HALLOWEEN GAMES DAY – 2024

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know, Social.

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.

The Library needs your help

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know.

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.

Management Needs for PLBC

Written by Jo-Anne Merrell on . Posted in Need to Know.

Dear Members:

This successful bowling season is drawing to a close and many thanks to those leaders and volunteers who are responsible for that success.  We are a large club with over 150 members and it is time to consider our management needs for next season. In November we must select the members who will guide us in 2025. It is a rewarding experience to help with the running of our club and the nominations committee needs to hear from those who are willing to stand.  In particular the following important areas are in need of a candidate. 

We must find a treasurer. The qualifications needed do not demand a chartered accountant. Within our membership there will be many of you who have managed and kept financial records in your respective careers.

We need someone to be responsible for our building requirements. A role that requires management and attention to the routine use and upkeep of the property.

There is a requirement for a Social Director on the Board. Last year the annual meeting failed to find a candidate. One of the main duties of the Social Director is the kitchen and the problem with candidates being unwilling to accept that responsibility.  However an elected candidate, with the Boards’s help could set up a kitchen management arrangement with the assistance of our many wonderful volunteers.

In particular the interest of our new members, in taking up the challenge, would be most welcome. We need to close the gap from the lost “covid” years and to encourage an influx of new talent and enthusiasm.

We anxiously await your response ( Trevor, Martin and Geoff )
