First Time!

The brand new clubhouse at Allscott Heath – pictured – will play host to an important pre-season meeting.

A meeting of the county executive will be held there on Monday 11th March 11, after a request from Shropshire association chairman Phil Scott.

Chris Hayward, the Allscott Heath bowls chairman, said: “We would be more than happy to host this meeting at our new facilities . . . and look forward to welcoming everyone.”

Before then, the AGM of the SCGBA is on Saturday 3rd February at the Salop Unison Club, which is by the Shirehall in Shrewsbury, starting at 11am.

Meanwhile, the situation regarding DBS renewals and applications for bowls this year was finalised at this week’s county executive meeting.

They are going to be done in person this year but, as DBS checker Phil Scott is so busy, he is only going to be doing one session.

That is on Saturday 17th February from 8am in the community room at the big Tesco supermarket in Battlefield, Shrewsbury (the room is at the far end of the store, beyond the checkouts)

He told the meeting that clubs would be able to book people in for appointments by logging into their club page on the SCGBA website.
