It’s less than 24 hours to go before the League’s annual presentation dinner, to honour the 2023 prize winners, takes place on Saturday at the West Stand @ TUFC – doors opening at 5.30pm, with the meal served from 6.30.
Nearly 160 people are booked in to attend and, although they did not enjoy any major successes last season, it is Bowring who will have the biggest representation on the night with 20 attending, followed by Wrockwardine Wood (15) and Newport (11).
It’s been another fine year for the League with extraordinarily close title races, top class competitions with bigger entries and cracking cup finals – and that’s why officers are excited about the prospect of celebrating it with bowlers, their families and friends.
One highlight of 2023 was Mid Shropshire regaining the Shropshire veterans inter-league championship and first time captain Ian Evan, so proud to get his hands on the Derek Wright Shield, will be attending to receive proper recognition for his team.
The League is subsidising each adult place at the dinner to the tune of £2 . As a consequence, no guests have been invited and, to help cover the shortfall, the night will see the Return Of The Raffle!
Those attending should be aware that last orders at the bar will be at 11.30 and the function will end at 12 midnight.
And please, please, please don’t forget to follow the parking instructions posted on this site on Wednesday.
