Newsletter – 20 April 2024
| Hello to all our Club Members, It’s terrific to see our new green up and running. Now that the weather gods seem to be in the right mood, we should be able to regenerate the Club’s patronage we are used to seeing at this time of year. On that note, our Bistro will be returning to normal operations after 24 April when Renee returns from her well-earned break. If ever we needed to be convinced of the value of the bistro, it was on Friday night trading where the sales graph was not where it usually sits when customers are enjoying a good meal at great value. It was with some sadness that I listened to the usual vigorous but well intentioned sledging by his colleagues, but heartfelt farewell response by “Bloody Old Harvey”, who is moving to Canberra to provide some wise advice to those who run our country on matters they should attend to. We wish him all the very best and give a big Thank You for his many years of devoted contribution to our Club. The raffle prize winning pool might stabilise now. A gap has opened up for a volunteer to take Tony Carter’s place behind the bar on the Monday afternoon shift. Tony remains part of the deep fabric of our Club in his role with the BMC but is making way for a safe pair of hands to serve our members. If you have one or will apply for a Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate – possibly to build new skills for a new career, this is your chance. Please contact Tracey Carbis if you can help out in this way. It’s also time for thanks to Jon Butler too, who is giving up his much loved beer cleaning volunteer services to spend more time doing other things and concentrating on bowls. A big thankyou to Tony and Jon for their contributions, and everybody who volunteers their time for our Club. Some of you will be aware that our Club is now collecting details of the hours our volunteers donate. Keeping records never gets the award for the most fun thing to do, but there is method in the madness. We’re doing this because the hours we commit to helping ourselves avoids the cost of employing people and helps us keep operating costs down. And as almost importantly, when we apply for grants we can provide authentic data on what has been really done. For instance, using figures from the BMC, over a month we can see that our bowling ladies and gents, on average, collectively provide the equivalent of about 26 days of effort (using an 8 hour day) of their time to keep bowls ticking over in the terrific way it does. When we have collected all the other monthly details, I’ll provide a more fulsome picture of what we are doing to help ourselves. Speaking of volunteers, we need some help with cleaning please. Our regular voluntary cleaners work Wednesday and Friday mornings from 7am to approx. 8am on a fortnight shift. In May, six of the regular cleaners are going on holidays and the club would like help on the following days: 1st and 3rd of May for a male to vacuum with the backpack. Club members willing to go on the reserve list to help cleaning the bathrooms when required. If you can help – please contact Pam Bishop via her contact details at the Club. And our Greens team has been looking down holes to find the source of some sinking ground. Well done. I’d like to thank those members who responded to my request for input to the Board’s deliberations on the short and longer term future of our Club. We are still working through this and will find a way to bring you all up to date when we have a story to tell. If you have ideas, please talk to any member of the Board, or send me an email. In the interim we have initiated work to keep the cool room and beer taps in good working order and are doing a ‘health’ check on our IT system to see how we can make better use of it for the administration and operation of our Club. You will have seen in the Bowls Newsletter that our bar will open at 1300 on Anzac Day. And for those who participated in the Gr8, the Board and BMC are hosting a small “thank you” to our players, managers, selectors and umpires on Sunday 28 April at 4PM at the Club. Attendees will receive two free drink vouchers and some nibbles. We look forward to seeing you all there. Check out the raffle – what a monster………. David Shackleton Board Chairperson |
