Retiring pair Dean and Davis recognised for 34 years of service
THE ANNUAL General Meeting of the Sowerby Bridge Bowling Association on December 5 marked the end of an era with the retirement, after 34 years service, of Association secretary Alan Dean and treasurer Ray Davis.
When the pair took office the Association had an evening league of two divisions and two individual competitions.
Under their stewardship, the Association has thrived and in 2019 ran an evening league of four divisions with 39 teams, a veterans league of two divisions with 24 teams, a four man team knock-out and a full programme of five individual and pairs competitions.
The pair were thanked for their exceptional service and were presented with a plaque acknowledging their achievements.
