The last Bastion of British Amateur Sport
The last Bastion of British Amateur Sport, I have always played and enjoyed competitive sport, it’s a great social leveller, and I have particularly enjoyed playing bowls for over 20 years. My father, who was also a keen and well known bowler, once said to me “No one remembers how you win, but everyone remembers how you lose”……..It took me some time to realise how right he was ! You see, playing bowls should be much more than just winning or losing but simply enjoying the experience of playing the game and all it has to offer. So, remember “Play up, play up and play the game” and enjoy your BOWLS - The last Bastion of British Amatuer Sport. ( Dave Kelsey President)
