Message from the President of World Bowls On behalf of the Board of World Bowls I would like to warmly welcome the players, supporters and officials to the 2018 World Champion of Champions. It is once again being staged at St Johns Park Bowling Club, and I am delighted that our popular world event will benefit from being hosted at such a magnificent and prestigious club. Australia has a tremendous reputation for running and promoting top quality tournaments and I am sure it will be thoroughly enjoyed by visiting players, their supporters and local bowlers alike.

As with all great sporting events there are many people who work tirelessly to make the occasion successful. I would like to thank Chairman Paul Norris, Club Administrator Brett Murphy, and his Organising Committee, Bowls Australia and all who have been involved in making this event the great success we are confident it will be.

In conclusion, I wish everyone a very enjoyable tournament, and may the skills and enthusiasm of the talented players on show, and the renowned hospitality of the host club, make it a memorable one for all involved. World Bowls is indeed proud to stage such prestigious events, which can not only fulfil the dreams of the world’s aspiring bowlers, but also raise the profile and awareness of our great sport. I wish you all every success.

WORLD CHAMPION OF CHAMPION SINGLES 2018

Message from the Chairman of St Johns Park Bowling Club On behalf of the Board of Directors, management, staff and Club members I would like to extend a warm welcome all players, officials and supporters of the World Bowls Champion of Champion Singles. We are extremely proud to be chosen for two consecutive years to host this prestigious event. We are pleased and proud to have so many keen and skilled bowlers from around the world together on our greens, where many friendships and fond memories have been forged.

Congratulations to all the talented competitors for achieving the status to play at an international level in our great sport. The quality of bowls over the next week promises to be extremely high level, and I look forward to witnessing some entertaining and exciting matches, which I am sure will be memorable for everyone involved.

Over the past 7 years, we have continued to invest in the Club’s facilities and hope you enjoy our dining options along with the vast array of promotions and entertainment we have on offer.

Thank you to our volunteer officials, supporters and spectators of World Bowls. I am certain you will meet with myself and my Directors during your time here. We wish all competitors good bowling and the best of luck.
