Dear Fellow bowlers,
I am honoured to be the 2026 Home Counties Chairman.
I am a member of Suttons Bowling Club in the Royal County of Berkshire.
Like all the Home Counties Chairman before me, I would like to the thank the HCBA member Counties and in turn their members for their on going partcipation and support which enables the HCBA to exist.
My own County, use the HCBA, their Senior league, as a stepping stone towards playing in the Middleton Cup and Balcomb Trophy. Our aim is to ensure our bowlers have the opportunity to play at the Highest County standard with the next step being International recognition.
Hopefully, during the season, I will meet as many of you as possible either at our finals day on May 10th at Old Couldson BC, Surrey or at one of our representative matches throughout the season.
I must take this opportunity to thank my fellow Officers and delegates without whom the Assocation could not function.
I enjoy playing in Friendlies against other Counties.
I hope that all the experience I have gained from my various roles will enable me to be a good Chairperson. I certainly intend to do everything I can to ensure it is a good and enjoyable year.
I wish you a successful 2026 Season, may it bring you good health and good times on and off the green.
Best Wishes
Rob
