| Having joined the Priory in 2002 Tony was a Member of the Selection Committee in 2010 and elected Vice Captain in 2011 and relected in 2012. |
 | Alan Messer - Match & Competition Secretary |
| Being a Manchester City fan since he was a boy (in the days before they were rich), Alan was immediately struck by the chance to wear Priory's Pale Blue shirts being the nearest he could get to pulling on the City shirt! Alan had been bowling socially for a couple of years and in September 2005 joined Priory eager to experience the more competitive bowling a club like Priory could offer. He is very keen and puts his name down for almost everything - this may explain how he became elected to this job. Alan does however have a certain pedigree for organisation having been Secretary to the Sussex County Bar Billiards Association for over 10 years, a game which he still strives to be good at in the winter months. Having served as Competition Secretary (2008-2009) was elected Match Secretary 2011 and relected in 2012. If you would like to contact Alan by email please click on his name above |
| Emilio DiPietro - Youth Development Officer |  |
| Emilio's great love for many years was football (another QPR fan for those that didn't know - come on uarrrrrrrrrs). In 1978 started coaching a group of local youngsters who did not have a football team and as a result of that the Worthing Minors Boys Football Club came in existance. After four years and the boys getting older Emilio then assisted in the birth of a club for local Italian children and A.C. Azzuri was formed, the club still being in existance today. As he was getting older in the mid 1990's he decided he would like to take up a sport himself rather than being on the sidelines of a football club. Hence he gave bowls a try and joined Tarring Priory Bowls Club. Emilio has progressed to last year (2005) being the clubs 'B' teams 'Top Skip' playing in the Brodie Tray. Emilio has in 2007 stepped down as the clubs Catering Officer after serving the club well for the past few years. Served three years as the club Vice Captain (2006 - 2008). First elected Youth Development Officer in 2009 he continues to hold this post having been reelected again in 2012. f you would like to contact Emilio by email please click on his name above. |
 | Colin Kent - Bar Manager |
| Having been a member of Tarring Priory for some 5 years now Colin appears back in charge of the bar (again) and will need the help and support of members again this year. By next season he hopes to have trained someone to take over so if any of our membership would like to help the club in this important task please talk to Colin. Colin was a Publican for 22 years and has been bowling for 42 years so as you will gather he is very experienced but (in his own words) without the skills to do the job properly. If you would like to contact Colin by email please click on his name above |
| Mike Meadows - Assistant Bar & Catering Manager |  |
| Mike played played both Football (Maybridge Boys Club and Ferring) and Cricket (Blackstone Village and Worthing Foresters) in his younger days. Assisted also with Worthing Rugby Club (Minors) his interest in sport during the 1980's moved towards the ownership of racing Greyhounds at Hove and Portsmouth. In the early 90's Mike met and started owning Greyhounds with Tony Broad. When Tony decided to take up bowls in 2003 Mike thought it was time to take up yet another sport and asked Tony to put him up for membership at whatever club he was going to join. Hence Tarring Priory got a new player and an Assistant Bar Manager 2007- 2012. |
 | Ray Elliott - Committee Member |
| Ray Joined the Club in June 1995 and was elected to the Committee for the first time this year although he has often worked behind the scenes. |
