Please can all entrants to the forthcoming World Masters ensure your entry fee is paid at your earliest convenience and no later than Sunday 2 March. We are still awaiting payment from a number of competitors and entries are only pending until full payment has been received.

Please be fair to the majority of bowlers who have already paid (in line with our terms and conditions) and also to the growing number of reserves on our standby list who can be called on if required. Entries need to be finalised before the draw is made at Bromsgrove Indoor Bowls Club on Sunday 9 March.

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing you all in Belfast.
