The following message has been received from the BCGBA…..
To All County Secretaries and CMCs
I would ask that you please forward this email to all clubs, leagues and associations within your County as soon as possible please.
I have not yet received a date for when the automated process for ‘opting in’ to the BCGBA Group Insurance Policy will be available.
As the bowling season is only a few weeks away now I would advise that any club, league or association who wishes to ‘opt in’ to the BCGBA Group Policy should do so as soon as possible using the manual process described in the attached document, which is a copy of the one that was circulated in December 2025. It is important that everyone has their insurance cover in place for the start of the bowling season.
Many thanks.
Regards
Pat Crowther

Due to the resignation of the current Safeguarding Officer and Development Officer posts we require people to come forward to help out with these important matters. The current postholders finish at the end of March, but they are willing to assist any new incumbents to get them on their feet.
Please contact Keith Andrews if you are interested. You can also speak to Sandie Whitaker (Safeguarding) or Ian Gill (Development) if you would like any further information on what the roles entail – their contact details are on the respective pages of the website.
