Friday Night Meals
I want to clear up any misunderstanding regarding Friday Night meals. The committee was made aware of a couple of issues arising.
- MaryAnn’s kitchen would no longer provide meals due to restructuring their business.
- There were concerns expressed at a lack of volunteers to assist with the meals.
Discussion by the committee acknowledged the importance of the meals as a social gathering for members. However, given the current circumstances, the committee's decision was to discontinue meals and focus on building attendance at weekly Happy Hours. We encourage people to attend and bring food to share or order a ready-prepared meal.
There will be no volunteers required to assist with food, though Ken may need support in the bar. Those attending will be responsible for leaving the clubhouse clean and tidy as is always the case.

Breast Cancer - Play 4 BCNA
In line with Bowls SA’s partnership with the Breast Cancer Network Australia, KMBC joining forces with Bute Bowling Club’s Kate Brokate’s successful fundraiser ‘A Buck a Bowler’.
The process is simple – we gather donations in a bucket at your club, then deposit the collected funds into your bank account. By organizing ‘A Buck a Bowler’ initiative, where each player contributes a dollar during Pink Round 4 – 9 November, the bowling community can easily raise funds without extensive efforts.
The simplicity of this approach has proven successful in gathering significant donations from various clubs on the Yorke Peninsula and other areas in the past.
During the week we have opportunities to collect donations from:
- Wednesday and
- Saturday as well as
- Night Owls on Tuesday and Thursday
Night Owls Start This Week.
A reminder that the Night Owls season has commenced with both Tuesday and Thursday nights being well attended. There was a cancellation of the actual bowling on Thursday due to inclement weather but the large crowd enjoyed the night in any event with drinks, good jokes recited by Michael Ward and a raffle including an impressive meat tray. It was a really lovely night.

Happy Hour
A reminder that each Friday is Happy Hour at the Club from 5.30pm until 7pm. We encourage you to come along, bring a plate and a few friends and enjoy the social interaction and a bite to eat. After the recent successful Happy Hour with the Tennis Section of the Club, they have been invited to join us again on Friday 8 November 2024 at 5.30pm. Please make them welcome.
We will also be conducting a Letterbox Drop for the local community in the week preceding that date, extending an invitation for them to join us.
