A Message from Club President, Lionel Newbold.


I would like to warmly welcome back everyone to another season atthe Ashburton Bowls Club. The secret to success with anything wedo in life is to enjoy what we do and to share that enjoyment withothers.Our volunteers have been hard at work over the winter break.There are numerous jobs and lots of behind the scenes work thatneeds to be done to ensure the new season runs smoothly and thatthe Club looks fantastic. Thank you!‘Try Bowls Days’ will again be important to encourage potential newbowlers to have a go. I would ask you to promote participation byadvertising this activity amongst people you know.As we can see, the greens have had, and will continue to have, lotsof work done to them. Many thanks to our new green keeper — weare certainly looking forward to rolling our bowls on, what will be,fantastic surfaces . Please read carefully the importantinformation regarding the use of the greens on the next page.Good luck to all pennant teams this year. The VLBA teams will havean interesting time. Teams, for pennant, have been reduced to 12 aside and this, no doubt, will have its teething problems. It will be atesting time, especially for the selectors and every support mustbe given to them. Our RVBA Division 1 team will need to raise theirperformance to be competitive in what looks like an extremelytough draw. The focus in the RVBA section will be to try and getpromotion for our other sides. Please read carefully theinformation about the ‘local pennant competition’ which will replacethe Division 8 competition.Lastly, do support the social program at the club. There is a smallgroup of people who work very hard to provide these events andwho deserve our attendance and thanks.Enjoy the season!

Lionel Newbold

 


  

Wednesday Night Bowling
 

Every Wednesday, rotating between Ashburton and Camberwell Central  Clubs, commencing at 7.00pm.  We usually play 2 games of 10 ends, and conclude with a very sociable supper around 9:45 - 10.00pm.

All bowlers are welcome to place their name on the appropriate sheet on the club bench to advise your intention to attend, or phone Ray Salmon on 9511 4065 by Wednesday afternoon to reserve a spot for some hassle free bowling with folk you know quite well, and have the opportunity to become friendly with those from the other clubs involved.

Bowlers in their early stages of their bowling careers are most welcome to be part of these nights, and keep adding to their bowling experience.  Most nights seem to be compatible weather-wise, but there is no compulsion to play through uncomfortable weather.  Dress is casual, but newer bowlers are advised that bowls shoes are essential.

Please plan to expand your skills in both bowling and in sociability, and increase your bowling enjoyment as you share these nights with a friendly group.
