The past 2 years have presented many challenges for society in general and the sport of lawn bowls has been no less affected by the global pandemic. Whilst many challenges remain for member clubs of the NIPGBL, there is much room for optimism as we approach the 2022 season.

On behalf of my club Ulster Transport and on a personal level I consider it a great honour to serve as your President for 2022 and wish all clubs success for the coming season.
