Love Fisher Brown Award launched in Disability Bowls August
The Bowls Disability Alliance (BDA) is delighted to announce the launch of the 2015/16 Love Fisher Brown Award. It's sponsored by AeroBowls with entries being taken up until Friday 27 May 2016.
One of the entrants of the 2014/2015 award was Bowls Daventry, who secured a runner up place thanks to their recent activities and the impressive number of people they’d managed to engage.
Bowls Daventry was formed as an organisation to promote bowls widely across the Daventry and the district region. With a desire to involve clubs from any code, the organisation has engaged with indoor and outdoor clubs while also promoting short mat bowls and petanque.
Led by Ian Litchfield, their disability activity has developed into a portable version of the sport. It is then taken into a range of organisations such as nursing and care homes and local community groups to enable 500 disabled people to participate in bowls.
Due to Ian’s extraordinary commitment and inventive solutions, BDA awarded Ian a Volunteer Award in recognition of his own individual and his team's work.
