Dear Secretaries,
> Missing Bag
A member of Fordingbridge BC has lost a bag containing measuring equipment and a few keepsakes. It is the size of a large make-up bag, has a large "S" on it and has a large "S" key ring attached. A reward awaits the finder, so if anyone has seen it, please reach out to John Bundy This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Thanks.

I shall be standing down at the AGM as Match Secretary of NFBA; purely for personal reasons.
The Association will therefore be looking for someone to take over from me at the AGM. I’d be grateful if you could put the word out in you clubs and if anyone is interested, to kindly contact me.
The role of the Match Secretary is to arrange the friendlies of the Association and to maintain a record of everyone who has played for the Association. It’s obviously essential that they are therefore familiar with email, and Microsoft’s Word and Excel. All of next year’s fixtures have or will be arranged by the time of the AGM and I will be around as Immediate Past President to help the new incumbent, so they therefore won’t be left to do things on their own.
Yours,
Andy
Andy Wilson
President & Match Secretary

Saturday 6th September. B&DBA Morning Mixed B Team at Home versus Pelhams Sea Hawks. A big bounce back by the B Team, after last weeks disappointment, solidified 6th place in the final league match of the season. Rinks 1½ - ½. Shots 40 - 24. Points 5 - 1.
Saturday 6th September. B&DBA Mixed 1st Team Away versus Boscombe Cliff. After 30-odd years of B&DBA 1st Division bowling this disappointing result, from the last game of the season, means relegation to the Premier Section 2. Although finishing on equal with points with Highcliffe, the 1st team's shots difference of -106, sealed their fate. Rinks 3 - 0. Shots 60 - 31. Points 10 - 0.
Saturday 6th September. B&DBA Mixed A Team at Home versus Poole Park B. Like the B Team, the A Team finish the season with a fine win, finishing in 6th place. Rinks 2 - 1. Shots 49 - 37. Points 8 - 2.
Coming Up Next Week
Monday 8th September. RBC Autumn Triples Final. 10:30 start. Featuring John Stone, Amanda Smith and Allan Mason (Sub. for Malcolm Chater) versus Denis Newham, Andy Mackay & Debbie Senior
Sunday 14th September. B&DBA Finals Day. 10.30am start. Featuring Derick Faulkner and Derrick Fulker versus Mark Howard and Cliff Van Wyk in the Over 65 Pairs.

It is with great sadness that I have to report that George Dickson passed away this morning.
George was a renowned, active bowler at Ringwood and an extremely popular member.
George has been unable to play bowls in the last two seasons and he will be fondly remembered by long standing members of the club.
George will be very much missed and our deep condolences go out his wife Pam, his family and friends.
Details of George's funeral will be posted when known.
Kindest regards,
Allan, on behalf of
Amanda Smith (General Secretary)
which will take place on Monday 8th September at 10:30am
Saturday 30th August. B&DBA Morning Mixed B Team Away versus Downton Dragons. No points for the B Team, from this match, but they remain safely in 6th position. Hopefully, they will bounce back in their last match, next Saturday, at Home against Pelhams Sea Hawks. Rinks 2 - 0. Shots 36 - 27. Points 6 - 0.
Saturday 30th August. B&DBA Mixed 1st Team at Home versus Poole Park. Sadly, the 1st Team couldn't maintain the momentum following last week's great win, leaving them in 7th place. With only 3 points difference between 6th and 9th place, an exceptionally good win, away versus league leaders Boscombe Cliff, or favourable results from other matches next Saturday, will determine the 1st Team's fate. Rinks 1 - 2. Shots 46 - 63. Points 2 - 8.
Saturday 30th August. B&DBA Mixed A Team Away versus New Milton B. The A Team lose this rain shortened match but remain in a safe 6th position in the League. Rinks 2 - 1. Shots 37 - 29. Points 8 - 2.
Coming Up Next Week
Sunday 31st August. NFBA League Trophy's Finals at Milford on Sea and Totton & Eling 10:00am start. No Ringwood BC involvement.

Tuesday 19th August. NFWBA Ladies Team at Home versus New Milton. This 4 points win ensures the Ladies of League 'A' bowls next year. A close call, one less point and it would have been relegation. Rinks ? - ?. Shots ?? - ??. Points 4 - 2.
Thursday 21st August. B&DWBA Ladies Team Away versus Ferndown Sapphires. A great maximum points win, in the last game of the season, cements the Ladies in the top position and Triples League Champions for 2025. Rinks 0 - 2. Shots 33 - 49. Points 0 - 6.
Saturday 23rd August. B&DBA Morning Mixed B Team at Home versus West Moors Bees. A great win for the B Team keeps them in the mid table position. Rinks 1 - 1. Shots 38 - 29. Points 4 - 2.
Saturday 23rd August. B&DBA Mixed 1st Team Away versus Highcliffe. Another good win keeps the 1st Team in mid table but they will need to maintain the momentum to ensure safety. Rinks 1 - 2. Shots 44 - 52. Points 2 - 8.
Saturday 23rd August. B&DBA Mixed A Team at Home versus Boscombe Cliff B. A very close game but the A Team take the spoils despite only winning one rink. Rinks 1 - 2. Shots 49 - 46. Points 6 - 4.
