Green Island Bowling Club

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS – Lynne Flewitt, Lee Smith, Ross Gay, Ron McKay, Kimi Taylor, Jessica Dick and Taylor Reid.  It’s great to have you all join the GIBC family and we look forward to seeing you all both on and off the green.

HAVE A GO DAY – this was a huge success!!  The weather was perfect, BBQ lunch was yummy and was great to see so many people on the green.  Three people joined as full members, three as social and another three or four took membership forms home so hopefully we’ll hear from them again soon 😊

INTERCLUB – starts Tuesday 28 October.  Teams for each event will be emailed to you so you don’t have to go down to the club to see where you are playing and unavailability forms are up on each notice board if you are unavailable to play.

TIES – start thinking about your teams.  An email will go out over Labour Weekend advising the date for the triples and fours day and also when entries need to be in by.

SUNDAY TOURNAMENT – our first tournament of the season is on Sunday 26 October.  If you would like to enter in a mixed triples team, please contact Lynne Seddon or if you are available to take one or two of our new members under your wing, that would be much appreciated.

MONDAY NIGHT PRACTICE – These are held every fine Monday night from 5 – 5.30pm and goes for approx. one hour depending on the weather.  These practices/coaching sessions are open to everyone, so come on down for a roll up.

CLEANING ROSTER has been done.  A copy of the roster will be delivered to all participants and also displayed on the men’s and women’s noticeboards along with the cleaning checklist.

NEW SHIRTS – our new shirts have left the factory and should be available for pick up next week. I’ll let everyone know once they are at the club. 

BINGO BEATS – we will be holding another Bingo Beats on Saturday 6 December.  It’s Bingo but with songs instead of numbers.  Hear the song, mark your card, yell BINGO!!   This was so much fun last time, don’t miss out.

CHRISTMAS FUNCTION – this will be held on Saturday 13 December.  Save the date and full details will be in the November newsletter.
