I am looking forward to my season as your President and no doubt will meet up with many of you during the season. I take this opportunity to congratulate our Past President, Paul, for his commitment throughout last season and of course to welcome Chris, my Vice President, with whom I shall enjoy working.

 

We have to be so grateful for the dedication shown by all Past Presidents, Officers, and members of Council and those with special duties, who ensure the smooth running of all aspects of the administration – believe you me it is no mean task!

 

We, as a county, have truly skilful bowlers and our successes at Leamington last Summer proved this. Our under 25s doing the double in the White Rose Trophy and Appleyard winning the Top Club as well as the Singles Championship. A number of our other clubs were also represented and in some cases our bowlers were within a whisker of making a final. I am certainly holding high hopes for a multitude of successes this year.

 

My thanks go to all the clubs who are hosting county matches and of course to all those members who give so much of their precious time volunteering for club duties. This is so important these days with costs escalating out of all proportion.

 

Finally, have an enjoyable bowling season whether it be with your friends for a daily or weekly roll-up, playing in club matches, or in leagues and competitions.

 

Robert Baldwin
