Important AGM Update -
Information regarding the forthcoming AGM has now been emailed to all Club Secretaries. If you haven't received the email please let me know as soon as possible. Please ensure you bring this information with you to the meeting.

A few clubs have asked about the plan for reorganising the divisional structure. Basically it is planned to return to the same season format as that used in 2019 - (pre- pandemic) season with 3 divisions, Pairs at the start and end of the season, all the various Cup competitions (Presidents cup, Harold Jones cup, Sheppick cup, Association Cup and Wallasey News Cup) additionally we want to ensure the individual competitions are run in the same way as in 2023. The final version of this plan is still to be discussed at the next Wallasy committee meeting on the 15th November.
Wallasey Treasurer - To date (8/11/23) there has been no expressions of interest in taking this important role. Please do not assume that "someone" will do it. If you feel you could assist please put your name forward. (Email to wallaseybowls@outlook.com). For information the current Wallasey Secretary does NOT want to do the treasurers job and without someone in position the Wallasey Association will be unable to function.
Wallasey Committee - There has been a number of expressions of interest in joining the Wallasey Committee and this will be dealt with at the AGM as necessary
