NEWS FROM THE BOARD

Hi all

Here is the report from this week’s Board meeting

Pennant Finals

Thank you to all the members who supported our players in the finals. Every year our members always come and support our players and this is what makes us a great Club.

Presentation Dinner

Tickets can now be purchased. You can pay Liz Dempster or pay at the bar. Tickets are $35- per member and $37- for non members. At the dinner we will be handing out Pennant badges for all the players who played in the Premiership winning teams and also to those players who played half of the games in a side which won a premiership, so we would like to see as many of those players as possible at the dinner, so that we can all extend our congratulations to them.

Annual General Meeting

This is being held on Tuesday 14th May at 6.00pm. Please consider nominating for a position on the Board. It can be a very worthwhile experience and you will then have a very good understanding of how our Club operates. We are a small Board and as volunteers we devote quite a few hours to make sure that our Club is among the best. However, it is important that we have all positions filled and new ideas and plans are always welcome. We will be serving soup and crusty bread before the meeting from 5.30pm.

Women’s Country Carnival

We hosted two days of this Carnival this week and we received a lot of compliments for our efficiency and our hospitality. Thanks to all the helpers who worked on those days. We were happy to host Caddieshack Bowls on Monday. Unfortunately the rain on Monday interrupted play and not all the games were able to be completed despite our best efforts.

Council news

Recently the Council conducted an audit of the lighting and poles of all the sporting clubs within the Council area. Our lights were upgraded a few years ago but our poles are showing signs of corrosion and will have to be replaced in the near future. In the meantime, our poles have received repairs which will prevent further corrosion. The Council has also discussed the replacement of “B” green which at present is scheduled to be replaced in 2026/27. There is considerable planning to be done by the Council before the replacement takes place.

Bowls SA Club of the Year

Because of the success of our Club this year, not only in Pennants, we have entered our Club for this award. The winner will be announced at a dinner on May31st.

Winter Bowls

Winter bowls commences on Saturday April 13th and will continue every Wednesday and Saturday thereafter. You can nominate to play pairs or triples on both days, but because everyone who wants to play will get a game, sometimes pairs will have to be converted to triples if there are not enough rinks available. Triples will not be a separate competition but will play against pairs using the same number of bowls.

Regards

Mary Baum

President
