The Stamford & District Bowls League held its 76th AGM on Wednesday 12th November at the Danish Invader, Stamford; Chairman Charlie Underwood welcomed club representatives and, after a minute’s silence in memory of those members no longer with us, trophies were presented to this season’s winners.

The Stamford League had a very successful season, with the long period of dry weather ensuring few cancellations. Following reports from the committee members, there were discussions about possible changes to the league format to extend the playing season and it was decided that, in 2026, the league would change to two divisions (one of 14 teams and the other 13 teams). There were also some modifications to the dress code and clarifications of the rules on substitutes.

Chairman Charlie Underwood thanked retiring President Michael “Dusty” Miller for his work over the past year and welcomed new President James Henderson, from Wittering Bowls Club. Dusty Miller handed over his chain of office, then presented a cheque for £1810 for Prostate Cancer.

Secretary Nina Rawlins presented Charlie Underwood with gifts from the Stamford League on his retirement as Chairman after many years of service.

New members appointed to the committee, in addition to the new President, were Phil Hoare (Ketton BC) as Chairman and Chris Fleckney (Carlby BC) as Treasurer. All other members of the committee were re-elected to their positions.
