NEWS FROM THE BOARD

Hi everybody
Here are some of the items discussed at our Board meeting this week.

Volunteers

Following comments expressed at the Information Afternoon, we had a lengthy discussion about our volunteers and the way they are rewarded. We will shortly be setting out guidelines for our volunteers so that they feel appreciated and that the rewards which we offer are fairly distributed.

Toilet Upgrade

Tenders will shortly go out for this project. If you know a builder/plumber who would be interested in quoting for this job, the tenders will be listed on Tenders SA.

There will inevitably be some disruption to our Club activities during construction (which is expected to take 2 – 3 months starting in July) but we hope to keep this to a minimum. There will be portable toilets located in the carpark for our use and we will temporarily lose some car parking space, but I am sure we will manage. More details as they become available.

New air conditioning units

Just a reminder that the whole Club will be closed from Monday to Friday in the first week of May ( No Wednesday bowls or Fitness) while the new air conditioning units are installed.

Presentation Night at The Vines

Tickets can now be purchased from Liz Dempster or the Bar. Please note that if you wish to order the Fish dish on the menu, you must preorder it.

New Law Books

Please contact me by the weekend if you wish to purchase a new law book.

Metropolitan Bowls AGM

Following the sentiments expressed last Sunday, the Board has voted to submit motions to the MBA AGM on the following topics

Points are shared equally by Clubs when play is disrupted or disbanded at some or all venues because of weather.
Thursday Ladies Pennants should be played without a break
Wednesday Bowls should commence at 10.00am

40th Birthday Afternoon Tea.

Because our toilets may not be completed by Sept 17 our original date, we have chosen Sunday October 15th as our new date. We are currently compiling a list of former players, so any contact details for these would be helpful. We are developing a list of former players which we will put on the back wall. If you can add any names or contact details, this would help us.
