BOWLS SURREY NEWSLETTER Issue 03/2025

Hello Everyone.  Whoop Whoop …. Its almost the start of the outdoor season and I am certainly looking forward to it.  There will be a lot of work needed at all clubs over the next 2-3 weeks so make sure that you are one of those that helps out.  Many hands make light work.  Good Luck and lets keep our fingers crossed for good bowling weather.  Charlotte BS Communications Officer

Is your club celebrating a special birthday this year? 

I am organising another 'Special Match' against the Friends of English Bowling and am looking for clubs to attend.  You can send up to 4 members to this very special game.  Everyone who attended last year said it was a brilliant day.  For more details please contact me at BowlsSurrey@gmail.com

The Bowls Surrey competition draws are out and live on the Comp System. 

Please make sure that you enter the names of your team mates.  If someones name is not in the list it means that they have not been affiliated and therefore cannot play in a competition until that affiliation fee has been paid.  This cannot be done retrospectively - If an unaffiliated person plays you will be disqualified!

Bowls Surrey Code of Conduct.

If you are affiliated to ANY club in Surrey please read the Bowls Surrey Code of Conduct.  Every member is expected to abide by this Code. Is there something going on in your club?  A recruitment day or a charity event?  Well let me know and I can help promote your event on our Facebook Page.  Charlotte

WE NEED AN ADMINISTRATOR.
