President, David Cattermole (Thorndon Bowls Club).
Dear Fellow Bowlers
It was 1978 when I was welcomed into the game at Thorndon Bowls Club and then, little did I think that one day I would have the honour of becoming President of Suffolk County Bowls Association (S.C.B.A). Now, 48 years on and over 150 representative games for the County, I find myself following in the footsteps of some very respected names in the game. I will endeavour to uphold and enhance our County’s reputation.
It's been an amazing journey which seems to have slipped by in a flash but wouldn`t have been possible without the support and encouragement of my Club, my wife Margaret and my family. Whilst bowls has been at the centre of my journey so many friendships have been made and social occasions shared.
Until I stepped onto the Presidential Ladder, I thought I knew how the County worked but I have been astounded by the time and commitment our Executive Committee dedicates to running S.C.B.A.
I`ve gained so much knowledge over a short space of time which I intend to put to good use during my term in office. I have every confidence that 2026 will be as successful as 2025.
Andrew Burch did a fantastic job as our President last season. Thank you, Andrew, for what you have done for the game, all the support you have given me and the friendship formed. I will aspire to deliver the same standards as you did last year.
Happy Bowling everyone and I look forward to seeing many of you on and around the Green this season.
David Cattermole
S.C.B.A. President 2026
