Think of bowls
Indeed all our visiting teams comment on this beautiful site and how lucky we are to be able to play here. I have also been told how well the gardens are kept but it seems the councillors would rather have concrete blocks instead.
I would therefore like to pose the following questions to the councillors at Arun and Bognor:

Hide Ad- Why has there been no formal meeting between Arun/Bognor councils and all the bowls clubs concerned?
- There is no way six clubs can arrange all their matches and practice roll ups to fit in at Waterloo Gardens. Even a new clubhouse and café will not help so what’s the answer?
- The clubhouse at Swansea gardens is jointly owned by the two clubs that play home matches and roll ups so are we going to be compensated for its loss?
- Why are the bowls and tennis courts not publicised, advertised or indeed signposted, but the leisure centres are? (The councils must bear the responsibility for the lack of knowledge by locals and visitors alike surely?)

Hide Ad- Why is West Park being given so much consideration, it being so far out of town, and at the expense of Swansea Gardens’ combined sports facilities?
- I am led to believe there is a covenant that was put on Swansea Gardens around 1913/14 by the benefactor which states that the grounds cannot be built upon, so what is the implication regarding this?
