GENERAL MANAGER’S NEWSLETTER

We have reached the end of our 22-23 season and look forward to a massive change for all coming into our new season, we have one club championship game remaining the final of the club 4’s on Sunday Morning 02/07/23 at 9am. Don’t forget our presentation day on the 6^th of August 12pm Start where we acknowledge our club champions and our hard working committees. On the 5^th of August we have our memorial shield day starting at 12 noon where we honour those members that have passed on, It is club uniform day but if you do not have a club uniform just a nice collared shirt to be worn and if you can I would encourage a black arm band also, the list for your names are in the bowls locker room.

Many exciting things happening out on the green, Saturday the 8^th of July we are a host club to qualify for the BPL Cup that will be held at Pine River. Entry is on Facebook and on the board enter via QR code on the sheet. The 9^th of July we kick off our new season with the club 4’s first up at 12:30pm with hopes the final will be played on the 23^rd of July. Our club triples nominations are up on the board so get your teams in with pairs and singles events to be boarded shortly. Our Ladies Pennants starts on the 12^th of September, sides will be selected shortly and an in house pennant trial to take place on the 1^st August and maybe a trial against another club before pennants starts. Ladies Consistency Singles starts on the 4^th of July and will conclude with the final on the 13^th of July all games going to plan. Our new master boards are also on the way and they will arrive in time for our ladies pennants they are supplied by our local men’s shed, we love supporting our local people so to be able to support them brings us great joy and we can’t wait to see how beautiful they are.

Soon we will have some boards arrive here at the club that will enable us to hold a whole range of different events here, also we will be able to create a showpiece rink or 2 where we can accommodate crowds on the green for big bowls events, so please watch this space as we are consistently moving forward every day.

A massive thankyou to our GM Glenn Phillips we have loved having you as our General Manager. You have done a fantastic job and you will be truly missed, you have supported us every step of the way and we will definitely miss that raw enthusiasm you bring every day.

Finally our structure cleaning is underway and will be completed on Wednesday and all coverings will be removed a couple of days later, already receiving a huge amount of compliments as to how good the structure looks we can’t wait to have both of our greens back in play with our beautiful roof restored to like new, it really shows as to how lucky we truly are that we can play in all weather and with the best views around. Shortly after this is complete our green will undergo the yearly vacuum with our green team putting in the hard work to keep our surface in tip top shape so a massive thankyou to all of our volunteers for your consistent effort to keep the area beautiful.
