It’s that time of year again to make our New Year’s Resolutions and I hope I can keep this one???
To work together with the Bowls Family across all codes and other Disability Groups to make our sport truly inclusive throughout England.
At the moment we have 250 playing members across 26 Counties supported by 71 Volunteers and 169 disabled friendly clubs, tomorrow we launch our Bowlers with a Disability Campaign 2022, and with everyone help and support we are setting ourselves a very ambitious target of having 12 playing members in all 35 counties in England by the end of 2022.
We will be shortly sending out the membership renewal forms which will be valid for two years (1 Jan 2022 – 31 Dec 2023) which will allow us to plan ahead and show us which areas where more work and support needs to be done.
I hope you will continue to be a member of DBE as we go into one of the biggest years for Bowls, with two para home nations and the Commonwealth Games at Royal Leamington Spa that will showcase our inclusive “Team England Bowls Squad” to a worldwide audience.
Happy New Year
“We are Stronger Together”
