PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

Dear Bowlers,

It is a great honour to have been elected as your County President for the 2026 season.

I look forward to representing the Nottinghamshire County Bowling Association and serving our membership to the best of my ability throughout the year.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to Kevin Broadley for his dedicated work in recent years to ensure the Adams and Newton teams have remained fully supported. I also extend my appreciation to Michael Watson, whose assistance and guidance at matches has been invaluable. My thanks are also offered to all County Officers for their continued commitment and service.

I am very much looking forward to working alongside Neil Griffin and Dave Gascoyne in their roles as Deputy President and Junior Vice President.

A particular highlight of my past two years as Captain of the Newton team was lifting the Newton Cup at the National Finals in 2024. My gratitude goes to all the players for their outstanding efforts in securing this achievement.

As I conclude, I would like to extend my best wishes to the Ladies County Bowling Association for the forthcoming 2026 season, and I look forward to strengthening our work together.

Finally, I wish all bowlers, both new and experienced, every success for the 2026 season, and trust that all our games will continue to be played in the true spirit of sportsmanship.

Thank you.

Jonathan (Jon) Carlton

County President, 2026
