President's Message
Hi everyone. Well, we are not far away from another bowling season. The weather is warming up, and the green is looking good. If we can get on the green for about 2 hours a day before opening, we will, but we want to keep it strong since we have a hot, dry summer ahead of us.
Interclub Registrations
Hopefully you have entered your names for the various competitions. If you haven't, please do so as soon as possible.
On Thursday 17 and 24 September 2026, from 5:30 pm until 6:30 pm, Grant and Julie will be at the club to issue the new uniforms. This will include a shirt and trousers, shorts, etc. To get your new uniform, you must return your outdated shirt and trousers. You will not receive your new uniform until you return your old ones. Grant and Julie will also be there on Saturday 19 September 2026, between 11:30 am and 12:30 pm.
The club will require all members to wear the new uniform from opening day.
Subs are now due we need these to help us function so please pay as soon as you can. If any member is under financial pressure, please contact me, and we can help. Mike has a table with the amounts for the various categories.
It's great news to hear that our patron, Malcolm (Mally) Taylor, is recovering well in hospital and will hopefully be discharged early next week.
Ross Groves continues to get better, and hopefully he will also be discharged this week. Malcolm and Ross are both in Burwood, and I believe visitors are seeing both of them, which is great to see. If you are like me and keep picking up all the bugs going around, it's best to ring the lads or send a message. Word has come back to me that Malcolm has been instructing his doctor. Ironically, both Malc and Ross are life members.
Jas is also on the mend after her operation. We wish you a speedy recovery Jas.
A big thanks to the ladies who have been at the club all weekend cleaning up the gardens, and also to Michael for keeping the hedges and lawns looking tidy. To everyone who helps with this, thank you.
We have a new fridge in the locker room; the two older ones have been removed. The new one has been serviced and has had new seals placed around the doors. It looks sharp; we will have the honesty system going. You are expected to pay the same week that you use this facility. Because of its size, the fridge will be locked during interclub to avoid temptation. Thanks to Colin who got this fridge for us from the Opawa Bowling Club.
We still have 2 bowls missing. They are white with grey speckles; they have a bulldog as the emblem and the number 222558 stamped on them. I believe that someone has used them and left them in their bag. Please return them when you find them.
Just a reminder: club bowls can be used by members, but they must be signed out and put straight back for others to use. We need these during corporate events.
Come and enjoy a meal when you pick up your uniform. Cheers Clappy
