SADBA ANNUAL CHARITY GALA

Once agaIn we look forward to the Annual SADBA Gala day which this year is to be held on Tuesday 5th September at Harpenden Bowls Club and is in aid of the President’s Charity SENSE that helps people with complex difficulties including deaf blindness.

Teams of three are invited to enter and may be all men, women or mixed at a cost of only £15 a team. Full details of the event and entry forms can be found here: SADBA GALA POSTER 2023. All the SADBA clubs have received details and the poster and entry forms should also be available on your Club noticeboard.

President's Welcome Message

This year, for the first time in our history, we do not have a President in post so matches and other functions during the year will each be led by one of our Officers. We do, however, have a Deputy President, Jan Southwell, who was our President in 2018. Jan is unable to fulfil full Presidential duties this year but looks forward to being our President in 2025.

Despite the fact that we have few new faces wanting to step forward to lead SADBA into the future, we have an exciting and promising year ahead, both outdoors and indoors. As usual our Inter-Club League matches are fully subscribed and our Competition entries are up once again reflecting the keen interest in the association and competitive bowling.

With a Deputy President in place our Bob Vise final will be at Jan’s own Club, Potters Bar, on August Bank Holiday Monday. Our Finals Day will once again be at Harpenden Bowls Club which proved to be an outstanding venue in 2023 with excellent facilities and support from the Club.

M J Woodhams, Secretary & Past President
