SADBA FINALS DAY – 7th September 2024

SADBA Finals day was once again held at Harpenden Bowls Club, on Saturday 7th September. It was a great day following a superb Jones Cup final, also at Harpenden BC, on the evening before.

Harpenden BC made us all welcome and provided a super Green and very kind and warm support. The Ladies in the kitchen did a great job looking after all of us throughout the day, the green was manicured before we arrived and the events ran smoothly.

The standard of bowling and sportsmanship was fantastic and our thanks to all the bowlers for this. There were a good number of spectators all day and a lovely atmosphere both on and around the Green.

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
