06/02/12 -Please ignore the Warwick & Worcester fixtures which were published on Saturday. The league has decided to make changes following the news that West Bromwich Labour B.C. have folded. The Premier divisions will remain six divisions of twelve teams with The Bell Inn joining Premier Division 6. The Alliance league will now become one division of twelve and three divisions of ten. Fixtures could therefore change for both teams. The news could also have a heavy impact on the West Bromwich League. With a possibility of only 25 teams the league may now look to make two divisions - one of 12 and one of 13 but this is yet to be confirmed.
Saturday 4th February 2012 @ 4:20pm (above) 04/02/12 - Green / Weather Update - As the West Midlands is put on an amber snow alert our progress on the green has come to a standstill. The green was cut last Saturday but we have had early morning frosts every day since 28th January with the green frozen solid since 30th January. Seven days of freezing weather has seen the frost reach deep into the soil and it will be a good while yet until that frost completely thaws out. Last night a temperature of -9 degrees was recorded in Birmingham although -1 is expected during the predicted 5cm (2") of snow. Work Party - Many thanks to those of you who braved the cold weather today and attended the work party (Frank Newman, Sheila Newman, Joe Wilson, Dan Chilton, John Hardman, Pauline Broadhead, Carl Blakeman). The focus was the large outbuilding which needed clearing. Not a nice job but glad to say we now have a place to store materials with ample room for a winter workshop and store (benches, boards etc). Since losing the use of a container base in the summer we have really struggled for secure storage space so thank you for your help today, much appreciated and we intend to carry out further work (ie, roof repairs) over the next couple of weeks. Also an important thank you to Dave Southall for supplying a much needed pot of tea to the workers. West Bromwich League - A recent update confirmed only 27 teams now make up the league. The only worthwhile combination is three divisions of nine teams which will mean a 16-game season. Warwick & Worcester - The 2012 fixtures have been released. The season starts on 14th April and will end on 22nd September. Two free Saturdays this year with no W&W fixtures on 28th July (BCGBA Senior Individual Merit a.k.a. "The All England") and 18th August (BCGBA Junior Individual Merit Final hosted by W&W). The following dates can still be subject to change:
03/02/12 - Rigby Taylor have supplied our green materials for 25 years and recently announced a sponsorship deal to help fund the popular Talkingbowls forum. Rigby Taylor provide Broomfield with a free advisory service and form an integral part of bringing our new green back to a quality condition. Talkingbowls is the best place to learn of results, competitions and anything else related to crown green bowls. 01/02/12 - The committee met on Sunday afternoon along with both Smethwick (Sunday) Captains. The reason being that both teams could not operate a squaded system in Division 1. Ollie Newman's choice of ten players left Jim Watkin with only five regular players - four of which were in attendance at the meeting. After discussion it was unanimously decided to ask the league to keep the 'B' team in Division 2 with all 10 members present voting in favour. This will now free up two more players for the 'B' side, it will still be a struggle but we must aim to keep two Sunday teams going. 01/02/12 - The draw for the 2012 Tony Pagett Open at Cradley Libs has now been made with five Broomfield players featuring out of the 256 entries. All Broomfield players are playing in the morning sessions as follows:
