Buckhurst Hill Bowls Club held their Annual General Meeting on Saturday with change the re-curring theme throughout.

Margaret Langwith and John Pretty were appointed as the new team captains, replacing the outgoing Alison Welham and Les Fairhead.

There were also proposals for changes to be made to the dress code; however after an impassioned debate all five proposed amendments were blocked.

With the serious business out of the way, the evening saw the annual dinner dance, the final event for the outgoing captains after a successful year in office.

Buckhurst Hill are open to anyone who would be interested in joining, with beginners and experienced bowlers alike both able to benefit from the experience of new Director of Coaching, qualified Bowls England coach, Derek Friend.
