Following the initial BCGBA Bowler Survey, the BCGBA are currently reviewing the potential replacement of the BCGBA Website. As people will be well aware, the current website is significantly out of date, and does nothing to promote or enhance our sport.
With this in mind, we would like you to take a few minutes to give us your thoughts on what you would like to see as part of a new, modern website. Tell us what you would like – nothing is out of the question and can be investigated as part of a scoping document.
The last box on the Survey is ‘free text entry’ for you to let us know everything that you’d like to see the website provide for Clubs, and bowlers alike.
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH YOUR FELLOW BOWLERS – THE MORE RESPONSES WE RECEIVE, THE BETTER WE ARE TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER WHAT’S NEEDED.
The Survey will run until the 31st August 2024.
