North London Bowling Club
Trustees Annual Report 2023
As mentioned in our 2022 report, from November 2022 to February 2023 the club undertook its most ambitious programme of renovation work in 50 years. All ditches and banks were replaced by specialist sports contractors in order to bring our bowling green up to regulation standards.
The club is now employing a consultant greenkeeper to raise the standard of the bowling green itself so that it provides one of the best bowling green surfaces in London and Middlesex.
Club membership has grown to 153 but as we experience a churn of 20+ members per annum, often due to retirement from the sport, we are always mindful of the efforts which must be made throughout the year to replace former members with new members.
The club is also concerned that new members should develop into good competitive bowlers, able to represent the club in local, county and national competitions. To that end the club has arranged a high number of entrants for these competitions and this has paid off in improved performances and a larger pool of players from which to select teams.
As before our women have performed better than our men and this year were the Middlesex winners of the Bowls England top club competition, and finalists in the Middlesex double rink.
After four years as a very hands-on leader our club President, Ivor Seddon, is not standing again and his successor will be Brigitte Ascher who was previously club secretary for 9 years. We therefore look forward to continuity in the administration of the club.
