Message from your President
It is a great honour that I accept the role of President of our great club and I will endeavour with the help and support of my
committee and other club members to carry out my duties to the best of my ability and to maintain the traditions of our club.
Our Indoor section continues to be popular with many hard fought games taken place each week all under the watchful eye of
Lesley Kemp and her Committee.
The outdoor season is beginning to take shape with more friendlies and events in place than last year all with help from Ray
Ridett.
This season the club has the honour of hosting all the Ladies County Finals together with being the chosen venue for the trials for
the Ladies National events The John’s and The Walker Cups. Cherie Earle will be presiding over all of these ladies events in her role
of IOW Ladies. President and both myself and your committee wish every success in her year of office.
My chosen charity for the year is the IOW & Hampshire Air Ambulance Service a very worthwhile service given we all live on an
island and one which I would ask we all give generously to help support this important service.
Finally, I look forward to meeting all new and old members on and off the green and lets hope we all have a safe and successful
year in the sport we dearly love. Keep taking the pills and keep bowling.
John Rich
President.
