Hi there, I am Mark from Hastings, East Sussex. I started playing bowls in 2001 and have become a national umpire and level 2 bowls coach over the years. I have helped the visually impaired bowlers at national and international level since 2005 and thoroughly enjoy it. It is a very proud moment being asked to represent England as a coach at the Visually Impaired World Bowls Championships. However it is self funded and will cost in the region of £3000 which will include flights hotel and entry fee into the event so any help will be very gratefully received.
