After careful deliberation SCWBA Executive Committee has decided that the Area Team Championship for the Ellen Matthews Trophy will not take place this season. We know that ladies who normally play in these matches will be disappointed with this decision, but we have had to take many factors into consideration, not least the Government`s recent decision to delay the lifting of all Covid-19 restrictions until mid-July. We thank all of you who have put your names forward for your Area Teams and we hope that you will do so again in the future. The Executive Committee is committed to running this competition again in 2022.

Ladies
Firstly, I wish you all a Healthy and Happy 2021. I never expected that I would be your President in 2021 but I look forward to carrying out my duties. 2020 has been a Year that we could never have imagined. Although missing being on the bowling greens, for me it was not being able to meet up with friends not only in Suffolk but around the Counties. Although Newark had to be cancelled, we do have County Indoor Champions who will, I am sure, be able to compete for a National title at some time. We must look forward and stay positive that 2021 will be a year to remember for all the good things. We will no doubt see changes, depending on when we are able to get back to some normality, but I am sure that SCWBA will be just as competitive as in previous years. Whether playing at Club, County or National level I wish you all the Best for 2021. I take this opportunity to thank all who have been working to get things under way for 2021 at some time in 2021. Our Treasurer, Sue, is moving out of Suffolk - best wishes Sue; you will be missed. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and look forward to making up for a lost year. Congratulations to all ladies who have reached the County Semi Finals. I am looking forward to meeting you all at Yoxford on Saturday. Best wishes to all. Good Bowling ,Good Weather most of all enjoy your day.

Dear Club Secretaries,
In the letter that was sent out in April, we stated that SCWBA Executive Committee would review the situation regarding Covid-19 in late June and make a decision about the possibility of holding the Ellen Matthews Competition this season. Following consultation with Area Secretaries and consideration of the current Government regulations and EBF/EWBF guidance, we have decided that it will not be possible to play this competition this year. We realise that this decision will be disappointing for many of our ladies who look forward to playing and socialising with their fellow bowlers from other Areas of the County. However, as we emphasised previously, safety must be our priority.
We have also made the decision not to hold the County Novices Singles Competition this year. If Clubs have been fortunate enough to attract new bowlers, we hope we will be able to encourage them to enter competitions in future years.
We will update Clubs regarding other Area and County events planned for this season at the end of July.
Notification has been received this week from the EBF/EWBF that the National Indoor Competitions that were to have been played at Newark in April 2020, will now be played in April 2021 (19th .. 25th). This means that there will be no County Indoor Competitions this year. It is hoped that the winners of our 2020 County Indoor Competitions will be able to represent Suffolk in 2021.
We thank you for your understanding and hope that you and your Club Members remain safe and well.
Kind regards,
Linda Nunn
Chairman (on behalf of SCWBA Executive Committee)
