Round 18 of Metropolitan Pennant

Peter Russell, Friday, 11 July 2008

This round was to be played on Sunday 22/2/2009 - so it would not clash with the final of the Australian Open 2009, which will be held in Shepparton. 

Advice has been received that Round 18 of Metropolitan Pennant will now be played on Saturday 21 February 2009.  This is to avoid clashing with the opening round of the Australian Masters Games.

Junior Bowls Squad

Creighton Parker, Wednesday, 30 April 2008

At a meeting last Wednesday 23rd April interested parties from Bundoora and Montmorency Bowling Clubs have decided to put their resources together and create a district junior bowls group as has been done in many other parts of the state and under the guidance of Geoff Burt and the State Junior Bowls Committee.

 

That State Junior body has asked us to advise you of this direction so that the formation of the group (I will let you know the name when it has been decided) can be recorded in your minutes and in so doing affords the group some status which allows for insurance cover issues at various levels to flow through into our structure

 

I hope that you can act upon this email advice at this stage. Once the group has fully formed and has chosen a name we will be more formal in our advice to you. Of course any assistance you can provide in "spreading the word" would be appreciated

 

Our first get together is scheduled for Sunday 25th May at 10.00 am at Montmorency Bowling Club followed by a sausage sizzle

Report on Coaching Seminar / Refresher Course.

Ron Weir, Wednesday, 21 November 2007

Twenty eight RVBA coaches attended the Workshop conducted by the RVBA Coaching Committee at Bundoora on 19/11/07.  Due to the hot weather the 2hr on the green session was held before lunch. This session provided some ideas on setting up greens for practice and skills development activities.

 

After lunch, those present, were challenged and informed by, lectures (including Power Point presentations), on various topics relating to lawn bowls.

 

Those present agreed the day had been worthwhile and there was a request that the activity should be repeated on an evening to allow coaches who are in the workforce to be similarly informed.
