Daniel Bonfield
Director of Membership Services
I am delighted to accept the opportunity to join the BTBA National Council representing the Northern region and contributing to building a united future for our community. Bowling has been a central part of my life, from competing in six leagues at Shipley Bowl and national tours, to organizing successful events such as the Northern Scratch Fives and the annual Four-Person Tournament in Sunderland.
I also manage local teams at Shipley, ensuring strong participation and engagement. I am proud of what has been achieved with the support of committees, centres, and bowlers, and I look forward to applying this experience to my new role within the BTBA.
I am excited to be part of taking the BTBA forward.
Ian Kennedy
Northern Regional Officer.
