*Updated 04/06/2020 – No change on suspension of all BWB sanctioned activities

At the moment there is still no change regarding government advice for indoor team sport, but at some point, in the future this will hopefully change.

We are reviewing every process involved in our sport and considering how this might work in a phased return approach across the UK, that is in-line with the government’s guidelines and priorities, but also and most importantly has the welfare of our participants at its heart.

There are still a large number of unknowns including different approaches across home nations, and we are working on these with a hope to publish a phased road map for gradual and safe return to sport, which will be subject to a number conditions being met as we move through each phase of the return to sport plan at the beginning of July.

The full update (published on 4 June 2020) can be read here:
