BOWLS SURREY NEWSLETTER Issue 10/2024 Well, the clocks have gone back and its getting dark really early! Now is the time for the clubs to work hard getting ready for next year.

The work never stops! Clubs need YOU! Your club AGMs will be happening and all clubs need Committee members. Please consider helping. Charlotte BS Communications Officer.

BOWLS SURREY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS This is the last time of asking before the AGM. We need the following: Ladies Vice President, BS Board Chair, BS Board Administrator, BS Development Officer, Chandler.

Its time to start thinking about your 2025 outdoor competition season.

If you have never played in the County or National Competitions or if you haven't played for a few years why not think about going in them next year. With new competitions being introduced along with the usual Championships it is the right time to give it a go.

Why not take your new and upcoming members in or encourage them to enter the Unbadged or the new 'Novice' Pairs.

There are vacancies on the following Safeguarding course:- Sunday 3rd November Winchmore Hill Bowling Club, Middlesex. 10am 2pm. Contact the BDA to enrol.

Getting ready for next year? Bowls' Big Weekend dates for 2025 are 23rd - 26th May.

Start your recruitment planning NOW! Have you got your 2025 diary yet? If you want to start filling it up with your outdoor dates? Look on the website for the ladies and men 2025 calendars. (Polite warning - they could change!) Is you club celebrating a special birthday in the next couple of years?

Contact John Tucker for BS Celebration matches for 2025 and Bowls England or the Friends of English Bowling for 2026 matches
