East Dorset

2024 Summer Season up and running

Dateline   April 19th, 2024

The Club's summer season gets busier and busier, open more hours a day and with a new Aussie Pairs League.

Pre-COVID, EDIBC was open Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening, that was it. Now, in 2024, the Club is open from 10am to 6pm every weekday, has five very active leagues, two Cygnets sessions and three Organised Open Play sessions - and plans are afoot to open Saturdays, possibly Sundays too.

Post-COVID, we have run a Summer Aussie Pairs competition - including a plate if there are enough entries. This year, we have added a 101-format singles competition for a bit more fun.

Finally, EDIBC is going to venture into the Fantastic Fives national summer competition for the first time.

He will also be responsible for day-to-day building care and maintenance, and most of the league, competition and membership administration will come under his purview. JJ has the skills to take all this on.

A public school and university education provides the foundation, 16-years of active service as an Army Officer in the Royal Tank Regiment adds team management and leadership skills, as do managerial positions in operations at Amazon, and Health and Safety within the construction sector.A keen sports player, JJ has pledged to become an expert at indoor bowls.
