President, Andrew Burch (Wrentham Bowls Club)
Dear Bowls Family
In 1989, on my 21st Birthday, my father Peter said `come and have a game of Bowls with me`
My response was `it`s an old man’s game Dad`, however to keep him happy I joined him for a roll up at Wrentham, several roll ups later I was hooked.
So began my love of our great game that has introduced me to many friends in Suffolk and the wider bowls community.
During my time in bowls I’ve been heavily involved in admin for both my club and county and I’ve worked under and beside many influential individuals within the game who’ve helped me to this point, so I’d like to think I’ve served my apprenticeship.
At no point on my journey did I believe I’d be good enough to one day become President of this great association.
My thanks go to all those who have supported me along the way, non more so than members of my club Wrentham and my family, most notably my Father who led me to this moment and I’d hope he would be a very proud man as I am.
I look forward to making many new friends in 2025 and I wish you all an enjoyable year of bowling and I’ll be there along the way supporting all our teams and our individuals as we all try to make the year great for Suffolk.
Look out for each other and have a happy and healthy year.
Be Seeing You
Andrew Burch

On Saturday the 5th of May the County Trials took place at Leiston Bowls Club. This year the executive decided to try a different format to that normally used. The day consisted of three sessions of one hour with each player playing twice. Blocks, and positions in blocks, were mixed about in order to find the best combinations for the Adams and Newton teams.
The weather was perfect for playing bowls with blue skies and a reasonable temperature. Leiston`s green was running very well and their refreshments team was sorted out. The trials were well attended by spectators who enjoyed the spectacle.
Beautiful weather for play.
