We have been unable to find a new Competition Secretary to take on all the duties previously done by Rod Frazer. It has therefore been necessary to restructure the administration of the competitions in order that they may still continue next season. As a result several of the Competition Rules require amendments to reflect the new structure. All the related proposed changes proposed by the Executive Committee are listed on the AGM proposals page, being proposals B to M inclusive.
In addition Harrow BC have submitted two additional proposals (N & O) independent of the above.
​
The 85th AGM will be held on Wednesday 16th October at 7.00pm at Century B.C.
Any proposals for the AGM should be submitted by 20th September for inclusion in the agenda. See the "AGM Proposals" page under News & Admin for the submission process, and any proposals so far submitted.

1. The 2024 Competitions Finals Day schedule can now be viewed under the Competitions tab "Finals Day 2024"

​
There will be no H&D competitions in 2025 unless someone takes up the role of Competition Secretary. Please contact the Secretary, Steve Flain on 07400 340270 or by email stephenflain@hotmail.co.uk
if you are willing to take on this role.
Also please note that if in 2025 your club wishes to join one of our leagues or add an additional team the deadline for registering your intent is 31st July 2024. Please register your intent by email to h.and.dba@outlook.com
News and Admin section now contains a page with the link to the World Bowls website, specifically the Laws of the Sport page which has a link to the Crystal Mark fourth Edition and revisions thereto in case you need to refer to it where our District rules do not explicitly cover certain aspects and rely on the world Bowls standard instead.
​
Good news there is a new bowls club in the District:- The "West Harrow Community Bowls Club". Although it is too late for them to join our leagues this season they are ready and able and keen to play friendlies with any clubs who have a free slot on their fixture list.
To arrange a game with them their contact is their Secretary, Alan James tel: 0780 1644914, email: westharrowbowls24@gmail.com
​
In preparation for 2025 when all clubs will need a "safeguarding policy" and an officer responsible for the policy, the Harrow and District policy is now included in the News and Admin section under Safeguarding Policy any questions or guidance for this policy should be referred to Andy Docker.
​
There appears to have been a problem with the PDF display of competition contact details still showing 2023 details rather than 2024 as correctly displayed in the google Docs version. I believe this is now resolved and it should be showing the contact details for 69 competitors (not 73 as was in 2023). Competition Contacts
​
Contact details for the competition entrants have now been updated. See Competition Contacts and Competition Team Club Contacts and Club Contacts Veterans pages for details.
​
The draw for 2024 competitions has now taken place. The Competition results and fixtures page has now been updated and the draws can be seen by clicking on the appropriate link. The contact details for the competitors will be updated in the next few days.
The Site has now been updated for the results of the 84th AGM which included election of officers a revised Constitution, inclusion of women in the Coronation Shield and Portman Trophy, and reduction of ends in Pairs/fours/Coronation/Portman Pairs
​
Bidgood "Fixture Process" page amended for 2024 Fixtures. Amendment removes Stanmore B fixtures as they have withdrawn from the league and corrects two typos on the Cavendish row (only) for Harrow Weald and Uxbridge
​
Stanmore "B" have withdrawn from Bidgood Division2
For the avoidance of any doubt it should be noted that both Wealdstone and West Harrow have both closed at the end of the season so will not be playing any future matches.
​
The schedule of home and away designations for 2024 Bidgood League matches may now be found on the "Bidgood fixture process" page.
​

H&D COMPETITIONS MAY CEASE NEXT SEASON
As announced at the AGM at the end of the season, after many years of dedicated service Rod Fraser will be stepping down as Competition Secretary.
Unless someone takes the role on there will be no competitions next season which would be a great shame. If you are interested please contact Steve Flain. (Secretary )
