Port City MBC Bulletin - February / March

Port City Men's Bowling Club Bulletin - February / March 2012

Welcome to 2012. I hope everyone had a great time over the Christmas holiday period, and is looking forward to having a fantastic bowling year. With the Pennant Season about to start, lets get behind the selectors and see if we can win a state flag this year. ( I know that the Pennant Season is called the “Silly Season”, so if you don’t get picked in the grade or team that you think you should have, SO WHAT, the sun will still rise tomorrow)!

The State Pairs at Port Panthers were called off today as advised earlier by Terry Merchant.

Apologies to Anthony & the Kew BC

Anthony Westman - Kew BC

My reports of the District President's Reserve Singles indicated that the winner, Anthony Westman, was representing Westport. After reading the bowls reports in today's Port News I realised I had listed. in error, Anthony as playing out of Westport rather than his nominated club Kew. My apologies to Anthony and all my good friends at Kew.
