Bill Bailey, S&D President 2017
Gentlemen, 
​
Firstly, I would like to say what an enormous privilege it is for me to be your President for 2017 and also representing my home Club, Meon Valley Bowling Club.  As most of you will know I am quite relaxed in my attitude to life but enjoy a competitive game of bowls.
Following on from our last President, Derrick Fulker, I wish to continue with the warm and friendly, but competitive way, in which we participate in our games throughout the year ahead.  Although many Clubs participate in our matches I would like to encourage more involvement from those that have not done so in the past. 
During my short experience with the S&DBA I have become very aware of how well the Association is managed by willing, supportive and efficient Officers of the Committee.  Thank you for your past support to the Association and I look forward to working with you, as your President, this year.
I wish all members happy and competitive bowling, offering all competitors a warm welcome, in the true spirit of the game in the coming months ahead.
Finally, may I thank Atherley Bowling Club for the use of their facilities for all S&DBA commitments during the 2017 programme.
Bill Bailey
