Bowlers are now being invited to put their names down if they wish to be considered for selection in the summer 2020 Outdoor matches.

Delegates have been issued with Availability sheets for sharing among Club members and to put on Club Notice Boards to collate names for each match.  These are then submitted to Brian Burfoot by the due date for each match.

There are two documents cover covering the season.  Here they are:   SADBA Availability SHEET May -July – 2020 and SADBA Availability SHEET August – 2020

In addition there is a personal form that bowlers should complete and return direct.  This enables  bowlers to plan for the season and for the District to track demand in advance of Delegates submitting Club names for each match.   All bowlers are encouraged to complete this and return it to Brian Burfoot.  The personal form with details of all matches is here:  SADBA-Outdoor-Fixtures-2020-Individual-Application-Form

Please note that bowling activities have now been suspended which is expected to impact the programme at least in the early part of the season.  See post here.  Nonetheless you are encouraged to submit your details so we can react in a timely manner when bowling is again possible.
