All members are invited to attend the Outdoor AGM of Essex County Bowling Club, to be held at the Club on Wednesday 13^th October at 7:30pm.

We would suggest it is even more important than usual for your attendance due to the fact we have not had an AGM of any description for around 2 years now due to CoVID, please make every effort to attend.
