A very Merry Christmas from the Lancashire CCGBA Committee to all of our clubs and bowlers.

The Manchester Indoor Bowls Project has huge prospects for crown and flat-green bowls in the North West.

Manchester City Council has recently agreed to undertake a professional feasibility study in early 2023 to determine demand for, and viability of, a new purpose built, international standard, indoor bowls complex in the Greater Manchester area.

There is no certainty that the project will happen, but a Facebook page (Manchester Indoor Bowls Project) has been created to enable the North West bowls community to show support for it.

If you think it is a good idea, and would be interested in joining if the facility was established, please like the Facebook page and please also take a minute to answer the short questions via the link below.

Please also help spread the word by sharing this page/survey to as many fellow bowlers (flat and crown) as possible across the North West and encourage them to complete the short survey.

Our support and input is crucial for its fruition.
