End of Season Trip 2006-2007
During May, some members of the Club took up the offer of an organized End of Season Trip – to
the greater Gippsland Lakes area of Victoria.
Those who attended enjoyed
their time away, ably led by our Coach Captain! Highlights include a
sing-a-long with Guitar and Madeline in Bruthen, travelling along the
Silt Jetties, seeing wild Kangaroos, Wallabies, Koalas and more
wildlife, enjoying great food and good spirits!
Following the success of
this venture, it is anticipated the Club will organize a similar
outing to a new location next year.

Ashburton Christmas Party
The rooms were
decorated, tables looked grand,
People arriving for
sherries and nibbles,
A great evening
ahead was planned.
Money was taken, the
food smelt superb,
What was going on,
the locals asked,
That filled the car
parks in the suburb?
It was the Ashy
Bowls Christmas party,
Why people were all
dressed up.
Locals also wanted
to be invited.
Ken and his catering
core were officiating,
With Liz as MC,
The band was
striking a chord, and entertaining.
Spit Roast with all
the trimmings,
And jokes to
entertain the masses,
The Ashy group has
fun partying.
Everyone had their
fill of food and a good time,
The dancing was a
treat!
Who wasn’t in on
that long Congo line?
Thanks to all who
organized and planned,
It went off a hoot,
Here’s to a Merry
Christmas,
And a Jolly New Year, to boot!

New ramp for lower green.
During the winter period, a Ramp was installed by the City of Boroondara, allowing easy access for our Members to the lower green.
This new feature at the Club is very welcome, our thanks to the Council for their continued support and development of the facilities of the Club, it will allow the Club to offer the full Club for all members, able bodied or not.
The Ramp has 3 levels, and has replaced steps, at the North and West of the Green.

ASHY DASHERS win VRI bowls triples championship
again!
During August, the VRI Bowls Club ran its biennial Club Triples Championship. A number of Ashburton
Players entered, as members also of the VRI Bowls Club.
We were successfully
represented – with 2 of our teams making it to the semi- finals,
unfortunately they played each other, and so only one went through
to the Grand Final.
Bob Dickson (lead), Noel
Fitzgerald (second) and Tony Villani (Skip), were successful in
winning their Third Consecutive Triples Championship in the VRI,
defeating a team from Sunshine in the Final.
The Winners are Grinners (as
shown in this photo).
Well Done Ashburton!!
