Official synopsis Publisher
My years of service in the old Colonial Government in Africa convinces me of the importance of lifelong learning, equal opportunities and justice for each individual.
I abhor discrimination in any shape or form and so the present marginalisaton of women in some parts of the world encourages me to write this autobiography.
Section 44 of the UK Sex Discrimination Act of 1975 excludes women in sport from its protection and thus private clubs, the media, sponsors and even our national lottery administrators ignore their activities.
As an octogenarian I consider myself qualified to preach on the subject of the necessity of move with the times. To all you old Lawn Bowlers who have succeeded in conquering the intricacies of ‘dry-surfing’ and web sites, my congratulations.
Rugby, soccer, cricket, snooker, and darts have all matured nicely creating the biggest businesses in the modern world. I am sure you’ll all agree that our historical English Heritage Game deserves recognition, media coverage and sponsorship.
My prayer for the day is ‘go forth to your AGMs and proposition your governing bodies to endeavour to resuscitate our dormant World Bowls Council.’
