On our 19th show we have a chat with former World Indoor Singles champion Mark Dawes to discuss the impending closure of his indoor club and the huge impact it will have to so many members of the sport. 

We also discuss his world title winning journey and get to know more about the quiet, unassuming character we see gracing our greens.......or is he? 

We catch up with Ian McCombes the general manager of "Just Bowl". For anyone who is not aware of this fantastic organisation and what a positive effect they have on peoples lives whilst promoting our sport then please take some time to have a look at the website www.justbowl.org where you will find a wealth of information and case studies that really makes great reading. 

We see huge benefits to clubs with the Just Bowl equipment and would highly recommend adding it to your facilities to give your Open Days a positive impact and an alternative way to interact with new and existing members.

Mark Dawes also tackles a "Lancashire edition" of Bowls or Balls and we have our usual competition which again we are grateful to Alex Marshall Sports for there support.

We hope you enjoy the show and again thanks for all your support.

On show 18 we had the pleasure of having another Scottish legend, Paul Foster MBE joined us via zoom for a chat.

Paul's achievements are phenomenal and it takes a 2 second search to bring up a lengthy list so it was nice to chat about what has made him the player he is today and to get an insight into the make-up of his career and the fact that he was a decent footballer.

How did his delivery style come to fruition? 

How did his partnership with Alex Marshall and Jack 7 Victor? We find out what that is all about.

More important than all that though was his participation in Bowls or Balls. Potentially one of his career highlights .

Richie’s round up has been furlonged or has he just gone down the beach but we do catch up on a few topics.

Plus we have our regular competition kindly sponsored by Alex Marshall Sports.

We hope you enjoy

Welcome to our 16th show which we have called “Back to the Future” 

There have been a few questions on bringing youth into the sport recently so we catch up with Bowls Leicestershire’s Stephen Beamish to discuss the implementation of a youth academy in the county. Stephen also attempts to knock Scott off the top of the Bowls or Balls leaderboard.

We discuss the new laser measures and take a trip down memory lane to 2007 when something unique happened at the national championships.

We also answer some of the outstanding questions that were unanswered during Bolty’s live Blog. 

Plus we have our regular competition sponsored by Alex Marshall Sports Ltd

Welcome to our 15th podcast “The Sport of Kings”.

Our guests this week are Rishi Persad one of the best sports presenters in the business and has a lot of passion for bowls and sport in general. Rishi chats about his career and has some great stories - definitely not one to be missed. 

We also have Scott Morland on to discuss his amazing work at Darlington South Park BC and having known Scott for a lot of years it was good to catch up and have a laugh with someone who likes to create positive discussion via what some may see as creating a bit of controversy but for others it is probably saying what others are frightened to say, Scott is a great guy and you may have read his story in Bowls International but you can hear it from the man himself.

The 7up questions have been furlonged for a bit so Scott takes on our new game Bowls or Balls. Five questions with a true or false answer but in our case it is Bowls or Balls.  

Richie has a quick roundup and we catch up on our discussions regarding positions and focus on the role of the thirds and skips. 

Finally to end a packed show we have our regular competition sponsored by Alex Marshall Sports.

On Show 13 we were joined by Cumbria's former England international Stuart Airey, during the interview Stuart gave us a great insight into his career with some great stories plus life as a Cumbrian player where he has been part of a highly successful outfit for many years. 
Stuart also tackles Bolty's 7up questions.

 Richie also provides a short roundup and we discuss some emails and relevant chat. There is also our usual competition thanks as always to Alex Marshall Sports.

As a bonus we also had George Babalev on the show from the Bowls Development Alliance providing some very useful information for clubs during this tough period. It will be a great resource for any clubs who may be worried about the future or need assistance with funding etc. Due to the length of both calls we are going to provide the BDA information as a separate recording for those who are specifically looking for assistance.

Show 11 Loose Men is a little different.

We were due to have George Babalev on the podcast who is the Club Development Manager for the BDA (Bowls Development Alliance) but due to current circumstances surrounding the Corona Virus uncertainty we thought it was best to put that on hold until we have a clearer picture of the situation. 

So instead the two of us are laid bare and provide opinion and discussion on relevant bowls topics, we did manage to drag Ian Riches into the room kicking and screaming to get involved and provide an update on what the South Shields club has implemented in line with government legislation. 

Richie provides his round up and roles are reversed when he provides the 7up questions to a little gobby fat bloke 

We have our regular competition sponsored by Alex Marshall Sports 

We also provide the latest update on the Corona Virus’s effect on our sport

Take care everyone and thanks as always for listening.
