Changes at the top for 2010.
There have been changes at the top of New Zealand Indoor Bowls with North Wellington’s Trevor Rayner being elected president and Martin Nordqvist, Ashburton, deputy president at the Annual General Meeting at Wellington on Saturday.
Both were elected unopposed. Rayner brings many years of involvement with the sport to the position of president. He has had a rapid rise through the ranks of the national body being first elected as an executive member in 2007, deputy president in 2008 and now president. Nordqvist was also elected to the executive in 2007.
The outgoing president David Edgar from South Otago stood for re-election to the executive and was successful along with long serving executive member Delwyn Hughes, Bay of Plenty and Stewart Chilton, Southland who were re-elected. The new executive member is Barry Chapman from Waikato a well known Waikato player and past president of the Waikato Centre.
The Umpires’ Representative Viv Hudson, Horowhenua, was re-elected by the Umpires to represent them on the executive.
The 2010 Lion Foundation National Championships will be held hosted by the Waikato Indoor Bowls Centre at Taupo, 2011 at the Te Rauparaha Arena, Porirua and hosted by North Wellington and the 2012 championships were allocated to Southland to be held in their own indoor bowls stadium which arguably has the best bowling floor in New Zealand.
Island Championships will be hosted by Canterbury in 2010, Ashburton in 2011 and Manawatu at Palmerston North in 2012.
