Bowls Newsletter - 21/01/24
Another busy week and positive to see so many of you enjoying the facilities. The BBQ area renovation is almost complete with only the decking to be painted. The new BBQ has been installed and used for Thursday Night Owls and Invictus Family night. Club Championships are progressing and slowly getting to the pointy end. A reminder to indicate rink, date and time on the board. Many members came to support Phillip Grant-Allan at Carol’s wake. Invictus Australia enjoyed a family night of bowls and a BBQ.
Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook (Kensington Marryatville Bowling Club) and Instagram (kensikookaburras). Thanks to Scotty, Pip, Georgia and Gabs for getting us started with some great photos from their game last week.
Wednesday: All teams played at home.
Thursday: Both teams played at home. Two good wins
Saturday:
A reminder that rinks 3 and 4 on A green remain closed. Please look at the board at the side entry to the clubrooms for notifications regarding greens.
On Friday night the club hosted an Invictus family night. It was a wonderful night thoroughly enjoyed by all. The weather gods provided a magnificent evening for bowling, mild temperature and no wind. A pity it wasn’t a pennant match!. Greens as usual were running really well.
Vanessa from Invictus Australia introduced the event and passed to Brett Herbert from Bowls Australia. Brett managed bowling with ease for all ages and abilities. He probably regretted offering chocolate bars for participants who touched the jack. The supply of chocolate bars at the club is now zero and Brett’s wallet much lighter. Nothing like an incentive.
Thursday January 25 from 12pm until 5pm. Volunteers to assist with bowling please. This is one for the men to do as Thursday is ladies playing day.
Fours on Monday January 29 and Singles on Tuesday 30. Peter Glazbrook is event manager for both days and will be seeking volunteers for various tasks. See below for information from Peter.
Update
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to assist during the two days.
Please note A and B green will be unavailable on these days.
Please contact Peter Glazbrook events coordinator if you have any questions.

The next Friday night meal is being held on February 9th, there is no meal this Friday due to it being Australia Day. The menu of the next meal is a roast followed by dessert. Cost remains $20 for the two course meal. Don't forget to put your names down in the cubhouse two days prior at the latest.
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.
