hours; sometimes spending three to four hours in the car each day on my commute. Working from home was a huge relief from this and the time then spent at the club was really relaxing and allowed me to refresh. It took all the normal pressure of work/home/ club balance away.
JT: I consider my mental health good and healthy. Being involved in the maintenance of pitches is great for the mind; through both exercise and being outdoors. I now off er the opportunity to young people in school to come and taste what it is like to be a groundsperson.
PC: No.
PHS: My health has suff ered only slightly, whereas it had a major eff ect on my ex- partner, who I was living with.
How do you see the future panning out?
WM: My glass is always half full, so I would like to think that, once this is all over, we can get back to how things used to be (or as close as possible).
MS: Diffi cult to say, but I don’t see things getting back to normal for a good couple of years. If we are lucky enough to have a full season of fi xtures next year, I will need some additional help, as the volunteers seem to have disappeared. We run four adult sides, one ladies team and fi ve youth teams; some of these teams have fi xtures or training almost every day, so fi tting in ground works can be tricky.
JT: I want to gain more knowledge to improve the pitches I care for. I have a strong passion to do this as a full-time job.
PC: The requirement to return to playing sport is key for all clubs survival. The longer the restrictions stay in place, the greater the negative impact will be on available funds to spend on facilities.
PHS: I cannot see bowls being back to any sort of normal until the summer of 2022. I predict that people will be back on the green, but reduced numbers.
Has this year defl ated or encouraged you?
WM: One minute football’s back, then the next minute football’s off again. Highs and lows all round I think.
MS: Encouraged. I love the work I do. We have some new equipment and I can’t wait for the spring.
JT: Encouraged me to continue and do more.
PC: Encouraged; the facilities were ready to go without any impact.
PHS: It’s just encouraged me to knuckle down and get on with things.
I believe the vast majority of the club’s staff, volunteers, parents,
players and coaches do understand the diff iculties
