International Indoor Bowls
|
| The English Indoor Bowling Association
(EIBA), National Governing Body for the sport of Indoor Bowls in
England, is pleased to announce that we are the
host Nation for the British
Isles Indoor U25 Men’s International Series, with
the venue being Stanley Indoor Bowls Centre. The event will take place on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th February 2020 from 9.30am each day and will see teams from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales compete in a round robin tournament to determine the British Isles Champions. This is the first time that Stanley IBC has hosted this tournament, but they have successfully hosted the British Isles U18s and the prestigious Men’s and Women’s International Series & Championships four times. The last being in 2015, which was the last year of a 3-year hosting agreement. Durham County Council and Visit County Durham are valuable support partners in the hosting of the event along with ensuring that the sport of bowls becomes a key activity for the local community in the weeks and months after the event. With 6 top-class matches taking place over the two days there is plenty of opportunity for the local community to experience the event and the excellent facilities of Stanley Indoor Bowls Centre. Admission is via programme which is to be purchased for £3.00 on the day Peter Thompson, Chief Executive of the EIBA, said we are delighted to be using Stanley Indoor Bowls Centre again as our host venue for a major International tournament. The Club facilities are excellent for the players, officials and spectators. Also we can expect the members of the club and the local community to attend and provide great support to all the teams competing. In addition we are grateful of the support Durham County Council, Visit County Durham and the Stanley Directors / Staff in the planning and running of the event. Cllr Carl Marshall, Durham County Council’s Cabinet member for regeneration – who is also councillor for Stanley, added: “We’re delighted that on the back of the massive success we enjoyed hosting Cricket World Cup matches at Chester-le-Street, we’re once again able to help bring international class sport to County Durham. “Events like this can only help raise awareness of the county, and bring in visitors who will spend money in local businesses and potentially return once they’ve seen everything we have to offer. “Speaking as a local lad, I’m sure Stanley will give a warm welcome to this tournament and everyone who will be visiting for it.” Michelle Gorman, Managing Director from Visit County Durham said “We’re thrilled that Durham has been chosen by the EIBA as the host destination for this major international indoor bowling tournament. Not only does this raise our profile as a destination known for hosting global sporting events, but it also encourages local communities to get involved in the tournament, which in turn boosts the county’s visitor economy”.
