Southampton Open Tournament

We are proud to host Hampshire's premier Bowling Tournament, which attracts bowls as far away as Canada

Vic Ameira B.E.M. S&D President 2019

Gentlemen,

I have only been in the county of Hampshire since 2014, when I enrolled with Hedge End Bowling Club. However I have been playing bowls since 1985.

I completed my service in the army in 1987, and completed 27 years service. My first club was Cranbourne Bowls Club in Kent, until 2002. I then moved to Tidworth and joined Amesbury Bowls Club until 2014, and now I am with Hedge End Bowling Club. I am also a Level 3 (Senior) coach with the English Bowls Coaches Society. In 2017, I was coerced to becoming Vice President by Brian Bartlett, so blame him for me being your President.

It is with humility that I accept the post of President and very proud to do so. I hope that I will carry out my duties in a manly and professional manor. I am sure that this year will be a busy one with the coming of our Centenary next year. So next year will be busier than this.

I am hoping that we will be able to enroll more members from clubs, who to date have not joined us in matches against other counties, as well as clubs within the county.

I thank all members who have helped me during my transition, and for their guidance from Vice President, to Junior Vice, to President. I wish all members a warm welcome, and a year of competitive bowls, in the spirit of the game, in the coming months ahead.

Finally a big thanks to you to all the Bowling Clubs for the use of their Facilities, for all S&DBA commitments during the 2019 programme.
Victor Amaira B.E.M
