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.
