Last Sunday's hosting of the National Women's Top Club and the Boys Under 17s Singles All England Round of 16 matches went very well. The following email was received by our Ladies Captain, Chris Pentelow.
'Hi Chris,
Just a quick message to say a huge thank you to yourself and all the members of Ringwood for your very kind hospitality yesterday.
We were made to feel so welcome and your facilities were great. The green bowled lovely and the homemade cakes were beautiful (the talking point of the car journey home).
Thank you again so much for being so accommodating!
We very much hope our paths cross again in the future.
Many thanks,
Charlie
Ladies' Manager
Banister Park Bowling Club'

__________________________________________
Repeating the email from Dave Witt, regarding parking at Poole Park, which was sent out in a club email at the end of April.
Good afternoon Club Secretaries,
Please be advised that BCP have recently changed the parking regulations within Poole Park which has unfortunately severely restricted the parking facilities not only in the park itself but also in the dedicate bowls parking area.
As a result Poole Park BC can only accommodate 3 cars per away team within the dedicated bowls parking area.
New signage has been erected in the parking restricting general parking to 2 hours therefore regrettably additional / alternative parking will need to be sort in the various Pay & Display Car Parks outside the park. At the moment it is still free parking by the lake (but suspect that is not going to last). On match days first try the bowls club car park and they will always try and get you in but can only guarantee 3 cars per team. Other some street parking which again is restricted the leisure centre is the nearest pay & display.
Poole Park BC have another meeting with BCP before month end. Any update and I will forward it on. Poole Park BC would wish to pass on their apologies to but unfortunately this is outside of their control.
Please pass this on to all your members and we would advise that you consider car-sharing when playing at Poole Park.
Thank you
Dave Whitt

__________________________________________
Hi to you all.
Would you please remind all your league bowlers that it is a Bowls England rule that all bowls in a team carry the same bowls stickers.
World Bowls Laws of the sport of bowls, Fourth Edition, Law 52.1.8.4 states:
(When these (stickers) are used) all bowls belonging to a Singles player or players within a team or side must have these markings on them and the markings must all be the same design and colour.
Roughly translated, this means that, if stickers are used, and there is no requirement for them, all players in the same team must have them. They do not need to be club stickers.
Just my own thoughts. It looks a lot more professional if all club team bowlers use club stickers.
Regards Chris
