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.

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’.
