JOHN MULDOON - HISTORY
In 1980 at the age of 26, John commenced
bowling at Clarkston (Airdrie) outdoor bowls club in
Lanarkshire, Scotland, where he represented Lanarkshire
county at under 35 level. A year later he joined the
prestigious Coatbridge Indoor bowls Club, where he
represented his club in the Scottish under 35
league.
In 1987John,s work took him to England,
where firstly he arrived in Northamptonshire, where he
became a member of both The Raunds Conservative outdoor
bowls club and Wellingborough Indoor bowls club, John gained
many honours there including club singles championships.
In 1989 again John's work had him on the
move this time to Long Sutton in Lincolnshire, bowling was
always important to him and he played at outdoor with the
local Long Sutton club and the more successful Royal Mail
Cart Club in Spalding. At Indoor bowling, which was always
John's favourite he was a member of Long Sutton Indoor Bowls
club for 15 years, where he won many honours, was chairman
of the club for 6 years, and represented Lincolnshire County
and competed in Liberty |

Trophy, Midland Counties and Eastern
Counties, as well as many County and National competitions
with his club.
In 2004, just short of his 50th
birthday John took the opportunity of early retirement and
moved with his wife Eleanor to the Costa Blanca in Spain,
where he promised her that bowling was in the past, so
within two months he joined Quesada bowls club. In 2005 John
successfully completed trials and became a member of the
Spanish International squad, where he has represented his
adopted country on many occasions and has traveled to Hong
Kong, China and Portugal various times.
In the early part of this year 2010, John
resigned from the International scene, and after 30 years in
the world of bowls, many at the top level, he now feels he
wishes to put something back to a sport that has been very
good to him. He therefore applied and was successful in
being appointed the National Director of Bowls in Spain.
John wishes to continue the good work of his predecessors
and further the sport of bowls in Spain, and with the help
of all clubs and bowlers alike, he feels we can all be
successful in this quest.
