It may seem some way off but as League Secretary I will shortly be sending out the initial "Team" paperwork to last Summers seasons Team Leaders. 

It is therefore a good opportunity to advise "any members" who might be interested in running a Summer Team to come forward and let me know of their interest.

So please Bob Atkins as soon as possible.

It is with great sadness that the Club has to announce the sad loss of Debbie White, the wife of Ade, who passed away on Christmas Eve.
Debbie and Ade have been members of our bowling family since October 2017 and have, says Ade, thoroughly enjoyed playing at the club since then. 

Whilst Ade joined as a full member again this season, Debbie decided to continue to support Ade and the club by becoming an Associate Member.

Both were members of Haywards Heath and Beechurst Bowls club during the summer months who like us will miss Debbie immensely.

At this time no funeral arrangements have been made. 

It is with great sadness that the Club had to recently announce the sad loss of Dave Gunstone on Tuesday , 7th December 2021.
Dave who had left the club at the end of last season had previously been a prominent member of the club for many years and was well known to many members, especially having played in the club leagues, up to and including last season.
Being one of the club’s earlier members, he was well-respected by everybody who were fortunate enough to come in contact with him and his mischievous nature.
He was also a long term member of Portslade Bowls Club who like us will miss him.

The challenger(s) must contact their opponent(s) and offer them two dates.

If the match cannot be played on either of these two dates then a third date may be offered.

If the player(s) can still not make the third date, then a substitute player must be brought in.

Matches should be played as early as possible to take into account holidays and sickness and should then give competitors sufficient time to get their matches played within a reasonable time.

Singles competitors: please make sure that the challengers get a marker.
