Hopes for 2024

Bowling News

I have never been one for making New Year's resolutions but I do still harbour hopes for each New Year and I would like to share my hopes for crown green bowling in Huddersfield for 2024.

• I hope that all the Huddersfield Leagues see an upturn in team numbers for the 2024 season

• I hope that the Huddersfield Veterans League goes ahead with its rebalancing of the Divisions as promised and treats all teams as equals

• I hope that the Yorkshire CCGBA stops using officials' personal bank accounts for the collection of YCCGBA fees

• I hope that the Yorkshire CCGBA produces its first audited Balance Sheet for 4 years and then all the officials resign in shame

• I hope that one individual emerges to lead local bowling back from the brink to unify the clubs and leagues to produce a concentrated assault on the current apathy there is in our sport

• I hope that Leagues stop judging their success by how much money they have in the bank and look towards supporting clubs more through a difficult financial period

• I hope that the Huddersfield Bowling Development Association builds on its initial efforts to promote our sport by holding more open days and coach training sessions

• I hope that the Winter League can find two more host greens to satisfy the insatiable demand from teams to join in the success of winter bowling.
