Thank you to Heathfield for hosting our bowls finals weekend, like all best laid plans and a packed weekend schedule with the sad passing of our Queen it meant that the National Finals were impacted as some of our finalists were involved in the finals in Leamington, unbeknown to me changes had been made to the schedule so that I could attend the last day of the Nationals to support my club members in the Nation Mixed 4s which they went on to win…also meant that a couple of finals were delayed and thank you to everyone involved in allowing this to happen, not everyday we get National winners in the district.
