President
Barney Wymer’s charity for 2023 is “Nelson’s Journey”
If you are
not aware Nelson’s Journey Nelson’s Journey is a
local charity that supports children and young people in Norfolk who’ve
experienced the death of a significant person.
They provide a range of resources and services, and accept referrals
from families and professionals for those who may need our support. Since 1997,
Nelson’s Journey has helped thousands of bereaved children and young people in
the county. It is thanks to the tremendous support of our local community that
our work is possible.
Over the course of the season, Barney has raised the fantastic sum
£2,213.22 which he has been delighted to pass on to Nelson’s Journey
Barney says:
“I would like to give a big thank
you all and really appreciate the support you have given me in the
last months and to those who donated prizes for
raffles, giving personal donations and the generous sum raided by our
County Tourists. This helped me raise £2.213.22 for the local charity Nelson's
Journey, which supports children who have suffered bereavement, and which
I have been able to pass on to them.
I feel very honoured to have been
your President over the last 12 months and thank you once again for your
wonderful support”
Clubs Meeting held on Sunday 24th September 2023
Synopsis
and Summary of matters raised and discussed
Attendance: County Officers & 24
representatives from Clubs
1. Report by Hon. Secretary
(John Ottaway)
Norfolk Bowls Association
The 2023
season ran smoothly with no major issues with all Competitions and League
completed on schedule. Our thoughts will now turn to the 2024 season with the
programme now being worked on.
There are
matters under consideration by the Management Committee, namely:
Jermy Cup
Entries
have greatly diminished over recent years and some Clubs who entered in 2023
were forced to concede matches due to problems raising teams.
This
competition has been reviewed by the Management Committee who believes it to be
no longer viable in its current format. Therefore, the Committee is proposing
that it be played as a 1 rink mixed fours competition of 2 men/2 ladies in line
with our other County Championships.
A
formal proposition will be submitted to the AGM in December for adoption for
the 2024 season including changes to the Jermy Cup rules
Dress Code
The
requirement to get County Approval to Club coloured clothing no longer applies.
Bowls England have issued detailed guidelines as to what is permitted so far as
coloured clothing is concerned and these guidelines will apply to our County
Championships that lead to the National finals and those competitions run
direct by Bowls England.
Guidance
has already been circulated to Clubs on what is and is not permitted
Our
Competition Regulations will need to be amended and the required changes will
be presented to the AGM in December.
Our
internal Competitions (Bales Cup, Fermoy Cup & Jermy Cup) are not subject
to Bowls England Competition Regulations and we determine our own rules so far
as dress is concerned and it seems logical and for consistency that the dress
for these and the County League should be the same as for the main County
Championships so again changes to the rules for these events will be presented
to the AGM.
Competition Prizes
The
prizes presented to individual Competition winners & runners- up include
tankards. This has been reviewed will change from 2024 and we will now present
the winners and runners up with a cash equivalent with the amounts still to be
determined. Winners will continue to receive individual medals along with the
bannerette for their club
2023 Annual General Meeting
Nominations
Nominations for the Officer positions have now
closed and there are vacancies for 3 key positions:-
Junior Vice President – No nomination has been received and the Management
Committee will seek someone to fill this position
Match Secretary – David Naunton has decided to stand down and so
this important position will become vacant and needs to be filled
Group Representatives
John Mason is standing down as Group 1
Representative and Ian Groves (County Arts) has been ‘nominated’ to take his.
Representatives for the other 3 groups is unlikely to change
Safeguarding Officer
I have taken the safeguarding training and have the
required DBS checks and I am covering this position in the short term but will
seek to fill this role on a permanent basis
Motions
Any Motions to the AGM must be received by 15th
October and to the League AGM by 5th November
Website
It is felt that our website is a bit tired, dated and not really
compatible with mobile devices. We are therefore undertaking a review as to a
possible upgrade which is in its early stages and I will report further in due
course
County
programme 2024
A draft is being produced but is subject to change
depending on entries made. This will be published as soon as possible.
Middleton
Cup
This continues as a Group format in 2024. Mark
Turner will continue as Manager and our home match will be played at County
Arts
Eastern
Counties League
This will continue in 2024 but Huntingdonshire
& Cambridgeshire have withdrawn leaving only 5 counties. The effect of the
withdrawals will be discussed at the ECBA AGM in November and we will have to
wait and see if changes to the League result.
County Tour
The President’s Tour was reinstated in 2023 and
Derek Ryder is in the process of organising a tour in May 2024. Brian Howes has
stood down as Tour Manager and John Mason has taken on this role and if anyone
is interested in joining the tour party then please contact John Mason
Bowls
England
Working
parties
Bowls
England have set up various working parties involving all levels of the game
from players ,administrators, umpires to review a range of topics. These
working parties are on-going and will present recommendations for changes
Competitions
This
is a review of the Bowls England Competitions and any recommendations will
require County approval prior to implementation in 2025.
As
and when recommendations are received, the views of Clubs & Players will be
sought.
In
the meantime BE have issued a survey to get members views and this can be
accessed via the BE website and I would urge anyone interested to participate
Affiliations
This
is looking at the whole Affiliation process and I continue to press BE on the
issues we have in the County particularly for Clubs playing Federation bowls to
ensure these are fully considered by the working group.
A
reminder – the Bowls England affiliation fee will increase to £7.00 per player
next year and David Naunton will issue the relevant paperwork in early 2024
Disciplinary
Hopefully,
the working party will recommend a more simplified process
Governance
This
relates to BE internal governance processes and should have little direct
effect on County operations
Bowls Big weekend
Several
of our Clubs participated with I understand a varying degree of success. This
will take place again in May 2024 and I would urge Clubs to consider taking
part as it is a way to attract new members. If more Clubs do participate then
it may be possible to have some form our County wide publicity to promote the
event
Communications
Bowls England communicate direct with Clubs through
the Club Contact as shown on each Club’s page on the Bowls England website.
It is the Clubs responsibility to keep the contact
details up to date and this has to be done on-line via the website, via the
Club/County Profile Log in prompt.
Clubs have been notified direct of their unique
log-in details and Clubs are urged to ensure the contact details are up to date
so information sent is received by the correct person.
If Clubs have any issues to be raised with Bowls
England then these should be addressed to the BE Clubs Officer - Jas Batt (jasbir.batt@bowlsengland.com)
Staff
There
have been several staff changes at Bowls England and Helen Slimm will be
leaving in October
- Report
by Hon. Competition Secretary (John George)
2023 Season
This
went smoothly will all Competitions completed on schedule
2024 Season
The
programme for 2024 is now being worked on and will be completed and published
once all entries are received (after the closing date of 1st
December) Clubs are urged to complete and submit entries by this date to enable
these to be checked prior to the relevant draws being made in early 2024
Assuming
the motion to change the Jermy Cup to a mixed fours competition is passed at
the AGM, the relevant entry form will then be issued
Consideration
will be given as to whether more than one round of the 2 bowl singles can be
played on a single evening (or possibly a weekend)
- Report by Hon. League Secretary
(Mark Elliott)
2023 season
The
Season went well with all league fixtures being completed within the dates as
per the league rules despite a few postponements due to the weather. My
congratulations go to all the zone winners and to Norfolk Bowling Club B and
West Winch for winning the W P Baker Cup and the Hansells Cup respectively.
2024 League structure
The
League format for 2024 and the draft League structure for 2024 is attached.
This is still in DRAFT as is dependent on Clubs submitting entries to the
League which do not close until 1st December. At this point, the
structure for 2024 will be determined and presented to the League AGM in
December.
There
are particular issues surrounding the South 1 & 2 and Central Zones with
currently an in sufficient number of teams to make these 3 zones viable. Hence,
once all team entries are received the structure of these 3 zones will be
reviewed and it is possible that these be amalgamated into 2 zones which may
result in each zone comprising 9 teams resulting in an additional 2 matches in
each zone. If this does arise then the additional dates will be incorporated into
the league programme, probably played on a Monday. However, it must be stressed
that this is dependent on the league entries made
2024 League AGM motions
League – number of ends
A
motion has been submitted for presentation to the League AGM that all League
Matches be played over 18 ends rather than 21 to bring this into line with
other 4’s events (County/Senior Fours, Bales Cup, Jermy Cup & Fermoy Cup).
It will be for Clubs to consider this and vote accordingly at the AGM
Postponed matches
The
rule whereby postponed matches have to played ‘one week prior to the last
scheduled league date’ to be changed to ‘prior to the last scheduled league
date’ so as to give Clubs more time to arrange postponed matches particularly
those postponed late in the season
Late Arrivers
The
rules are not particularly clear as to players arriving late for a league match
and if the start should be delayed or the match started with the players
present and the playing format that should be adopted.
Changes
are being considered to clarify what should occur and these will be presented
to the League AGM
- Report
by Hon. Treasurer (David Naunton)
County
income is primarily from Affiliation Fees & Competition entries, amounting
to approx. £3,000 per annum. Costs are increasing but the County Affiliation
Fee will remain at £2.00 per playing member in 2024, which has been unchanged
for many years. However, with increasing costs this will need reviewing and may
have to increase in future years
- Report
by Hon. Match Secretary (David Naunton)
The
2023 County Friendly Match programme was successfully completed and the 2024
programme is being worked upon.
There
will be changes in 2024. For away matches, Counties travelling to Norfolk and
Norfolk travelling to away matches present a problem with players reluctant to
travel long distance and it’s likely that the number of matches will reduce to
only 6. More details will be provided at the AGM.
Having
held the Match Secretary position for several years, David has decided to stand
down at the AGM. This is an important position that needs to be filled. If
there is anyone interested in taking on this important position then please let
David know who will be able to provide more details

a single shot. The other semi-final was not so close as Bradwell, always ahead
against Hunstanton, won by 8 shots
The final saw West Winch open an early lead, which they never
relinquished and ran out comfortable winners by 13 shots.
