Club Newsletter 31 October 2024
| Welcome to our Club’s Newsletter. Hi everybody, Welcome to our Club’s Newsletter. Quite a lot of water passed under the bridge in October. The meeting with the members on 14 October was attended by 84 people – almost a full house for the eastern end. It was very gratifying to see the animated involvement of people answering the 5 questions posed by the Board, and then participating in the Q&A, which covered as many subjects as people wanted to raise. We have distilled the answers to the questions and incorporated them as additional slides to those used at the meeting. The full slide pack is now on the web site in the Members Section. We have similarly distilled what we assessed as action items from the meeting, and they will be added to our long laundry list of things we keep as an action list. Included in that list is obtaining more information about our asbestos matters, which we have commenced, and I will keep you informed as that comes to hand. A really big thankyou to all who attended and gave of their time. At the Special General Meeting held on 25 October, members gave the Board approval to expend funds to modify our kitchen, and as a consequence we have now entered into contract with Erik Guan for catering services, commencing 21 January 2025. We also accepted the quotation for kitchen modifications, and they are planned to last for a week, starting on December 9. Thank you for the 95 members who attended and gave this important change your overwhelming support. You will probably see Erik around the Club from time to time as he finalises how he intends to operate. The Xmas function for presentations on 7 December will go ahead as planned, but after the 9th, the daily fare will be light meals, toasties and daily specials as Renee works through her pantry to reduce stock. There will be daily specials and surprises, so don’t leave town. Catering service for the large raffle to be drawn on 13 December and the final breakup before Xmas on the 20th will both be sumptuous BBQs. There are signs up in the Club about the arrangements. It will all be quite jolly so please do come along. December 20th will also be Renee’s final fling, so please put it in your diary to come and wish her all the very best and give Renee the thanks and send off she deserves. Do you have a marketing or advertising background – we need help in developing and delivering a new promotional program & especially Facebook. Please contact me or Pam or Tracey soonest please. For those who appreciate a good non-fiction read, the Board has approved a revised edition of the Club’s By-Laws and the Club Operating Manual, and both are now on the web site and in the folder adjacent to the Bowls Office. The Club’s Constitution is due for review too, so if you have any ideas, please let me know. Don’t forget the BMC AGM is on 18 November and needs your support please. The Skills and Drills program will go into hibernation from completion of the final session on 11 November until 2025. There will be some novelty games followed by morning tea. Please bring a plate to share with your fellow athletes, and everybody who has attended during the year is welcome. What a great feature this coaching class is for our club. Well done and huge thanks to all the coaches for your dedication and patience. There’s been some comment about the change in membership fees I highlighted in the last newsletter. We are at the bottom of the food chain in this regard and have no choice but to react to the increases set by Bowls Australia, Bowls Queensland, and the Sunshine Coast District. We kept it to the absolute minimum. But many thanks for continuing to support your club and we hope to see more of you. On a different matter, can I remind members please that we haven’t collected dead batteries for several months now, but they can be taken to Aldi for disposal. Please do not leave them in the clubhouse. Almost last but not least – it’s time to get your tickets for the mega raffle. $10-a-go or buy a book for your friends. And you can’t help but notice the Xmas feel about the place. Many thanks indeed to Sue and Greg Lodge, and Viv Darcy and David Missan who came in early on Sunday last to do the hard yards. What a difference it makes. At the risk of sounding like the proverbial cracked record, your Club needs a new Board Secretary now and will need 5 or 6 new Directors next year. Please give it some serious thought. I’m happy to chat whenever you are, or you can find out stuff from other Directors. So, there you have it, just another average month in the life of your Club. And don’t forget that the Pelican 4s are on this coming Saturday and Sunday – come and watch and support the players. As always, a great big thankyou to our sponsors, and it was great to see those who could make it to our sponsor’s day held at the Club last Saturday – all had a great time and there might be some star bowlers in the making, and it was really fascinating to share their stories and adventures. See you at our Bowlo. David Shackleton Board Chairperson |
