Northern News 14 February No 11 2007 – 08
Welcome to the first newsletter of 2008. For many of you the past few weeks have been very busy out on the greens, and with the fine weather as a bonus there have been some great games, competitions and results. It was with real sadness that we learnt of the deaths during the holiday period of very close family members of Bill Prout and Carol Davidson. To both Bill and Carol and families we extend our sympathies and condolences at this difficult time.
It has been with great pride that we have followed the exploits of some of our club members in their various quests for national and international honours. Warmest congratulations to Russell Meyer for his outstanding achievements in winning the National men’s singles, followed two weeks later with golden success in the World Pairs and Fours. A fantastic effort Russell.
Warmest congratulations also to Sharon Sims for winning bronze in the World triples. Sharon has announced her retirement from International Bowls after a wonderful career which has seen her win at the highest level. She is the only woman bowler to have won 3 world titles and she also has a Commonwealth gold amongst her many trophies. International bowls loss is our gain as Sharon has said that she wants to spend more time playing at Northern. Welcome home!
Congratulations also to Desiree Lambert and Feona Sayles who finished 3rd equal in the National Women’s pairs. Desiree has also had success at an International meeting in England where both her and Terry Johnson played as a result of their successes on the PBA circuit in NZ. Well done to you all. Well done also to all club members who have entered and played in the various club, centre and regional events and tournaments throughout the season. Your participation and enthusiasm is what keeps the game alive.
Forthcoming Events and Tournaments
A list of forthcoming events has been made on the board in the clubrooms. Please check to ensure that you have entered those events that you wish to play in. More entries are required for the Men’s Triples to be played at Northern next Thursday (Feb 21), and the Hospice tournament on March 8. Hospice If you have any items suitable for the auction to be held on Hospice day please bring them to the club and advise Laurie Izod who is the coordinator for Hospice this year. See Laurie also if you would be prepared to assist him and his team with any of the multitude of jobs that need attending to during the day.
Donated Books
Thanks to Roy McKenna for his donation to the club of a number of books about bowls and bowlers. These are available on loan to any club members; please let a committee member know if you wish to borrow them. They are at present in the trophy cabinet. If you wish to add to this collection the club would be very grateful.
A very busy six days is coming up from Thursday Feb 28 through to Tuesday March 4 with our greens being used for the Community Trust Zone Triples and Fours finals (Thurs and Friday) and the Interclub and Intercentre Zone finals (Sat and Sunday). We will require a lot of help from club members during this time and hope that you will be available to assist with one or more of the many jobs that will need doing (marking, setting up the greens, helping in the kitchen etc)
Thank you in anticipation of your support and assistance.
