Worthing Unified Open Bowls Tournament
11/04/09 12:01
Welcome to our new website!
Thank you all for being patient while the while we have been working on the new website. Special thanks to the lovely and very clever Vicky Lamburn who has been instrumental in bringing the site to life and working with me (Tony) to progress it. I can assure you Vicky has had to be so, so patient giving me an idea of how to do things and I thank her for that. She gave a lot of her own time to get to where we are and the Tournament are very grateful for all her help setting it up and the assistance she has promised for the future. Thank you Vicky! By way of background Vicky is “the” IT Officer for Worthing Borough Council and recently won a National award for her design of the WBC site. Thanks are also due to Worthing Borough Council and Continental Landscapes for their considerable assistance in re-aligning the tournament. Appreciation from all of us is similarly due to Mark Brown an IT graphical Artist with Worthing Borough Council who was of significant help in producing new posters, leaflets, entry forms etc. for the revamped tournament. Thank you Mark.
LATE BREAKING NEWS: The prize fund has been guaranteed at £5000.00 for the tournament subject to funding. This means all the competition prize monies from last year’s Mens Open Tournament have been raised. A NEW Tournament purse for Worthing’s newest Bowls Tournament.
We have been asked by Bowls England to retract the first sentence of the second paragraph of text on the entry form and qualify it with the following, "Once the two years of the company's incorporation has passed (July 2009) either the Counties shall become a Unified body and elect one Authorised Representative or the Board at their discretion may extend the period for the Counties to commence unification. The Board envisage that all Counties will at least have commenced the unification process within the two year period. After this two year period the Board foresee that communication will be channelled by email through one administrator per Geographical County and meeting costs will be paid accordingly. Whilst the Board have the discretion of extending the period for Counties to unify this cannot be made indefinite due to the fact that all agreed to form a company limited by guarantee for the purpose of unification."
If you have any difficulty understanding what the statement means please feel free to contact me or Bowls England direct on 01903 820222 or by leaving a message on their website www.bowlsengland.com
The 1st May, 2009 and the entries are beginning to come in now at a steady trickle that will no doubt turn to a torrent as we near the closing date so don’t sit around thinking about it, make a positive decision to enter one, two, three or all the competitions and come and test your skill and maybe if you have a little bit of luck now and then! As you know 5000 entry forms have been sent out to clubs in all the English Counties south of Birmingham and we are hoping that word of mouth and this website will help to gather those who haven’t heard into the fold!
If you are reading this and have a website of your own (doesn’t have to be connected subject wise) please feel at liberty to add our link to your pages and help us to spread the word. We will be happy to reciprocate and if you just drop us a line on the contact page we’ll add you to the growing family!
