Following a meeting of the British Isles Indoor Bowls Council’s (BIIBC) Executive Committee held on Tuesday 4th January 2022, a decision was made to postpone all the scheduled International events due to be held in February and March 2022.
Within the statement released by the BIIBC, its Chief Executive Officer, David Phillips, said: “This decision was arrived at due to the increasing numbers of Omicron Variant Covid 19 cases within the U.K and the current restrictions put in place by the devolved Governments regarding participation and spectator numbers permitted at indoor events.
“It is the intention of the BIIBC to reschedule all events for October 2022 and a full revised calendar of events will be published as soon as possible.
“The BIIBC apologise for any inconvenience this decision may cause, however the safety and welfare of all our players, officials and spectators must come first in any decision making process.”
Further updates will be posted on the BIIBC website, should you require any further information please contact David Phillips, BIIBC Chief Executive Officer.
