The Cheshire County Bowling Association exists to promote, organise and govern Crown Green Bowls in its area. It operates in conjunction with the British Crown Green Bowling Association.
We run several competitions for Cheshire bowlers:
- Team knockouts
- Brunner Cup - the premier competition
- De-Knoop Cup - for reserve teams
- Norman Cup - for first-round losers in the Brunner Cup
- Individual competitions
- Inter-league competition
We also enter senior and junior teams in the BCGBA county competition.
The dates of these competitions (and other events) for the 2009 season are now available.
After many years sterling service to the association, Chris Raddy has announced that he will be retiring as honorary secretary at the next AGM (October 2009).
So we are looking for a new candidate. Anyone who is interested is invited to speak to Chris, to find out what the job entails. Ideally, we would like some overlap, so that the new secretary can work with Chris for the remainder of this season.
The Cheshire qualifying round for this competition was held at Barrow BC on 10 June. Bernie McLean of Overton qualified for the final day. This takes place at Prees Cricket & Recreation Club on Wednesday 1 July.
Tony Bryning is the county’s Chief Development Officer. He presented his report for 2008 to the council meeting on 14 October.
