Welcome to our first meeting of winter. The cooler mornings and evenings have been inconsistent but I'm sure they will be here with a
vengeance very soon. Though I have enjoyed the warm days as I'm sure you all have.
Another month has seemingly flown by but there has been plenty keeping us busy, a lovely walk, Lovedale Long Lunch, Maitland Gaol
tour, Bodyguard, Rumours, Circus Oz to name just a few as well as our normal activities. Hopefully you have been well enough to partake
in them. I hope all the Mothers had a wonderful Mothers Day too.
I am joining a group of 14 members on our club’s South Pacific cruise this Saturday 17th June, so our Management Committee Meeting is
moving to 4th July.
From
President
Wendy
Truman
Please keep in mind we have several positions becoming available for the next Probus year: Secretary, Treasurer, and Coast Sizzle team.
Graham and I visited Kay Haerland”s exhibition and were blown away with her wide variety of works and her enthusiasm when she explains the method of
her process for different textures and designs. Hopefully, many of you had the opportunity also. Congratulations Kay on your 1st Prize in the Royal Easter
Show.

COAST TENPIN BOWLS THURS.25TH MAY
What group tonight! With even more regulars away, unwell or busy with commitments and some late scratchings our team reduced even further to a
hearty 15. We certainly missed our absent members.
Our 1st lane as usual were the noisy group of girls, who were supporting one and other and all very pleased as they all scored triple digits in the second
game, and their overall totals were close.
I think Graham Thomas was still fired up after clashing with Telstra for a week after losing our phone and internet for 4 days. He managed a turkey in his
second game (3 strikes in a row) and in that game scoring 4 strikes in 5 frames.
Pat de la Haye started game 2 with a blast, in 6 frames she scored a 9, spare, spare, spare, spare then a strike. Well done Pat!
Jayne Wilson proved a holiday refreshes the soul with success.
Spare a aplenty - Jayne 7: Pat, Sheenagh Wilson, Stuart Speight 6: Faye McNamara and Rawson Ball 5.
Strikes also aplenty - Graham 9: Clyde 6: Rawson, Di Blaxell, Sheenagh 3.
Game 1:
Game 2:
Overall :
Ladies: 1st Jayne 123, Sheenagh 102, Kathy Wyborn 88
Ladies: 1st Di 128, Pat 123, Sheenagh 120

final payment date. This can be within 28 days of the
activity or at a time specified by the supplier as the final
payment date. In these cases, Club organisers will endeavour to persuade the supplier to waive the charges, but
this is not guaranteed and the Member may still be liable to
make the full payment. Where possible a date after which
no refunds are available will be shown on the advertised
