
