Honours Boards
In keeping with the P&D's attempt
to make a record of the history of Bowls and Bowlers in
Portsmouth photographs are being added to the various honours
boards as and when they become available. It is hoped this will
capture memorabilia before it is lost to time and give everybody
a chance to put faces to the many names who have achieved
success in the sport. It can be nice to see faces of long lost
friends and adversaries.
If you have photographs of any
individual or team, whether they have achieved greatness or not,
please let the
Secretary borrow them so they may be copied and posted. Unless
we make the effort now we may never get the chance again. |
 |
|
But please don't stop there. If
you have photos of your club, its members or any
events that might make interesting viewing we can add these to
our photo gallery.
Let's not lose our history and
heritage. Many thanks in anticipation.

We are
presently
trying to
capture the
history of
the P&D by
placing on
record
within this
website as
much
information
as possible
before it is
lost.
If you have
anything
that might
help please
let us know.
Things that
will be of
particular
interest are
old photos
and
information
to fill gaps
on honours
boards.
Everything
and anything
will be
gratefully
received.
Let's list
it before we
lose it. |

A
Big thank you
Our appreciation to everybody
who has contributed in our quest
to fill in the missing
information on Honours Boards.
Please keep it coming. We
strive to compile a
complete record of all those who
are worthy to call themselves
winners in this great district.
We
hope you find discovery of
historical 'artefacts' relating
to the P&D interesting. |

Members of the P&D are
actively encouraged to
submit reports and
photos of their matches,
club activities or any
articles that might be
considered amusing or of
general interest. |
