21 January 2021 - BIIBC STATEMENT
Following a meeting of the BIIBC Executive Committee held via zoom on Tuesday 19th January 2021 the following decisions were made:
“The Covid 19 pandemic is still having a major effect on all parts of the U.K. preventing any bowls being played apart from the C. Islands. Therefore National Associations are unable to complete their National Championships, the consequence being that the BIIBC Championships postponed from March 2021 to October 2021 are now cancelled.
The complete BIIBC Calendar for the 2020 – 2021 season has been moved forward to the 2021 – 2022 season and the age events namely the Under 18 and Under 25 have been increased for one year only to Under 19 & Under 26, this is designed to give those players who may have missed out on the opportunity to represent their Country.

4 September 2020. Season 2020/2021 - BIIBC Statement
Following a meeting of the BIIBC Council on Tuesday 1st September, it was unanimously agreed that due to the current Covid 19 restrictions in place regarding the number of people permitted into stadiums and issues with localized "lock downs" that it was impracticable to run our events in accordance with the published calendar of events for the 2020/2021 season.
A revised calendar of events has been published on this website and the BIIBC Council will meet again in mid November to review this calendar of events.
The BIIBC apologizes for any inconvenience caused and recommend that anyone considering booking hotels and or transport to attend any of these events waits until after our November meeting.
The safety of our players, officers and supporters remain our highest priority and no decision will be taken that puts this at risk.

29 May 2020. DENNIS PETRIE.
It is with deep sadness that we have to report the death of long time SIBA Competitions Secretary, Dennis Petrie.
Dennis had been an integral part of the SIBA for the best part of forty years and served as Competitions Secretary from 1986 till giving up the post through ill health in September 2019.
Dennis was well known to all members of the BIIBC and followers around the world. Real Time Scoring was originally developed for the BIIBC by Dennis, and he and wife Doreen were always to be seen inputting data at the BIIBC events. The BIIBC owe Dennis much thanks for his masses of work over the years on their behalf.
Dennis leaves behind his devoted wife Doreen who has also had her health battles in recent years and our thoughts go to her at this sad time.
