The Notification Group

Those of you that registered to receive email notification that this website had been updated will not have received one I tried to send recently. The group had grown to over 150 and when trying to mass-blindcopy-send recently (to national & County officials at the same time) the "junk police" have stepped in (with big boots).

  Resumption of normal service is proving problematical !

 

AGM Report.

This is a summary of the changes and discussion at the AGM of 16Nov24. If you are interested in any one item please refer to the Rules & Constitution (when updated) for the exact wording.

  • A £1 levy will be collected from EBF members and will be used to contribute to the North Parade Bowling Green Association (NPGBA). They are in the process of taking over the running of the Suncastle greens from ELDC, who will make a sizeable contribution to NPBGA funds. This will reduce each year. The EBF contribution will initally be £10,000 p.a. Alternate options to the £1 levy increase were discussed but were put forward after the deadline for motions to the AGM. 
  • The contract with the company that made EBF-logo'd shorts has terminated and the stock is now under our control. Ty will be taking these to Lincoln for sale at a price that will be a little less than that of the supplier.
  • Disciplinary actions concerning unacceptable behaviour and non attendance at nationals will now be under NEC control.
  • EBF bowlers who only play indoor may now enter competitions via affiliated indoor clubs. They will be associated members and liable to pay a levy via the indoor club, regardless of any outdoor membership.
