Sun shines on social bowls

Molong Bowling Club Roving Report – Margot Brown

Sunday social bowls has been a great success with 12 bowlers braving the greens.

The sun was shining last Sunday and was very pleasant. Thanks to those who turned up and support the club, its appreciated.

Great to see the Trethowans back at the club. Bron was bowling, with some good shots ….. the sound of “fantastic shot Bron” echoed around the greens.

There were also a few…. “bad shots” echoing around as well, but those names will remain anonymous.

Thanks to Gossie for rolling the greens and having them spot on, to Janelle and Yvonne for keeping us hydrated and Pez and Yvonne for cooking the barbecue. Team effort once again.

Sunday social bowls will continue every Sunday from 11am to 2pm. You don’t have to register, just rock up ... and we make it up as we go. Cost is $10 covering green fees and a sausage sizzle.

Wednesday social bowls continues as well. The bar is stocked for beverages and it’s a good social afternoon if you have a few hours.

The Board of Directors would like to advise patrons, who were financial members from July 2022 to June 2023 that they are NOT required to pay membership fees until July 2024.

This had been approved as a goodwill gesture to our patrons due to the unforeseen circumstances of the club.

HOWEVER, if any member would still like to pay fees it will be treated as a donation to the club.

The Board would like to reiterate their position relating to the club’s insurance claim. A second scope of works has been submitted to MAAS Construction, following large omissions to the first scope of works.

NO decision has been made regarding the future of the club and will NOT be made until the final decision from the clubs Insurance Company is received.

Good luck to Chris Beatty who is off to Wollongong this month to compete in the State Tournament. Our club is still afloat. We are compromising as best we can. Come and support us when we have social events if you can, it would be appreciated.

All interested men’s pennant players, pennants in month of August. Please contact Janelle and put your name down. We need 24 players please.

Happy 90th birthday to our valued member John Beatty. What a great innings, Johnny Boy and still playing bowls. Cheers to the next 10 years and continued bowls old boy!
