A Century of Bowling - Royal County of Berkshire Bowling Association

100 Years and still going strong…
Every birthday is special, but a 100th birthday is extra special and a time to be
enjoyed in the company of friends. The Association’s Centenary programme is an
invitation to all members and bowling acquaintances to renew their friendships
and perhaps reflect on what has happened in the past. The purpose of our Association is
to provide enjoyment through challenge, competition and companionship, and this we
hope will be in abundance in our special year.
All our regular competitions and fixtures are still in place, and we shall look forward to
welcoming back to our greens, teams from Bowls England, Berkshire County Women’s
Bowling Association, The Denny Side, Berkshire Vice Presidents and Home Counties Bowling
Association to name but a few.
Please see the back cover for fuller details of these special matches.
In place of the usual Bannerette Matches for 2010 only, we will be holding eight invitation
matches in various parts of the County, inviting a rink from each Club in that locality, to play
against a team picked by the County, again consisting of County and Non-County players.
We hope that this will allow the maximum participation in our special year by all Clubs and
players.
Please enjoy our celebrations both on and off the green and I hope the booklet brings back
many happy memories of times past.
With the support of all the members of The Royal County of Berkshire Bowling Association, I
am sure we will have a truly HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
