Welsh Bowls Federation Development Plan

Welsh Bowls Development Plan

With the current Development Plan due to end imminently, it is with great pleasure that we can report that a successor Plan has now been agreed, and that it will begin later this summer 2011.

We are grateful for the support of the National Governing Bodies in ensuring the introduction of this new Plan, while the ongoing financial support of Sport Wales deserves particular mention, and is much appreciated by all in Welsh Bowls.

With the introduction of a new Development Plan, and buoyed by the outstanding medal successes at the recent Delhi Commonwealth Games, Welsh Bowls will now look forward to the future with confidence.

Details of the new Plan will be posted on this site shortly.
