Eleanor Allan

Eleanor Stuart Allan is a former Scottish international female lawn bowler who also became an administrator of the sport. As a player she won the fours gold medal at the 1995 Atlantic Bowls Championships, partnering Betty Forsyth, Frances Whyte and Liz Dickson. Away from the green she served as a Director of World Bowls from 2001 to 2012 and remains a life member of that body, and she is also the Secretary for Bowls Scotland. Her entry therefore covers both a championship-winning playing career in the fours format, where four players share a team, and a long record of governance in the national and world bodies that run lawn bowls.
