After Dinner Speakers: David Bryant, Dan Burrus, Humphrey & His Band Lyttelton

The greatest lawn bowler of all time hails from Somerset in the south of England. Four times winner of the Commonwealth singles titles, three world titles, six times English outdoor champion, nine times indoor - plus a whole host of doubles and triples titles. David Bryant really was a phenomenon in his sport. Bryant studied bowls so extensively it was once said he could have lectured on the subject at degree level but it was his sportsmanship that he will be remembered for. Never afraid to applaud a good bowl by an opponent, some players found it intimidating - almost gamesmanship, especially when he often bettered it with his very next shot. Bryant no longer competes at the big events but is still an active participant at club level in England.
