The following NIPGBL players have been selected to represent Ireland in the British Bowls International Series to be held in Ayr, Scotland from Thursday 25th June – Sunday 28th June.
Read MoreNow that the season is well underway could I ask all clubs to carefully check their registration / capitation figures. Our new player tracking system has indicated that 14 clubs have already played more players than they have registered.
Hopefully this has just been a result of new members joining after the club accounts were paid. It should be noted that no club should be using more players than registered. Additional fees should be forwarded to the Treasurer asap.
A further review will be carried out towards the end of the season and any missing payments will be added to club 2027 invoices.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
John Nicholl.
Due to a clash of dates involving the IBA U25 Assessment Day on Sunday 24th May
and the IBA U18 International Practice on Sunday 5th July, the following competitions
will need to be rescheduled to accommodate these events.
Competitors are requested to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled starting time.
I thank NICS Bowling Club for nominating me to represent you all as the Northern Ireland Private Greens Bowling League President for 2026.
While I feel honoured and privileged to see my name alongside the Presidents who have held this position, I think of the previous members of my club who have been President namely E McNaw (1965), J H Graham (1988) and most recently D Forsythe (2012).
I look forward to visiting every PGL club throughout the season and I will endeavour to represent them as well as the Association to the best of my ability.
Finally, I wish all our members, good health, good weather, enjoyable bowling and every success in whatever competition you may enter in the 2026 season.
Arthur Rice - President
