However, the individual results overall were better than in any other season. As the Swan won its fourth league title in a row. The victorious squad was Dave Rowson, Martin Hemingway, Andy Mailer, Allan Whittaker, Dave Smith, Chaz Charleton, Stuart Atkinson, Mally Ezard, Richard Hughes and Roger Allison. Swan will be striving for five years in a row this season. The loss of four players in 1995 from the first team has hit the teams in lower divisions who had gained promotion but were then forced to lose players to teams above.
All new members are most welcome to bowl at any level.
Without doubt the Black Swan's most well known member on the Crown Green Bowls circuit has been Andy Mailer. As well as personally entering competitions far and wide Andy Mailer acted as secretary to the Harrogate Amateur Bowling Association from 1986 - 1996 and was instrumental in further developing the game in Harrogate, and also in bringing about the formation of the North Yorkshire County Parks. Also it is only right to mention individuals who have put in a lot of hard work and effort to get the club to the top and make it such a good club to be a member of. In the early days Mike Kay devoted a lot of effort as secretary, ably followed and surpassed by Andy Mailer. Latterly Barbara Fryer and Stuart Atkinson have both kept up the standards set.
