The Bowls NSW Annual General Meeting was held on Friday 10th November. The four elected male directors were announced. We welcome back incumbent Directors Owen Walker, John Ellison and Michael Howard and we very warmly welcome newly elected Director Rick Roper to the Board.

Nominated Female Directors were announced and received at the AGM. We welcome back incumbent directors Dilys Kindleysides, Lesley Swales, Marina Deluchi and Sandra Jowett.

Bowls NSW would like to thank outgoing Directors Brett Duprez and Mike Skeggs. Brett Duprez has been an incredible asset to the Board of Bowls NSW for many years and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. In addition, Mike Skeggs has significantly contributed to the Bowls NSW Board throughout his tenure and we wish him all the best.

At the meeting, Bowls NSW announced the appointment of a new auditor moving forward. We’d like to thank PKF for their services and we welcome Wessels & Co Chartered Accountants for our future audit services.

The AGM was the final event of the broader Bowls NSW Member Conference that included the Awards Evening and Partner Expo. It was an incredible few days full of knowledge sharing and connection between clubs. I’d like to thank all members who attended and especially my small and hardworking team who have gone above and beyond to deliver this event.
