General Manager’s Comments for June 2016

Thank you to all the members who attended the Club’s Annual General Meeting. For those

who were unable to attend, I am pleased to advise that the Club has had another successful

year of trading as reported in the Annual Report. If you would like a copy please don’t

hesitate to pop by admin. Once again thank you to everyone who has attributed to this profit.

Special thanks to my staff for their commitment and exceptional work ethics that make my

job so much easier.

Also congratulations to Graeme Roberts on being awarded Club Person of the Year, always on

hand and a phone call away. Thanks also to the many other volunteers our Club has, in all

areas of the Club, we are very proud of you all.

Congratulations also on two returning Board Members, Ray Cooknell and Gerard Monro,

along with Ewan Rogers returning to our Board of Management. I look forward to the year

ahead.

New mobile staging has been purchased for the function room, due for delivery this week,

this will replace the staging which is becoming an OH&S issue for people having to move it

around the building. We have also purchased 200 chair covers, which can be hired out for

weddings or special occasions, along with skirting for our bridal and event tables. Early next

week we should also have delivered our new Photocopier. The current copier’s lease has

ceased and we have decided to purchase this copier outright.

To all of our members that are travelling to a warmer climate (must say I envy you), travel

safe, rest up, slip slop slap and we will see you back soon ready for the next bowls season.

Another few bowls Questions

1 In a singles match the jack is rolled and appeared likely to enter the front ditch had it not hit the

foot of the marker. The opponent claims the right to roll the jack.

Is the opponent correct????

2 The lead in team A delivers the jack which passes the 2 metre mark. Before it comes to rest Skip A

picks it up assuming that it will not reach the ditch and places it on the 2 metre mark. Skip B

objects.

What should happen now????

3 A player in team A is called on to put in a short blocker. Skip B believes that the bowl is too short

and calls for the umpire. On measuring the umpire finds that the bowl is 14.1metres away from

the mat line.

What is the position?

Cheers,

Sally Madden

FEEDBACK FROM OUR MEMBERS

A Suggestions Box is located at reception. The Board and

Management are open to any comments or suggestions

that members have. If any member has a suggestion,

comment, are disgruntled, or even a compliment, our

General Manager Julie Dosser is more than happy to hear

from you.

Chairman’s Report

The 2015/2016 City Memorial Bowls Club AGM held on the evening of Tuesday 31st May, was

well attended with 70 Members present to receive the Annual Report of the club’s operations for

the past financial year and to participate in the election of Directors for 3 of the vacant Board

positions.

It was good to see that 5 candidates were prepared to put themselves forward to take on a

responsible role of being involved in the future direction of our great club. The election result saw

Gerard Monro, Ray Cooknell and Ewan Rogers being elected for the ensuing 2 years. On behalf of

the members, I would like to commend both Heather Jensen and Barbara Bibby for their

willingness to be prepared to serve on the Board, albeit that they were unsuccessful on this

occasion.

The respective new Board Director roles were determined in a meeting immediately following on

from the AGM with myself as Chairman and Director of Bowls, immediate Past Chairman Alan

Marsh is Vice Chairman and Director for Business and Marketing, Michael McCluskey as Finance

Director, Ewan Rogers as Director of Corporate Governance, Ray Cooknell as Director for Gaming

and Gerard Monro Director for Grounds, Building and Property.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Alan Marsh’s leadership as Chairman for the

past year and I will no doubt value his support in the current year.

The newly constituted Board will have its’ first official monthly meeting on Friday 24th June at

11.30a.m.

Gerald Madden

CMBC Board Chairman

Men's President's Report

Not a lot to report this month, but, as President of the Men's section of CMBC, I would like to take

this opportunity to congratulate our General Manager Julie and the Board on the great financial

result the club has achieved over the last year.

As you are all aware Saturday Pennant is an open competition, as a result the selection committee

would appreciate if all members could indicate on the form on the notice board, their intention to

play as soon as possible, so that the selection committee can start discussing the make up of the

pennant sides.

John Emerson, our Regional Bowls Australia representative attended our bowls executive meeting

last week. John is willing to help us in any way he can.

The Open Winter Pairs Medley starts this weekend and I would like to thank and congratulate

Ted Butler on the great job he has done in achieving his goal of 64 teams. That is a mighty effort,

well done Ted. I hope the weather is kind over the next 2 weekends.

Ros and I will be away for the next 2 months, so good bowling to those members staying home

this winter and safe travelling to those members going on holiday.

Bruce Collie - Men's President

ANSWERS TO BOWLING QUESTIONS PREVIOUS PAGE

2. The jack has been displaced by a player of its own team therefore it shall be re-delivered by the

opposing lead.

3. The bowl is live as it is not less than 14m from the mat line.
