State carnival report

 Last week, a team from Breakers packed our bowls and travelled up to Forster to join another 900 or so Women for the State Carnival. Kim, Phyllis, Sue and I had a very successful carnival, winning 3 out of our 6 games and being the daily section winner for our last day at Taree.  We played games at Tuncurry, Buladelah and Taree.  Good games and good company .  Lots of compliments (  as usual) about our uniforms.  Thanks to Sue for organising lovely accomodation in Forster .  Not sure where next carnival will be - they are still in negotiations for this but we will certainly be going again and would love some more Breakers people to come with us so we can wander the town or restaurants in a pack of 8 ! Start saving your money now.

Booking seats for Elsie’s Project fundraiser on 19/6/21 at Wamberal Surf Club. Dinner, magic and music! $60 per ticket - sms me on 0439446150 this week .

See you all Tuesday for amalgamation vote and then best of luck to Pennant team in our washed out game against Bateau Bay on Tuesday as well.

Just a reminder

 During pennants, we have only been paying the green fees.  We hope you have enjoyed the free tea and coffee ☕️🫖 and the pennant teams really have appreciated your support as we have played our games .

Now our home pennant games are over , we will go back to $15 which will also means the lucky door prize will be up for grabs as well as the winning and losing rinks. 

Don’t forget the Lion’s Club fundraising dinner for Elsie’s retreat. It’s on 19th June at Wamberal Surf Club . SMS me if you would like to come along.

Our donated quilt, which we raffled during the pennant season was won by Narelle O’Dwyer and the cushions by Betty Troy. Thank you everyone for your support of the raffle - we raised $260.

Happy Mother’s Day

 Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.  Enjoy being looked after and a special thank you to those who are looking after their Mums at this stage of their journey.  To those of us who do not have a mum physically with us anymore, we enjoy the special memories we have and keep them close to us in our hearts. 

Club triples

 Next Tuesday, 11th May, Match will be posting the entry form for our Club Triples which will start on 8th June.  Time for you to get those diaries out , check your availability and get organised !  It will be great for the Match Committee to have lots of entries. You can always put out those feelers- don’t wait for someone to approach you if you want to play. The format is 3 bowl triples and 18 ends. 

See you all on Tuesday .  Our pennant team will be at home playing Avoca so we have our fingers crossed for good games and good weather .

Special General Meeting - Postal Vote

 Good morning everyone,

We have set a date for our Special General Meeting to vote on the unification of the 2 State bodies - Women’s Bowls NSW and Men’s Bowls NSW .  It will take place on Tuesday 25th May after our bowls.  If you know you will not be at bowls on that day, you can let me know and I can send you a postal vote which will need to get back to me ( or someone on the committee) by the 25th May. 

You may also have heard about a fun night that is being organised by Terrigal Lion’s Club on Saturday 19th June at Wamberal Surf Club.  It is raising funds for Elsie’s Retreat and Project and a children’s cancer charity.  The tickets cost $60 which includes dinner and entertainment.  I am interested in making up a table so you can message or ring me on 0439446150 or talk to me at bowls.

Our Grade 3 pennant team had another win yesterday which was very exciting.  

Enjoy the beautiful weather .

Green fees during pennants

 Good morning everyone,

Our Pennant Season starts on Tuesday 13th April .  All social players will still need to log in on our website as we have been doing but the good news is , you will only need to pay $11 each week for the 5 weeks that pennants is on. Tea and coffee will be complimentary , rink prizes will still be drawn and you can purchase tickets in a lovely quilt that has been donated to us.  The quilt raffle will be drawn at the end of pennants.

Thank you to everyone who has offered to step in and help while our pennant players are doing us proud out on the green. We know they will do a great job representing us all.
