Another successful fortnight for the club with many activities happening alongside Bowls.
Music on the Deck is popular and last Sunday for St. Patricks Day we had a huge crowd.
Please come along on Fridays for our raffle and drinks. It’s a relaxed time to mix and chat. Around 4.30-6.30pm is the main raffle time as you can still go out after if you want to and the raffle is drawn around 6.15pm.
Our lovely Bridge members have settled in without any fuss. Not only playing bridge but attending the Bar, our music and other activities. We thank the Bridge team for all the additional help they are providing for our club, not just for their own Bridge set up.
Mah-jong has settled well into our new lounge area and it is great to see all our new spaces working well alongside each other.
Functions have been huge this month and we have decided to reduce the number of bookings for April given we have Easter, Our Bowls event on Easter Monday and our Master Builders day we are hosting for Bowls.
Please find attached to this update, important Board information as briefing paper 1 to assist in your own information, fact finding and preparation for our inaugural AGM on May 26th .
Our recycling is going great guns and thanks to the team for all their efforts. We have raised over $350 already.
We will be issuing you a couple more briefings to provide plenty of time for members both social and bowls.
Volunteers
We couldn’t survive or function without all the members who are volunteering regularly to mow lawns, clean bathrooms , organise the kitchen, paint and fix through our maintenance team.
I meant to thank Ian Cave last update for all his work and help on the painting of the deck.
We wish Lachie a fond farewell as he finishes up being manager this week. He is off to university and coaching. We are still interviewing for a Venue/Bar manager position.
Our first newsletter will be arriving soon. We have split them into two. Our generic Bowls club newsletter for everyone and a separate Bowls Section newsletter. They will be emailed as well as placed onto our website.
Thanks to Pam and Mel for organising, collating and editing everything and for members who have contributed.
Please note that an up to date financial statement will be in the club newsletter.
