Update on 2010 Business Rate Valuations for Bowls Clubs
As part of every Members affiliation fee, Bowls England represents the voice of all affiliated members.
Bowls England has taken the following action on behalf of all its Members following the release of the Business Rates Valuations for 2010, which proposed substantial increases for some clubs:
- Identified Business Rates Valuations as an important item by the Board of Bowls England
- News release issued to all clubs and counties to raise awareness of new valuation process and asking for local experiences
- Data collected from clubs and report produced
- Advice sought from Bowls England's solicitors, Wright Hassall
In light of the responses received from clubs and Wright Hassall, Bowls England is considering a 'block representation' on behalf of clubs through one of the recommended professional bodies and will keep Members fully informed through this process.
