Visitors to the Club
Just to bring to your attention, if a visiting bowler from another club wants to bowl at our club ( not an associate member) the fee is $5.00 each time. If they are to borrow bowls another $5.00 fee to be paid to the drawmaster and put in the money box in an envelope on the back of the cupboard door. Kathleen Motley

Join us in the club house after the game for the medal presentation ceremony. Tea, coffee, cake and ice cream will be served. The bar will also be open.
Measuring Clinic – May 26 at 9:30
Martin Fereday, our head umpire, will be holding a measuring clinic for this year’s novices. All novices from this year and any from last year who did not participate in a measuring clinic are encouraged to attend. Knowing how and what to measure is an important part of the game. The duty does fall to thirds but every now and again you may be playing in a position that requires you to know how. It is also one of the skills you must know before moving up to the next position. See you Friday. Some coaching for those who need help with line, weight and delivery will also be available. Sandi Mitchell, Player Development

Receipts not yet claimed, for all membership fees paid and also your bowls BC cards, are in a ziploc bag hanging on the tag board. They should be in alphabetical order. Please collect your receipt and card. Social members do not need a bowls BC card.
