Bowls Newsletter - 10/12/23
A and B greens will be closed on January 4th for maintenance. C Green will be top dressed during the break therefore will be unavailable for three weeks.
Our Christmas Dinner is fully booked so unfortunately there are no places left for late comers. Heather Garnett will collect the final payments as you arrive. A table seating plan will be posted at the payment location. Don't forget that you have pre-rdered your meal!
The Christmas raffle is one of our major fundraisers and has been well supported by many club members who sold tickets. Thank you to Nev for co-ordinating the prizes and to everyone who has generously donated. In all there are 18 fantastic prizes. Doug will draw the raffle during the evening. Pip Malone is our resident DJ for the evening. She has promised to take requests.
No Christmas Dinner would be complete without a visit from Father Christmas. We will see if he has space on his hectic calendar to drop in during the evening. Volunteers needed to assist with room set up on Friday morning at 10am.
Wednesday: All teams played at home.
Thursday: Both teams played at home.
Saturday: A day where the rain was the winner with all teams sharing equal points with their opponents.
Invictus Australia
The Committee, through Pat Lee, has been working to build a relationship initially with local RSL clubs and more recently with Invictus Australia. With the support of Bowls Australia, we have confirmed Friday January 19th for an Invictus event. The evening is a family night of enjoying bowls, sausage sizzle and a few drinks.
Men's Country Carnival
January 29th is when the club is hosting Men's Country Carnival fours. On January 30th we will be hosting Men's Country Carnival singles
Can all members with outstanding books and monies please return them to the bowling club blue box by no later than tomorrow as December 11th is the closing date! Thank you to all those who put in the effort, I am extremely appreciative of everybody's support.

December 16th sees the club being hired out for Nocelle Foods (Natures Delight). There will be some adult games conducted on the tennis courts from 4pm with bowls being undertaken from 5-8pm. There is only one team playing home that day; if there is a club member or two that can volunteer their time after bowls to show those attending the club hire how to play the game it would be much appreciated.
Please support Thursday Night Owls in State Comp! Bowls SA is running a video competition through its Night Owls Bowls Facebook and Instagram pages.

Please contact Anne O’Dea (0407797401) if you’re able to help.
Help needed for Thursday December 14 - our final Night Owls for 2023. Sausage sizzle service (5:30pm - 7:30pm) and assistance with the after bowls supper (8pm-9pm). It doesn't have to be the same person - you can choose to help with just one.
Thanks, Anne
Don't forget that happy hour takes place at the club each and every Friday night and it's a great way to socialise with other members of the KMBC family.
It would be appreciative for ALL events at the club that the inside duty team make sure that the screen is on as part of the set up duties. It is imperative we display our sponsors names at ALL events as this is the only medium we have for continuous exposure and advertising to support their businesses. Appreciate everybody's support on this matter.
Thanks heaps, Nev Y
Please remember that when you visit one of our club sponsors to let them know you are from the KMBC so they know their sponsorship is worthwhile. Sponsors play a vital role in the future of our club so please be sure to support them whenever you can. Anyone who has an idea about a potential sponsor please approach anyone on the Committee to share your ideas.
