Champ/War Amps
The club was happy to host Darevin and his grandparents to our annual fundraising event for the Champ/War Amps. The weather was perfect. It was well attended as normal, with 4 teams of 4, and 4 teams of 3. It was a fun time out on the green. After the game everyone enjoyed cake and socializing. Darevin was presented with a cheque for $1,300.00 to go to the War Amps. He said a few words and is a worthy ambassador of the charity.
Thanks to all who volunteered and participated to make it happen.
Our Club in red & white!
Let’s surpass our goal of $4,000 this time.

A special welcome to all our Novice Bowlers
FUN GUARANTEED
REFRESHMENTS AVAILABLE
Well wasn’t it great to be out on the green again!
The first Bowl was bowled by Markey Pellow, who joined the club 29 years ago and is still an avid bowler with the club.
Sixty four members ( 5 novices) joined in the draw. A little rain didn’t deter the bowlers as shortly the sun appeared and it was a wonderful afternoon.
A social time was held after the draw in the club house, providing an opportunity to meet our novices and friends after the winter break.
Enjoy the coming bowling season with draws, club tournaments, open tournaments, fun days and leagues.
GREAT BOWLING
Kathleen Motley, Games Director

Thanks to all the dedicated coaches who put in long days helping people to learn to bowl. Thanks also to all the club members who came out to help. It makes it so much easier with your help.

Volunteers are needed in the following areas:
GROUNDS. General light maintenance of flower beds and mowing and edging grass surrounds around the Green, around the Club House and rear grass parking lot. The main work day is every Monday morning throughout the season. Ideally we should have about 10-12 people so we could rotate the tasks as some commitment is needed but not every week. Refreshment break, tea, coffee and goodies provided.
GREENS. Trainee mower operators with a view to assist with the regular Monday, Wednesday and Friday grass cutting of the green. Usually, a team of two but ideally a team of three. Trainee Greens Iron (roller) operator. At least once a week but ideally after every grass cutting. Again, we should have a list of 10-12 people in total so that the tasks can be rotated and provide cover for vacations. These operators can also be introduced and trained in the use of machines that are not used every week. These machines are all selfpropelled and relatively easy to use.
2. Regularly throughout the summer season and occasionally during the winter season.
SOCIAL/KITCHEN. The function at present of the Social/Kitchen is to provide tea, coffee and goodies during Club and Open Competitions from approximately 9.00 am to 2.00 pm. The volunteers working a rota system. Volunteers will be needed as follows-

Volunteers willing to assist with occasional extra work around the clubhouse, grounds and greens. Tasks include painting, cleaning, equipment and building maintenance and greens marking for competitions.
