Overview

In the captivating tale of a passion-turned-controversy, delve into the world of bowls like never before. Join the journey of an enthusiast and Player whose love for the game transcended two distinct terrains - from the lush greens of outdoor bowls to the carpeted arenas of the indoor game. Unbeknownst to the fervour that awaited, an earnest attempt to revive a declining sport took flight. Driven by an insatiable desire to uplift the game, the author's dedication to promoting bowls spanned over a decade and a half. Yet, amidst the triumphs and successes at clubs like Camberley Bowling Club and Camberley Indoor Bowls Club, unexpected bans from Tongham Bowls Club and Brecon Bowls Club unveiled the darker side of the sport. The bans, a result of seemingly innocuous incidents, shed light on the underlying tensions within the bowls community. From a contentious video interview that sparked a ban at Tongham to a clash over rule interpretation during a Welsh National competition, leading to a scathing accusation of cheating, since recanted by the Welsh Bowls Association, the author's journey through these adversities mirrors the larger challenges haunting the sport. As the narrative unfolds, witness the highs and lows of a sport grappling with its identity. Delve into the heart of the controversy surrounding WORLD SERIES BOWLS Ltd, a promising endeavour that met an untimely demise, exposing the intricacies and betrayals that marred its legacy. A betrayal and fraud carried out by Stephen Roberts [Stephen Otway - name change], who shamelessly absconded with the money! Through the lens of personal experiences and the upheavals within the sport, this revealing account unveils the untold story of World Series Bowls and the turbulence that shook the very foundation of a beloved pastime. Prepare for a rollercoaster ride through the triumphs, setbacks, and the ultimate unravelling of a sporting dream.
