Hello Bowlers.
Congratulations to our Saturday 2nd, 3rd & 4th teams
and Tuesday 1st & 2nd teams for making the finals.
The Board will be considering what major
expenditure items will be incurred over the coming
years to incorporate into a 5 Year Plan.
If any member has anything they think should be
included please advise either myself or Ron Hurley
(preferably in writing) so that they can be
considered.
As the time is rapidly approaching when
nominations will be requested for positions on the
Board, Bowls and Selection Committees, please
consider nominating. As with any Club, too much is
left to too few so please think about it. New
committee members bring new ideas which are
needed if we are to prosper and grow in the future.

MARCH FUNCTIONS
On Friday, March 11: A Friendship Group that Maureen Hodgkisson
belongs to is coming along for barefoot bowls and a sausage sizzle.
Saturday, March 12: Soul Club
Remember that Monday, March 14 is Masters and Apprentices Day.
At present we are holding a booking for an engagement party on
Saturday, March 19, with a scheduled 7pm start. However, Melanie is
looking at other options, because this is the date of the divisional grand
finals, and obviously if we have a team there, people will want to come
back to the club afterwards.
Tuesday, March 29: E.A.C.H. Childcare Staff will be using the
clubroom in the morning for a workshop, followed by bowls in the
afternoon.
