Breast Cancer - Play 4 BCNA
KMBC Supporting Bowls SA Pink Round this week 4 – 9 November 2024. “A Buck a Bowler”.
Thank you for supporting the pink round. We raised $167.65, excellent effort. Research into breast cancer has resulted in a greater survival rate due to early intervention and advancements in treatment. Sadly, the risk of diagnosis is 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Men are not excluded however the rates are much less being 1 in 542.

State Mens Triples
The club hosted Men’s State Triples on Sunday with 72 bowlers competing. Once again the weather gods were on our side. A glorious 26 and a very slight breeze.
Thank you to all who assisted to make the event possible and promote the club in a positive light to all who visited and competed. Peter Glazbrook managed the event like clockwork. John and Paula Butterworth operated the kitchen with orders taken for pies pasties pre-game and served at lunchtime. Mike and Heather Lynch were both on duty in the kitchen for a short time.
Thank you to Liz Greenfield who came to help but wasn’t needed today. Ken Watson and Phil McBride multi-tasked with umpiring, measuring and BowlsLink entry. Ken Mason and I worked the bar.
