New Region Policy – Vaccinations to Play Bowls
The Regions Board has set a policy on vaccination requirements for season 2021/2022 as follows:
Added to Pennant, State and Region Events – All players and spectators must be fully vaccinated or hold an approved medical exemption. Responsibility for policing this policy:
- Club/Region Selectors,
- at venues – Side Managers
If a bowler has not been vaccinated or hold an exemption (medical certificate) he/she cannot play.
The Region’s Board, in setting the policy, is doing so due to the anticipated Victorian Government Road Rules for Community Sport, once the 80% double vaccination has been achieved in Victoria.
This policy is effective from 5 Nov 21.
Additionally, al bowlers need to comply with Covid-19 restrictions set by club’s or interstate bodies eg. NSW Regulation already implemented.
Request to all bowlers – Please ensure you are double vaccinated or have a medical exemption before entering clubs and events.
