The National Mixed Fours qualifier, which originally was set to take place at Hingham Sports Centre, has now been re-arranged and will take place on 17th January 2027 at East Harling Bowls Club. Start time will be 10-30am with the NCSMBA Competition Secretary Simon Willies aiming to be at the venue for 10am. Only three fours have entered the qualifier this season and the decision was made to move the event to a smaller venue on cost grounds. It is a slight improvement on last season when only two fours entered the event although only one four actually arrived at the venue.
