Presidents for 2024

I am very honoured and humbled to be nominated Bowls Leicestershire Men’s President for 2024.

I would like to thank the Committee and Members of Blaby Bowls Club for nominating me and for the positive support they have given me.

I would like to thank the Bowls Leicestershire Men’s Management Committee for their help during my time as Junior Vice-President and Senior Vice-President; I know I can count on them to assist me through the coming season.

Not forgetting the players, coaches and managers for their support and contribution by giving up their time to participate in county games.  I hope to show them the same support and contribution in return for their efforts.

I moved from Northern Ireland in 2013, where I played for City of Derry Bowls Club. I joined Blaby Bowls Club and I was made welcome from the very moment I stepped through their gates. I have made many new friends from playing for Blaby in the Leicester Leagues and this year I hope to make many more, especially from the clubs in the north of the county. Please say “Hello” if you see me, I normally don’t bite.

As President, I have the opportunity to nominate a charity and this year I will be collecting on behalf of PARKINSON’S UK. This charity is close to me as both my mother and wife have been affected with this terrible disease.  You may know, or not know, that Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disease and there is no cure.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being the Bowls Leicestershire Men’s President for 2024. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during the coming season.
