English Bowls Youth Development Scheme 2022

The Hampshire EBYDS School of Excellence Invitation Singles was held at
Banister Park IBC on Sunday 3 April 2022, after a two year wait since the
pandemic

The event was well supported by four Hampshire Indoor Clubs with junior
sections from Loddon Vale, Chawton Park, Riverside and Banister Park

We were delighted and honoured to have both indoor and outdoor Hampshire Officers to support our young bowlers, who are always impressed and grateful for their attendance. Banister looked after us in style with hot drinks and bacon or sausage butties on arrival for the 22 young bowlers and their supporters, and a good choice of menu for lunch. The facilities are always excellent, we could not have asked for more

President Bill Tickner handed over the green and we extend our most grateful thanks to him and the Banister Park IBC committee for providing the facilities free of charge in support of our juniors

We were treated to an excellent display of bowling and green etiquette it was a pleasure and a privilege to watch, a class workshop on how to smoothly deliver a bowl and a straight jack!

As it was close to Easter all participants received a chocolate bunny with their certificates, and each winner and runner up an easter egg with their trophies. Our grateful thanks as always go to the coaches, markers and umpires who volunteer their expertise and time without which we could not run these events.

We would like to thank Kenneth Warren, Vice President of Banister Park for the photographs.
