Shades Update
I reported last week that the work was on the home stretch. Good news is that the major construction work is complete. A few final cosmetic touches in the form of painting to go. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the project from inception to completion. It has been inspiring to see and feel the energy and interest that the project has generated. Thank you to the Marryatville Trust who generously provided a grant to complete the work.

Indoor Biased Carpet Bowls
We are now midway in the carpet bowls pennant season with some wins and some losses. Competition is fierce and we are keen to climb the ladder.
Practice is held on Monday mornings and games on Tuesday mornings in a variety of locations. Our season began on the 30th April and ends on the 6th August. We are planning a mixed gender indoor bowls tournament for a Friday night (between meal nights) to include short games followed by a meal. Everyone is welcome to play or just enjoy the night. Date and details will be announced soon. We are fortunate to have a keen group of ladies who enjoy the competition, and the social interactions in a warm and friendly environment.

Invitation to KMBC Members for Thankyou Celebration
This Thursday Sarah has her 30th chemotherapy cycle of Enhertu. We are pleased to say that recent scans show Sarah’s cancer is still stable and Enhertu is still working for her. Sarah wouldn’t have been able to make it this far with Enhertu without your amazing support and for that our family will be forever grateful.
As a thank you to everyone who has supported us, we have planned a celebration on Saturday 13 July 2024 at Kensington Marryatville Bowls Club. Please click on the link for more details and to RSVP. Spots are limited so get in quick and we look forward to seeing you there: https://www.trybooking.com/CRYHC
