Welcome to our

Christmas Party Break Up Day!

A big thank you to all the ladies who made

donations for the hamper and gift baskets.

  Gala Day

Our Gala Day was held on 20th November and President Barbara welcomed District President Maureen Bradford and teams from North Haven, Kew, Comboyne, Wauchope, Lake Cathie, Westport, Port Panthers and of course Port City, a total of 100 bowlers.

 The day was a great success, which enabled us to present a cheque for $1,175 to the District President for the Women’s Bowling Association. This money is used to cover the expense of accommodation and petrol for our travelling representatives. Twelve lucky players also received lovely Fruit & Vegetable trays.

EVENTS

Adriana Cutler and Karen McFarlane were chosen to play in the Regional 2 Team in the Playoffs at Coffs Harbour on 21^st & 22nd November. Although the winners o the day were Region 1, the girls were pleased to meet many players from different clubs.

 Encouragement Day for 2012 was held on Monday 26^th November and the Club hosted twenty four teams from Forster/Tuncurry, North Haven, Blackhead, Harrington, Forster, Kempsey Heights, Wingham, Scotts Head, Kempsey RSL, Manning Point, Kew, Westport and, of course, Port City. The weather was very kind and the ladies certainly enjoyed the day.

 The overall winners on the day were a composite team from Wingham/Blackhead and Congratulations to Denise Matheson, Claudia O ‘Donnell, Narelle Boyd and Denise Polley.

 Runners-up were a team from North Haven – D Lynch, S Simpson, J O’Neill and W Vanderent.

All our Club Champions for 2012 were presented with their trophies at Presentation day on December 4 and each had their photos taken as a momento of the day.

 Congratulations to all.

 Joke

 There once was a Tsar in Russia whose name was Rudolph the Great. He was standing in his house one day with his wife. He looked out the window and saw something happening. He says to his wife, "Look honey. It's raining."

She, being the obstinate type, responded," I don't think so, dear. I think it's snowing."
But Rudolph knew better. So he says to his wife," Let's step outside and we'll find out."
Lo and behold, they step outside and discover it was in fact rain. And Rudolph turns to his wife and replies," I knew it was raining. Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

It’s a Fact

Position on the mat (Law 20)

 Before delivery a player should be standing on the mat with one foot fully on the mat.  At the moment they deliver the jack or a bowl, the player should have all or part of one foot on or above the mat.  Any player not meeting the terms of this law is committing a foot-fault, and law 21 will apply. (Covered by 21.1 to 21.4 on pages 47 & 48)
