Neville Elliott to retire
With regret the Board of Bowls Taranaki has accepted the retirement of its Executive Officer, Neville Elliott, to take effect from 1 May 2019. Neville has given five years of dedicated service to the role, while remaining an active and successful participant, and continuing to volunteer in a variety of roles. He first joined the northern division in 1994 and stepped up the following year to the Taranaki Bowling Centre executive. He remained at Taranaki’s top table through until 2013. He was president in 2002-2006, with the last season involving the amalgamation of the men’s and women’s centres. The executive was replaced by a board in 2009, with Neville serving as the chairman from 2010-2013. “Neville Elliott has had his critics over the years, as anyone does who makes decisions, but those critics have generally been misguided in their thinking,” current chairman Grant Hassall said. “His contribution to Taranaki Bowls has been massive and hugely appreciated by all genuine lovers of the game.”
An advertising campaign for a replacement will begin immediately.
