A message from Andy Watson – Bowls Wiltshire Men’s County President 2024

Dear Bowls Wiltshire Men, it is with great pride and honour that I accept the position as your President for 2024.

I am deeply honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of leading Bowls Wiltshire Men forward and I am committed to making a positive impact to promote the game of bowls.

However, I cannot do this alone. I am confident that with the support from the Management Committee and all our clubs and members we can expand and promote the wonderful game we all enjoy playing.

I would like in advance to thank my own club, Wroughton Bowls Club who I know will be giving me all the support they can for the 2024 season.

I would like to welcome my Senior Vice President Danny Holland and Junior Vice Dave Longhurst to complete the Presidential team and I look forward to their support.

Finally, I would like to wish every member of Bowls Wiltshire a great 2024 season and I look forward to seeing as many of you as I can in the coming season.

Thank you,

Andy Watson

A message from Bev Lilley – Bowls Wiltshire Ladies County President 2024

Dear Ladies,

What an honour and a pleasure to be your President for 2024. Devizes has been fortunate to have had other worthy lady Presidents and I hope that, I too, can emulate them during the forthcoming season.

Welcome to our newly qualified County bowlers. It may no longer be necessary to be on the County register as a badged player to play in County matches but the achievement of gaining your badge is immense.

Congratulations to all of you who were successful in domestic and National competitions during the 2023 season and let’s hope this year we can get back to our winning ways in the Walker Cup, John’s Trophy, SWCL and Amy Rose. I know we can do it, we have dedicated, committed players in all these teams and together we will triumph!!

To the hard, working ladies committee, who work tirelessly behind the scenes, a big thank you.

To all of you, I wish you success, have fun along the way and enjoy one another’s company.

Happy Bowling!!

Bev
