About Us

Proposed start to 2020-2021 season 

Gloucester City Skittles League are looking to start the 2020-21 skittles season on September 7th with the following COVID 19 safety precautions - 

Compulsory - 

1. Hand Sanitizer – this must be provided by EVERY team for the use of their players for EVERYgame home and away. Each player must sanitize prior to bowling EVERYhand. Hand washing regularly is also advised. 

2. No wet cloths to be used for wetting hands or licking of fingers/hands prior to bowling. 

3. Depending on the venue a maximum of 6 members of any team to be allowed at the alley for each half. For larger venues, this can increase if social distancing can be maintained. (Please use common sense). If the club or pub has areas to distance yourself from the alley but still be present then common sense again is expected to be used. 

4. Teams are to use their own skittle balls home and away to reduce the risk of transmission. 

5. Stickers – It is the team's responsibility to arrange their sticker and the team is also responsible for providing any masks, gloves, or hand sanitizer that he or she requires. 

6. If a team needs to cancel/re-arrange a game due to illness then that team must contact the General Secretary in advance. 

 Optional - 

Face masks and gloves are not compulsory but we recommend they are worn if the individual feels it necessary. 

Team captains are asked by the committee to monitor and adhere to these temporary guidelines which will be reviewed monthly throughout the season. Any teams flouting the guidelines are warned in advance that the committee will not tolerate this and they risk being removed from the league. 

It is also the responsibility of each team to check whether their alley will be open come September 7th, if not they must find another alley ASAP

We are asking all teams to take a look at the COVID 19 safety measures we have put in place. Please let us know whether your team will be participating come September 7th?

Please reply to markcornwell5@hotmail.com by August 3rd, 2020 with your team's decision.

For the teams that are not sure if they want to start in Sept here are some questions you might need answering - 

1. Will my teams league position be affected? 

No ... there will be no promotion and no relegation for next season as it will be a “friendly” season. 

You will remain in the same division for season 2021-22.

2. Will my team be fined if we can’t fulfil a fixture?

No ... as long as you inform the league and the opposition in sufficient time.    

3. What will happen when we are due to play a team that has pulled out for the season? 

That week will just be a void week.

4. What if our alley is unavailable or not opening on time? 

It is the team’s responsibility to find an alternative venue (inform the league and their opposition) if they want to start on Sept 7th. 

5. What happens to our registration fees, will they carry over onto next season? 

Yes, all registration fees regardless of if you participate from Sept or not will carry over onto next season. 

Hopefully by starting in September we can support the bars and clubs that have had a tough time over the past four months and try and ensure they are there for us all for Sept 21 when we return to competitive skittles.
