Dear Members,
Well the season is fast approaching and we have entered 2 teams in Tuesday Pennant and have added a smaller 6 person team in on Saturday. We will welcome some new bowlers and say goodbye to some that have been with the club for a long time in Shinei and Eiko and also Garry Devlin.
The new season brings a desire to get our Div 4 side to Div 3, we have long been competitive and now that we have our 2nd side in Div 6 we are focusing on the level of competition that we want to get to.
The accessible toilet and surrounds looks fantastic, some paint work and upgrading to toilets and change rooms is also taking place. Enough thanks cannot be heaped onto the sub-committee of:
Andy Smith
Roger Morrison
Malcolm McLean
Peter Nowatschenko
Phin Meer
Penny Gamble
This is the first step in a number of initiatives as this club looks to go from being a bowling club to a real community provider and support.
I thank the incoming committee for their commitment for another year and thank Graeme Lee who’s recent health scare has meant he has stepped away from the secretarial role. Graeme is why clubs such as ours exist, a sincere thank you!!!!
Roger Morrison and I will manage the role until someone steps forward with hand raised in air to help the club and committee out in this area.
Important Dates:
Opening of the green – Saturday 31st August
First practice match against Dandenong Club at our green – 7th September
2nd Practice match against MCC at our green – 14th September
3rd practice match – against Middle Park (date to be confirmed)
Social game against Dandenong Club – Wednesday 31st July at Dandenong Club – we are sending a team of 16 to Dandenong Club for some bowls and some food. I may have 1 slot available…..
Cheers
Stuart
President – Malvern Bowling Club
