Port City recently hosted (along with Westport) the Interzone Championships. In the final held at Port City Zone 12 defeated Zone 13. By any standard the carnival was a huge success.

The club also successfully hosted the CHS V NSW juniors. This has been held for some 15 years at Port City where the teams play for the Neville Schwartz shield. I understand from next year this tournament will move interstate to Victoria.

The minor pairs are well under way and the major/minor pairs will start shortly.

We will again be running Jack Attack in October. This will be run as a fund raiser as “Bowls for Boobs”, in a similar format to the “Bowls for Balls” we run last year.

The new jackets are in – see Phil to purchase one while they are on special.

Note for your diary – presentation day this year will held on Saturday 16th December. Your committee is looking at a slightly different format this year.

Also under review is the format of club championships for 2018, with a view to increase entry numbers, and maybe level the playing field for some championships.

Due to the commonwealth games next year, pennants will not start until late April next year. Your selectors do require some indication from members if you intend to play pennants next year, even if you cannot commit to the full season. This will allow all players to be registered for pennants with the Royal. See the notice on the board.

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

If any members would like to contribute to your monthly newsletter, you can email me at colh1941@gmail.com

Our thanks to our various sponsors this month- Miedecke Motors KIA, Steve Matheson Pest Control, Ditchfield Dental, Port City Realty.

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

Cheers, Colin Halls
