We have already shared the 2 comments that came with the YES votes so today we include all the comments that came with the NO votes.


Do you think that the YCCGBA is fit for purpose?

Why do you think that?

  • They are set in there Ways and reluctant to change

  • Little or no communication with clubs.

  • Poor communications, working in the interests of the YCCGBA not the interests of clubs

  • No iNteraction at club level sold out to Bowls England

  • What do they do nothing constuctive

  • After being Secretary of my local club for 8 years, I cannot recollect ever having any direct correspondence from them. In that time I believe that the club has paid over £400 in fees, for what, I do not know. Not only does this comment apply to YCCGBA but also to BCGBA. I appreciate that we need a governing body, but do we need two, I think not.

  • no help It's a job I would not do so I don't want to criticise

  • No credibility so no-one is going to follow their lead.

  • Because they don't seem interested in actually doing anything

  • Not enough information

  • As a club Secretary apart from asking for annual fees I have never had any communication from them or contact with them at all. We have paid for books from YCCGBA and BCGBA but never seen any in 4 years, since someone who knew somebody!! retired We don’t know where to get them.

  • Probably because younger people will not put their name forward to do some of the jobs that do take a good bit of time and patience.

  • Not up for the job.

  • Little interest in grassroots bowling.

  • Little enthusiasm or vision.

  • Shoddy work in many aspects.

  • Many of the Hierarchy who run the YCCGBA are of an age where they do not see how the association could be run in such a way to attract new and younger bowlers. Maybe it is a time for change.

  • Need younger members with positive energy and fresh ideas

  • Don’t really know what they do and are responsible for.

  • They don’t impact, in a good way or a bad way, on me or my Club

  • Just money making

  • Bowling is a simple game and does not need salaried people to run it.

  • These days there is really not much positive information comes from them all they seem to do is make the odd changes and look at ways to increase fees to pay themselves fees and expenses and not put any new income into bowling.

  • For a very long time the association has favoured and basically been run primarily for clubs in the Huddersfield district

  • I don’t understand what YCCGBA does

  • They are simply about taking subs to pay out there honorariums

  • No advice or leadership has been forthcoming after the new announcement by the Government as regards to when bowling can start. Every local league has to make their own decisions.

  • I have little knowledge of the actually work undertaken by the YCCGBA, but if the points above are true then I'm very disappointed in the organisation and see no long term future for the sport if things continue down the same path.

The Poll will close at 10pm on Friday and the full results will be made available over the weekend. Vote Now
