Messages from the Presidents of 2026

Jean Phillips
2026 EWBF President
To hold the office of EWBF National President once is such an honour but to be doing it again for a second time is absolutely amazing. I am especially looking forward to supporting the Federation in this their Centenary year.
I will endeavour to visit as many Counties as I can in the coming year and look forward to making many more Federation Friends along the way.
I look forward to working with Lilian Barber and Cheryl Crowe and wish Ray Taylor, Andy Sayer and Ian Pringle from my own County on their journey ‘up the ladder’.
Thank you (in advance) to my County and especially my Club for all the support they have given and continue to give to me.
May your bowl always fall toward the jack!
Best Wishes
Jean Phillips
EWBF Nat. President. 2026

To all my fellow friends, bowlers and officers,
It is with great pride and pleasure to be the national president for 2026.
I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart for this great opportunity and trust in me, my county Derbyshire EBF, my club Zingari, and all my fellow bowlers.
I would also like to thank The NEC Exec committee for all the support and guidance you have given me over the past 3 years.

Beryl Beresford
2025 EWBF President
To be your EWBF National President for 2025 is a great pleasure and an honour as this will be my second time as National President.
The ladies I follow have been wonderful and will do my best to maintain the high standards which have been set.
I have to thank my County, Nottinghamshire, for their support in nominating me for the post. I look forward to working with Jean Phillips, again a former National President, and Lilian Barber as my Junior Deputy.
I wish David Thomas, the EBF National President and look forward to working together.
I will try and visit as many Counties as possible during the season, and also meeting you all at the Indoor Finals, Lincoln and also at Skegness.
