100 years of Surrey County Bowls

“On 15 March 1911, a group of enthusiastic and voluntary club representatives met in a smoke-filled room at the Falcon Hotel, Clapham Junction, under the Chairmanship of HR Selley (South London), later to become Sir Harry Selley MP. The meeting represented the foundation of the Surrey County Bowling Association. WH Graham (Temple) was also present; he would be the new body’s first Secretary”

 So begins our account of 100 years of Surrey bowling. The rest – as they say – is history, and that history is retold in our Centenary Booklet to be launched at our Gala Dinner at Savill Court on 22 January 2011.

 Ø  Make sure you are there by getting your tickets from Mike McDonagh

Latest News on the new County Baseball Caps

After a number of alternative versions (colours) for our new County Baseball Caps and, after canvassing a good number of members, a decision has now been made on the most popular version. To coincide with the same colours as our new county playing shirts and jackets, the cap itself will be maroon and have the county badge on the front, with a maroon and blue peak with gold piping. The cost is a respectable £4.95 and an order has been placed. They are expected to be delivered early in the New Year. Most of the caps have been pre-ordered but David Candeland is willing to receive further orders. The caps can be sold to anyone, not necessarily only badged players. If you are interested (and have not already ordered a cap), then please give Dave Candeland a call on (020) 8656 7766 (home) or 07941 349118 (mobile).

The English Bowls Youth Development Scheme

A new page has been added to this website which will be of great interest to those Clubs who have youngsters in the age group of 10 - 18. It is well worth a look. You will find an EBYDS drop down tag on the Support menu or go straight there from here.

Do have a look  -  it may be very beneficial to your youth bowlers.

Dress Code

After months of discussion and planning, the January Meeting of the F. & G.P. Committee gave the final sanction to go ahead with the new style County coloured shirts and jackets from the beginning of the 2009 season. Substantial numbers of both shirts and jackets have now been ordered and received.  

If you haven’t yet ordered your requirements then there is still time to do so. County subsidised prices are just £12.50 for a shirt and £21.00 for a jacket. Please note, however, that these prices will only be available until the end of the 2009 summer season after which the cost will revert to the original price. It is highly recommended, therefore, to place your order as soon as possible. You can still apply to Jim Green at 5, The Glebe, Ewhurst, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6 7PY or contact him on 01483 276605. A small supply of shirts and jackets for hire will be available at each match at a cost of £2.50 per garment.

As a result, the new Dress Code is set out as hereunder :-

Dress Code for Middleton Cup, Senior Home Counties League AND Inter-County Friendlies  

is now :-

Off the Green : Blazer, grey trousers, white shirt with County tie.

On the Green : New style County coloured shirt and new style County coloured jacket (both can be purchased or hired) with white trousers and socks with white, brown or grey shoes. Waterproof clothing and any headgear (if worn) should be white.

Exceptions

For Middleton Cup matches as above but white shoes must be worn.

 

In the final stages of Bowls England National Championships at Worthing shirts may be either the new style County coloured shirt (and jacket), properly authorised Club coloured shirts or plain white shirts with white trousers and white shoes. In team games in these Championships, (pairs, triples and fours), all players of the same team should wear the same attire.

Please note that for President’s matches, Patrons matches, Past President’s and any other matches the playing attire will be white shirts, with appropriate tie, and white trousers and socks. Same attire as above for ‘off the green’.

For all Under 25’s matches, players will be given an ‘old style’ coloured shirt to play on the green but they should wear white or grey trousers as indicated on their selection sheet. Junior players should, where ever possible, observe the Dress Code as above for ‘off the green’.
