Bowls Newsletter - 14/04/24
The carnival was a great success thanks to Peter Glazbrook’s management. Both days ran smoothly. The large group of members who volunteered were mentioned and thanked in last week’s detail. It is pleasing to hear positive feedback from players who come to the club. I have included one example below sent through from Bowls SA
Good Morning,

The AGM will be held on Friday May 10 beginning at 5pm. Put the date into your calendars. Great to the number of nominations.
C green was top-dressed last Friday and is closed until further notice.
It’s the off season and you are probably wanting to wind down from bowls for a while however the time presents an opportunity to plan for next season. There has been interest from several of you regarding becoming accredited markers, measurers and umpires. I have contacted Bowls SA about running sessions at the club and they would be pleased to do so over three days but not consecutive days. For those who are interested please let me know a few dates and / or days that would suit and I will get back to Bowls SA.
