I will endeavour to continue the excellent work of my predecessors and thank both Sylvia and Tony for their help and guidance through my year as Senior Vice president. I look forward to working with Peter who is my SVP this year. I owe a great deal of thanks to my club St Neots for proposing me for this important role. It is reassuring to know that I have the full support of the club and its members to carry out my Presidential duties. My thanks also go to the Officers of the county who work tirelessly to make the game available and enjoyable to everyone that wishes to participate. As I meet other officers from various Counties they comment on unification and how well Bowls Cambridgeshire has progressed and is still progressing through the changes I hope that members realise the value and amount of the work undertaken by the Officers and without their efforts the county would not function effectively. Over the past few years Cambridgeshire Bowlers have achieved success at International, European, and World levels being represented by both genders in these events. We should be proud to acknowledge their achievements, as they not only represent themselves; they are ambassadors for their clubs and County as well as Bowls England. It is important that we maintain a legacy for future generations in order that they can play bowls at venues that are convenient to them. Every club in the county is important regardless of its size and playing ability, it is essential that all clubs are supported in their efforts to attract new members and I have a plea for all existing bowlers to encourage friends and acquaintances to visit their club so that they can enjoy the sport of bowls and its associated social activities. Finally I wish everyone good health, good bowling, and hopefully good weather. I look forward to seeing many old faces and welcoming new faces to the greens this year.

Dear Members, It gives me great pleasure in presenting to you my report of the activities of Bowls Cambridgeshire for 2011. I am extremely pleased with the way the governing body for Bowls in Cambridgeshire is evolving. There is still practices and procedures that need further work which your executive will work to ensure the best solutions are found for all our members. Membership:- Clubs - 39 (43) Members 1609 (1807) Four Clubs did not affiliate to the County for the year and it resulted in a fall of membership of 198. Presidents We have been fortunate to have had an exceptional President, in Tony Taylor, Tony has been exemplary in the way he carried out the duties President, a month attending the national championships supporting Bowls Cambridgeshire players and circulating amongst the other County officials attending both championships. The first male County president to grace the greens officially at Leamington. I am indebted to Tony along with his team of Sue, Peter and Sylvia for all the good work they have done for Bowls in Cambridgeshire. International events Ellen Falkner (St Neots) has been selected to represent England in the Atlantic Rim Championships in Cyprus played in October. Richard Catton (Cambridge & County) has been selected to represent England in the European Team championships in Portugal we wish them both well and hope they return with a bounty of medals (I will update in my 2012 report). Jayne Christie (St Neots), and Ellen Falkner both represented England at the International series in Wales. Richard Catton represented England in the International series in Edinburgh, whilst Robert Drew (Cambridge & County) and Richard Catton both played in the Junior Series held at Worthing Pavilion. Sue Alexander (St Neots), Chris Chapman (Chesterton), Jamie Stewart (Cambridge & County), were invited to attend England trials. Congratulations to all. The British Isle Championships were held at Sighthill BC Edinburgh. Our 2010 National fours champions played the Weale brothers from Wales in the prelim round. The game was played on a tricky green and the Welsh skip Robert Weale was perhaps the only player to constantly find the lines.

County Fixtures A full programme (56 matches in total) of competitive and friendly matches where arranged for the 2011 season. Competitively the women reached the regional final of the Walker Cup only to lose to Herts well done. The Johns and Middle England League results where disappointing. The Amy Rose at Leamington also saw a early exit. The men’s Middleton Cup, Eastern Counties League, White Rose and ECL under 30’s results were extremely disappointing. Page 18 However the County friendly’s and President’s matches were enjoyed by all the members who took part. I would like to thank those clubs that hosted our home fixtures and those Clubs celebrating events. I would like also to thank Match Secretary, Barbara and match official, John for their efforts over the year. Competitions I must start with a big thank you to Dot Careless our Competition Secretary and her team or recorders, Denise Hinks, Margaret Southgate, Barry Grimwood and Philip Harper-Scott for the leagues for ensuring all the competitions reach the final stages in a timely manner. A championship roll of honour will be submitted by Dot. I would also like to personally thank Newmarket Avenue BC for hosting the County finals. Leamington was the start of a great week for Bowls Cambridgeshire with Sue Alexander and Ellen Falkner (St Neots BC) wining the National mother and Daughter pairs. Ellen had not won a national singles title over her illustrious career however like buses two came at once. Ellen won the two wood singles championships followed by lifting the National Singles Championship a great feat congratulations. We wish Ellen every success when she represents England in the British Isle championships in Northern Ireland. It could very well have been a all Cambridgeshire National singles final, but alas Jayne Christie (St Neots BC) was beaten in the Semi-final, well done Jayne. In the ladies pairs Eileen Taylor and Jean Stephens (Newmarket Avenue BC) and Robert Drew in the Junior singles reached the national championship quarter finals, I would also like congratulate Fordham BC for qualifying in the new competition for the Tony Allcock trophy, the over 60’s mixed fours double rink. To all the players and teams who qualified for Leamington and Worthing congratulations. Eastern Counties Championship, Cambridgeshire had two representatives in the semi-finals the fours from March Town and the pairs from Newmarket Avenue. Neither teams were able to play. County Luncheon This event was held at the Cambridge Motel, Shepreth and was our first unified luncheon and prize presentation. Bowls England President Joan Balding was our guest, the day was very successful. Bowls Cambridgeshire presented it’s first award of merit, this award went to Cathy Fraser (Chesterton BC) for her outstanding contribution to bowls in our county. I would like to thank John Southgate and his committee that dealt with the organisation of the event. General Your delegates to Bowls England also sit on the International Events committee. Can I also remind you that Bowls England hold a ‘open’ conference each year in April, further information will be available on the BE website. I would also like to thank all the clubs and their executive committees who turned over their facilities to the County during the year. The Executive committee and sub committees work extremely hard for bowls in our county and I would like to thank those members for their support and help. May I wish you all a good winter and I look forward to seeing you in 2012.
