President's Messages
Bowls Committee
Two weeks in and there’s no rest for the committee. We welcomed the 2 newest members to their first committee meeting held just 3 days after being voted in at the AGM.
As promised, the reviews into the past season have commenced, with some changes being easily identified and earmarked for implementation. Others will take longer for recommendations to be finalised and will be announced once they have been presented and accepted by the committee.
Fortnightly Dinners
Due to the low numbers of members electing to come down to the club for a Friday night meal, it was decided to temporarily pause our fortnightly meals with Rhys until 18 September, when he will be used to cater for our season-opening dinner. Rhys will then continue during summer to provide the variety of delicious and good-value meals we have come to expect from him and his team. Therefore, all scheduled meals from 22 May, inclusive, have been cancelled.
Pizza Night Coming Soon
To ensure the club is able to provide an alternative quality snack/meal at reasonable prices, committee members recently sampled a variety of pizzas from Mia Mangia Pizza Company. There are 2 sizes available – 7” and 12” – with garlic bread an optional extra. The intent is for the pizzas to be available during Happy Hour, Member’s Draws etc.
These will be available for purchase beginning 05 June (i.e. the next Member’s Draw). There will be 5 choices of toppings available for members to choose from. They are:
- Capricciosa
- Hawaiian
- Margherita
- Pepperoni
- Vegetarian
Orders MUST be placed on the sign-up sheet located on the noticeboard next to the kitchen no Later than 03 June. Cost: 7” is $12 and 12” is $18.
Members Draw
The next Members Draw will be 05 June with the jackpot now sitting at $400! Come down for a tasty pizza and enjoy the company of your fellow club members with the chance to go home $400 richer!
Performance and Coaching Enhancement
As I stated in my address at the AGM, I am committed to building on the improvement seen on the greens last season by all teams across the Divisions. The committee received 3 proposals put forward by Greg Miller.
The committee approved two proposals for him to conduct a search for a high performance coach and/or a marquee player to compliment the top sides. The committee rejected one proposal for a Performance Mindfulness Coach.
The committee looks forward to receiving the final presentations from Greg for review and assessment. We’ll keep you updated.
