Between Season Activities
of Ashburton Bowlers
Have you ever wondered what
happens to Bowlers (young and
young at heart), when their
Pennant Season Finishes in March?
Well! Wonder no more -
at Ashburton Bowls Club, we
play on our Grass green until
late June.
Also, there are many teams (Ladies,
Mens and Mixed) who enter in
the Tournaments and Pennant
Competition of Southern Indoor
Bowls Club, in Hawthorn Road,
Caulfield South. Our members
have become quite handy
at that location - refer our
news page for the Ladies Big
Win!
Some members participate in
Indoor Bias Bowls (the little
ones) on the mats at the Club,
on a Monday night practice,
and Tuesday Evening and/or Wednesday
Afternoon Pennant competition.
Again, Our teams have
brought home the bacon - with
Division wins in recent years!
During the Winter months, it
is also normal activities for
some members to travel - some
overseas, others to Northern
States, often with Bowls in
hand. Our "Attack Force
Ashy" at the Annual Batemans
Bay tournament is attracting
more and more local members,
with more and more success being
won each year - refer the story
below.
Meanwhile, other members take
time out, to tend to duties
on the home front, or plan their
attack on the Championships
for next season.
Whatever activities you pursue,
we hope you are having a healthy
and happy time in the Winter,
and look forward to welcoming
our past and new members to
the Official Opening of the
Season, on Saturday, September
3rd, 2011.
The ever-reliable "Ken's Catering"
crew will serve a delectable
Spit Roast lunch to all who
put their name on the list,
and pay on entry to the hall.
Ken and his team have been looking
after Ashy & prior parts of
the Club for over 20 years -
he never fails to impress -
and there are always seconds
- including sweets!
Before this Scrumptuous luncheon,
a short ceremony officially
opening the season, and a social
game of bowls will be played
(weather permitting).
President Bob and the Committees
look forward to seeing as many
of you as possible on this day,
and during the season, making
good use of our magnificent
A grade greens and facilities,
that we feel are second to none.

Ashy
Bowlers Feature in 2010/11 Saturday
Pennant Finals
The Division 6 Saturday Pennant
Side of Ashburton Bowls Club
played off last season in the
Finals, after just getting into
the 4th position in the last
home-and-away season game!
Many Ashy faithful turned out,
day after day, week after week,
to follow the steady and consistent
progress of our Division 6 side
- could they replicate the efforts
of the Division 2 from the season
before, and go All the Way for
the Metro Flag?
Finals games were played on
Saturdays & Sundays of a weekend,
proving no stumbling block for
our hardened players... that
is until they got to the Penultimate
Final against Laverton, who
had only lost one game all the
season.
Our Side played well, but with
notable regulars missing in
action, and others not quite
up to scratch, the Ashburton
side lowered their colours 2
points to 12, only winning on
one rink in this Final.
The Division 6 Side has, though,
won promotion to Division 5
for Next Season! Well
Done Everyone!
Congratulations to all who played
throughout the year in all Divisions
- we look forward to a great
year next year!
Go Ashy Go!
