 Re: Government’s further easing of COVID-19 Lockdown

 Following the Prime Minister’s statement earlier today on the next steps of easing the lockdown I wish to advise that unfortunately Indoor Bowls, along with other Indoor Sports and Gyms, were not included in the permitted activities.

His colourful bowls will continue to grace the rinks under my ownership.

AS HUMANS GO INTO HIDING BIRDS COMEBACK OUT GLIDING
BACK TO EARTH AND THEIR RIGHTFUL HOME
BACK TO THE LAND WHICH HUMANS HAD CLAIMED AS THEIR OWN
THEY BUILT UP CITYS AND CRAFTED HOMES

BUT NOT RECOGNISING WHAT THEY HAD LOST
ALL THEY CARED ABOUT WAS THE MONEY
BUT TO THE ANIMALS THIS WASN’T FUNNY, SPECIES DIED AND HUMANS THRIVED.

BUT THEN ONE DAY A VIRUS WAS RELEASED AND THE HUMAN POPULATION DECREASED
