Game Changer

It was great to see that the West Dubbo Bowling Club has taken a proactive approach to bowls membership with a major reduction in fees as follows. Association fees are a major issue with many members and this should help with the retention of existing bowlers as well as attract new members. 

"GAME CHANGER - Club Dubbo will be introducing significantly lowered full bowling membership fees for 2016 / 17 (Starting 1st January 2016)

 

The fees will be reduced by up to $50 for the 2016/17 season with the club paying all Bowls NSW, WBA and District and Zone fees."

Zone 14 Membership by Club

The men's Zone 14 registered membership by club has now been updated to include data for October 2015. With thanks to Paul Russell, Zone 14, figures now show Oct 2014 and Oct 2015 to provide a direct comparison at the same time of the year.

The MNC shows a decline of 10% and is strongly influenced by the closure of West Coffs and Bellingen.

In the LNC the decline is minimal with many clubs increasing or maintaining their level of registered male bowlers.
