 Fellow Members of Braintree Bowling Club - It gives me great pleasure to congratulate our Club Hon Secretary Richard Dodd as he starts his year in office as President of Essex County Bowling Association. It is an honour for both Richard and Braintree Bowling Club and I know that we will enjoy a fun and exciting year with Richard on his journey with the Club and the County. I am sure that you will join me in wishing Richard every success throughout the year and I hope that members will actively provide their support along the way to the various events which we are planning to host next year. Andy Beatty, Club Chairperson |
