1. There is no Hove Open Bowls Tournament this year (but, all being well, it will return next year) so we, Hove & Kingsway Bowling Club are running a triples tournament at the times that the HOBT triples would normally take place. We hope that many of the regular participants of the the tournament triples will enter.

2. Of late, our Charity Sunday has taken place on the Sunday preceding the open; last year however, we discovered to our cost that this also coincided with Sussex County competition finals, which took away many of the bowlers who may otherwise have entered our Charity Fours; this year, to avoid such a clash we’ve switched Charity Sunday to the end of Open Week, thus, County Finalists can still enter our Charity fours.
