BOWLS ENGLAND AND EIBA AMALGAMATION - YOUR FIRST THOUGHTS - 22.08.2025
In June, Bowls England and the English Indoor Bowling Association (EIBA)
were pleased to announce they have been granted funding from Sport
England to explore the potential of amalgamating as one organisation.
Sport England's investment will enable dedicated project management
resources and expertise to be allocated to this venture, as well as
legal support to help create a new governance structure and corporation.
We have now engaged the support of specialist consultants, Campbell
Tickell.
Bowls England and EIBA believe that merging will help
unlock our potential, increasing our capability to grow participation
and tackle inequalities in sport. It would provide one voice for flat
green bowls, an improved and streamlined experience for existing
bowlers, a more straightforward and effective service for clubs, and
consistency on policies and compliance matters. Furthermore, we would be
able to release efficiency savings by avoiding duplication, which can be
reinvested back into our sport.
As part of understanding the
views of the bowls community, Bowls England and EIBA will be conducting
(are undertaking) a research programme including surveys and
consultation sessions, starting (including) with County Associations at
the Aviva National Bowls Finals. This engagement and feedback will shape
the development of a final proposal for a new National Governing Body.
To check the pulse of the bowls community on this journey, we would
be grateful if those interested would complete a short survey, as well
as passing onto club members, friends and family. This is the first
stage of the consultation.
