News from Port City

The weekly news report for the Port City Men's Bowling Club is now available with thanks to Colin Halls.

The home of the Port City Koalas

Dress code for social bowls is club uniform/creams or clean smart casual, with collared shirt, neat shorts/slacks.

Pennants :- In grade 7/1 Lake Cathie defeated South West Rocks, which put Port City out of the running due to inferior margin.

Grade 1 will be playing Park Beach at Urunga on Saturday 30^th May. There will be a supporters bus leaving the club at 8am and arriving back around 6pm. The cost for supporters is $15 pp and I believe Leigh will be providing “live “ entertainment. You are still welcome anyway.

In the LNC men’s triples the team of Ian Binder-Ken Paulsen-Geoff Mitchell have reached the final.

Major Pairs results: M.Parry def R. Trow 26/11. G. Brims def P. Brady 20/14. P. Baker def P. Webster 18/16. R. Bradbury def J. Sallustio  26/11.

Entries are open for the major singles, closing June 7^th.

Trevor’s paddle pop 2 bowl triples is back! Saturday June 7^th, sausage sizzle at noon followed by 2 x 12 ends. There will be $250 in prize money and this event is a fund raiser on behalf of Gary Lawer, who as we know is doing it tough at the moment.

Forward event :- Friday 19^th June to Sunday 21^st June the Grade 6 & 7 2 bowl triples. Entries for this event close Sunday 8^th June.

Reminder:- Club and Bowls renewal are due 31^st May. Points accrued on your card will expire 31/5, so should be redeemed before that date.

Changes to smoking laws. As of early July there will be changes to smoking laws as it applies to smoking on and around the greens. Full details will be revealed closer to the actual date of the changes.

New stock of the new uniforms has been received. Check at the bowls office for prices etc.
