“It would be absolutely devastating to lose the Commonwealths,” said Bowler, speaking ahead of Bowls’ Big Weekend 2024. To some extent, Bowler experienced a Games of this ilk in Birmingham. “The Commonwealth Games was one of the biggest events for our sport in terms of getting it out there,” he said. With over three million people watching Bowls’ Big Weekend on national television last year, and over 560 clubs on board, bowls will be taking over England from 24th – 27th May for the 2024 event. Bowler reflects back fondly on his first Commonwealth Games as a major turning point in his life.
