The Biggest Morning Tea combined with Daffodil Day was a
huge success, due in no part to the wonderful band of helpers on the day. We raised $1150 for the Cancer Council and
Robyn Biddle received the cheque on behalf of them.

IT’S A FACT - A new addition from Vice President
Carol Bowman
Possession of the rink WILL belong to the player or team
whose bowl is being played. As soon as
each bowl comes to rest, possession of the rink will transfer to the opposing
player or team after allowing time for the marking of a toucher as soon as it
comes to rest.
When changing from the mat to the head (eg before the skip’s
turn to bowl) it is polite to remain behind the last player to bowl until her
bowl comes to rest, walking in front of the last to play can be a breach of
Laws and Conditions of Play..
Also, as a courtesy to those on the next rink, try to walk
up and down the centre of your rink.
Walking near the boundary pegs can disturb the player on the next rink
trying to play her bowl.
It is also a
requirement of the Laws that you stay on your own rink, even if the
neighbouring rink is not being used.
You
can be penalised for walking down a rink other than your own.
Remember when changing from end to end if you are not in
possession of the rink please do so WITHOUT DELAY, penalties apply.
The above is covered by Laws 35 & 36 ie Possession of
the rink & Position of players.
Thanks to Ann Kirk, Acting Publicity Officer
