Vale Scott Searles
On behalf of members of the Kensington Marryatville Bowling Club I acknowledge the passing of our greatly loved newish member Scott Searles. I offer condolences to his partner Ali, his children Mark and Nicky and their families and friends. Scott passed away peacefully on Monday July 8, 2024, surrounded by family. Scott began bowling at KMBC on Thursday nights. His team Scotty’s Angels were a formidable opponent each week. Eventually the team was encouraged to play pennants where they had great success. Scott will be remembered for his warmth and friendliness around the club. He always made the most of every day.
Family and friends of Scott are invited to attend a Celebration of his Life on Friday, 19th July 2024 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at The Precinct at Alberton, 9 Queen Street, Alberton.

Intention Survey
We would appreciate responses by July 31. The purpose of the survey is as follows:
- Ensure that member personal and contact details are correct.
- Emergency contact details are current and correct.
- Find out bowling intentions. This is important because it assists with determining the number of teams we can fill on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
- Selection of areas of interest for voluntary work at the club.
I encourage you to contemplate spending a few hours of your time assisting with various tasks at the club supporting your committee and each member. Like most clubs KMBC is no different volunteers are the gold that keep us viable and functioning. You will notice that the volunteering section is more extensive this year because we have differentiated between the club’s various range of activities and events.
The link below takes you to the online survey.
If you are unable to access the survey online, please collect a copy from the club and post in box by the office window.
