Editor's Note:

Many thanks to Colin for his interesting and informative reporting to "Latest Bowls News" during the past 5 years. I know bowlers from Port City and other local clubs appreciate the time and effort Colin has put into the publicity role. Thanks again Col. and enjoy your "retirement" from these duties.
