“This is a prestigious post and gives a fantastic boost to all the members of Banbridge Bowling Club and I hope will encourage new members to join and take part in the sport. 

“It was also great to meet up with five Presidents of the IWBA, both past and present from Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.  I know from speaking with some of the ladies that they came to Banbridge specially for this event and stayed locally in our B&B’s which just shows the contribution which events such as these can bring out our local economy.  “
