Is this a record - Noah Cummings?

Noah Cummings

Noah Cummings

of Nevilles Cross Bowls Club is only 12 years old.

Noah is already a successful indoor bowler at his local club, Ferryhill IBC and holds the Durham County IBA Under 15 School of Excellence title and is runner-up in the Regional final.

This season he's started playing outdoors and has joined the Nevilles Cross Club which plays in the second division of the Durham & District League.

Noah's certainly the youngest to turn out for Nevilles Cross in its 43 years and possibly the youngest to play in the League in its 80+ years history.

There are no records maintained within the League on this topic. So, unless anyone has any information which would prove differently, he's the holder of another title, too.

Presentation Evening, Friday 2nd October 2009

Durham Indoor Bowling Club

The Presentation Evening will be held at Durham Indoor Bowling Club on Friday 2nd October 2009 starting at 7.00pm.

The Indoor club is near the Arnison Shopping Complex and lies behind the Abbey Leisure Centre and is accessed from Ryelands Way. The facilities at the club are excellent with adequate safe parking supported by CCTV. The club is licensed and prices are reasonable. Entertainment will be a mixed music disco, dancing and bingo.

Food which will be served from the Club's kitchen will be pie, peas and chips.

Presentations will be made to the winners of each DIvisional title, Millennium Cup and all Knockout Competitions. A representative of all winners and runners-up must attend to receive the appropriate trophies and cash prizes. Failure to attend wil mean forfeiture of any such prizes. This function is important for the League as it also raises funds which help meet its running costs. A raffle will be held during the evening and as agreed by all member clubs at a recent AGM each club is asked to provide a prize of either a bottle or a cash donation to help make it a success.

Tickets are £4.50 each and orders should be made via club secretaries.
