Bring a Friend Day Expanded!

The BDA is pleased to announce that the Bring a Friend Day initiative scheduled for the 29^th October has been expanded to include Sunday 30^th October due to popular demand! In the few days since the BDA launched the Bring a Friend Day over 20 clubs have already applied to host an event and there is still time for clubs to register their interest by clicking on the Bring a Friend tab and completing the short form. The Bring a Friend Day is designed to encourage current members to bring their non-bowling friends and introduce them to our sport during a day of fun and informal bowling followed by an evening of entertainment. This is an ideal opportunity for clubs to increase their membership whilst at the same time promoting the very best aspects of our great game.
