President’s Day

BWBA President, Terry Fitzgerald held his first President’s day at West Wickham BC, Kent.  He chose West Wickham as the venue for the day as he had enjoyed considerable success at the club when he was a member there before moving South some years ago to retire in Sussex.  With family in the area he is still a regular in the Club’s bar!

Twelve rinks of bowlers congregated on the day with two aims in mind.  Firstly, to enjoy the day and competitive afternoon of bowls; and secondly to learn about the BWBA andhaving learnt that bit more about the Association to be asked to support the BWBA financially by making a donation.
