Welcome to the first monthly newsletter for 2017.

Some good news for intending pennant players this year, 2017.

Due to skilful financial management by the men’s committee, and to recognise the players willing to represent this great club, green fees for pennant trials and pennant games throughout 2017 will be paid for by the men’s club. That’s right, it will cost you nothing to play pennants this year!!!

The first pennant trials are set down for Saturday 28^th January. Check the board for full details.

The 2017 men’s bowls calendar is on the bowls website under “calendar 17”. A hard copy covering two months at a time will be placed on the notice board. This calendar is subject to change.

The draw for the 2017 championship fours is on the board. First round to be played on or before Thursday 19^th January.

A fund raiser Bowls for Balls ( to raise funds for men’s health) will run for 24 hours on January 25/26.  24 teams of 3 players are required to make this a success.  Full details are available at the club.

The annual Terry Kelly memorial day will be held on Sunday  22^nd January. This is always a popular and well supported day run by the travelling bowlers.

Important Notice- Port City is a non smoking venue. Smoking is not permitted on the greens or the surrounds to the greens. If you must smoke you need to go off the premises to do so.

As we are all aware the cost of meat is sky rocketing these days, and this is having an impact on the quality of our offering for the meat raffle on Fridays. Your committee is in discussion with Wiggly Tail to see what can be done to improve this situation.

Please take the time to visit our facebook page which is being regularly updated by Phil and others.

Healthy tip: Take your heart for a walk every day.
