As we approach the end of the season could clubs please check their membership numbers and pay any additional capitation fees.
At present our teamsheet records show over 100 players have played in leagues / cups for which clubs did not pay capitation fees at the beginning of the season.
This issue will be on the agenda at the next Management Committee meeting in September.
Honorary Treasurer - John Nicholl.
I am honoured that the G.P. Committee nominated me to represent you all as the Northern Ireland Private Greens Bowling League President for 2025 and thank you all for ratifying that nomination at the A.G.M.
I am following in a long line of distinguished holders of this office and I will endeavour to represent each and every club to the best of my ability.
I pay specific tribute to those from my own club at Old Bleach who have previously held this office, W.T. Hill (1958), W. Patton (1985), T. McIlvenna (2006), M. Nutt (2017) and most recently W.J. Millar (2023).
Can I wish all our clubs every success for the 2025 season both on and off the green; good health to enjoy your bowls and I look forward to visiting as many clubs as I can during the outdoor season.
Mark Tait L.L.B - President
