Indoor/Outdoor Bowls Committees
There are 2 Bowls Committees, chaired by the Club Captains, which are responsible for the bowling aspects of the club i.e., leagues, competitions etc. The committees meet once a month during the relevant playing season and are answerable to the Board of Directors.
If you would like to sit on either of these committees then add your name to the list which appears on the noticeboard prior to the AGM each year; you will also need a proposer and seconder.
