A reminder that Port City is a non smoking venue. It is Illegal to smoke on the greens or on the surrounds to the greens.

We are all aware of the extremely hot conditions experienced over the last few weeks. The men’s club have purchased a hand held “heat stress monitor” which measures temperature, moisture, wind etc. This will assist in making an informed decision as to whether to call bowls off or not.

The new bowls kiosk ( adjacent to the bowlers entrance). We should see some movement in the next month or so, with the installation of screens (honour boards, information etc).
Hopefully also we will see a “mat box” installed adjacent to green 1.

The men’s club have ordered new bowls jackets which will compliment our representative, pennant strip.

Club Championships- The fours have been decided with Greg Brims team defeating Jack Lewis team. Currently underway are the club triples and the minor singles.

The third and final pennant trial will be held on Tuesday 21^st February starting at 2.30 pm.

This week end 18/19 February, Port City is hosting the NSW state zone 14 southern section fours.

The new season Jack Attack starts this Friday 24^th February and continues each Friday through to 24^th March.
