Club Champs

As we enter December, we are getting to the halfway mark of the bowling season, so remember to get your club championship matches played so you are not racing towards the end of the season.

President's Message

Premier Teams

Congratulations to our Men's and Women's teams for making the finals, but unfortunately, they were unable to get the wins—a great effort from both teams.  Both sides have performed well.

Corporate/Social Events

Thank you to the members who have helped at some of our corporate functions.  Your help is appreciated.  So, thank you. 

We still have more functions and need more volunteers.  There will be a list of events by the kitchen, and please write your name if you can help.

New Club Uniform

Julie is checking sizes for the new uniform.  You need to try on samples so she knows your sizing. If you see Grant or Julie at the Club, check with them if they have time to look at sizing for you.

New Bar Staff

Welcome to Chanelle and Maddy our new bar ladies.  Please make them feel welcome and introduce yourselves to the ladies.

With the arrival of our new bar staff, please keep the marked car parks free.  They regularly purchase products and need to park by the club entrance.  Please don't park in the allocated car parks. 

Christmas Message

We all need to be vigilant, especially at this time of the year, in relation to looking out for each other.  It can be stressful for some people, so keep an eye on your club members.  With increased Police presence on the roads, we all need to be mindful that we don't drink and drive.  So be safe out there.

Regards, Greg
