This years annual Halloween Games Day took place on Saturday 26th October.
It was well attended by the full complement of 12 mixed triples teams. They all entered into the spirit of the games with many wearing very imaginative costumes. The games played were very much not Bowling orientated. The teams played electronic Tenpin Bowling, Table Curling, Mini Basket Ball, Darts, Corn Hole and Ladder Ball. The games were all very competitive.
After the games the were served with a well-earned beverage and a tasty Chilli and delicious dessert.
The day was rounded off with the presentation of prizes to the winning team of Kate Wilson, Terry Nichols and Gerda Veld.
Two other teams skipped by Diane Cruickshank and Barry Conn tied for first place. A playoff of one dart nearest the bullseye decided the winner.
A Prize of a fantastic Pumpkin Decoration made and donated by Lynne Hutchinson was presented to the winner of the Best Costume – Dianna Olenick.
Thanks to all the participants, including helpers with set up, food preparation, the games and those that helped with the clean up.

It is wonderful that many people use the library but it appears that some books are not being returned but are being replaced.
Please remember this is a LIBRARY not a book exchange. When you borrow books, they should ALWAYS BE RETURNED.
The library thrives on the books donated by members for others to enjoy. However, due to limited shelf space, please keep books published 20, 30 or more years ago at home and bring them to the club in April for the garage/book sale.
Thank you everyone.

We are now in the midst of our bowling season and our annual general meeting seems far away. However, as we are enjoying the activities and social interactions of our club, it is also the logical time to consider the management responsibilities that make our club the success that it is. Our Board of Directors collectively undertakes the responsibilities and decisions that are necessary to maintain the strength and continuity of that success.
The reason for this letter to you all is to emphasize that the Board of Directors is made up of club members. Members who are willing to step up and donate some of their time and experience to assist in managing the needed decisions and guidance. In November, at our annual meeting we shall need to fill those positions for the coming year.
The Nominations Committee will like to know of any club members who are interested in serving on the Board of Directors now, or, just as importantly, interested in being a potential candidate in a following year and finding out from the existing executive membership what is involved.
The Board of Directors also depends on the contribution of a large group of members with a variety of interests and responsibilities. Within a club the size of our own there will be an amazing variety of talent and experience to draw from. There is a lot of satisfaction in being part of the club’s activities. However you would like to be involved, there will be opportunities.
Below are the positions needed to be filled in November. Some will have incumbent members willing to continue, others waiting for nominees. Please let the Nomination Committee members (Trevor Motley, Martin Fereday, Geoff Holland) know of any interest or questions you may have over the next few weeks. Remember that everyone who is now, or has been involved in the club’s management also started with making the first decision. “I would like to help”.
