URGENT NOTICE & REMINDER TO ALL BOWLING CLUBS
At the BCGBA Management Meeting yesterday I can now inform you that you must comply with their BYE LAW 5g handbook page 42 which states as follows-
EVERY CLUB MUST HAVE A NAMED SAFEGUARDING OFFICER WHO HOLDS A CURRENT DBS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN APPROPRIATE PENALTY
THIS BYE LAW WILL TAKE EFFECT on 1ST MARCH 2019
I can confirm that the penalty will be a fine of £25 on 1st March to be increased to £50 after a further 3 months, then increased to £75 after a further 3 months rising to £100 after 1 year plus your club would be suspended from playing!
Obviously we do not wish anyone to be fined or suspended so its is imperative that appropriate action be taken now.
For further information please contact Martin Goddard 07711426003 or David Williams 07899688182
