PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

 President - Norman Rumley


Fellow Bowlers and Friends

Once again I would like to welcome you on behalf of the Tournament Committee to the 71st "Royal Tunbridge Wells Men's Bowling Tournament"

Did you know that on the 5th June 1925, over tea after a match between the Grove and Grosvenor, Cllr T.C. Allen mentioned the possibility of a Six Day Tournament in the town as in many other towns. This idea had been mooted 4 or 5 years earlier in the local Advertiser. It took a further 4 years before it came to fruition.

We are now in the fifth year in which "Drake & Fletcher have been our major sponsor, we are greatly indebted to them for their support and hope that it may continue.
Courier Newspapers have also sponsored us over many years and we thank them very much for this.

This year the presentation of trophies will be performed by a well known local bowler of some years standing and is widely respected in the game.

We would like to wish all competitors, spectators, and helpers an enjoyable week and hope for good weather, good bowling, good company & your continued support.
                         Norman Rumley (President)
