Proudly serving South Australians for over 100 years.
Welcome
W
elcome to the New Year, 2014 and I entrust the festive Season treated you all kindly. With the upcoming State election drawing near, Bowls SA has taken the opportunity to lobby the leaders of both parties to highlight the importance of Bowls in the Community. Rising utility costs and funding restrictions are clear agenda items for the sport and it is important to emphasise to both parties that Bowling Clubs offer more than just Bowls; many being the hub of the community at large. I encourage all Boards and Associations to lobby your local Members for support for Bowls and the ongoing service they provide for the health and general well-being of the community. The administration of Bowls is ever changing and the function of the Bowls SA office is to provide a support mechanism to the decision making from the Membership base. One person who has seen many changes, to not only the way Bowls is played but the way it is administered, is Nola Byass. On January 8th, Nola had served the Bowling Community in administration of the State office for 25 years. Nola has and is a great friend to Bowls and a highly respected member of the Bowls SA team and, for and on behalf of the Bowling Community, I say thank you on a job well done. Thank you for all your hard work, diligence, care and friendship from all of us here at Bowls SA. The Governance of all levels within our Sport is vital. I recently had pleasure in accepting an invitation to attend a Lower South-East Bowling Association Board meeting and under the leadership of Max Blacketer, the game is in good hands.
Bowls SA looks forward to the two day Senior’s ‘South Eastern Classic’ tournament to be held on February 24 and 25 at the Mount Gambier and Mount Gambier RSL Bowling Clubs which will be followed by a Movie morning on February 26 to acknowledge the huge contribution of the South-East volunteers. A clear understanding of Open Gender and what it means for all members is now crucial and Bowls SA will be providing further education through forums and information sessions as the year progresses. I would like to acknowledge Brad Jonnek, our Sports Administration Trainee, as he departs after completing his one year traineeship with Bowls SA. I am sure the qualifications he has achieved and his overall good nature will provide a base for him to enter a prosperous new chapter of his life. Thank you Brad for all your efforts and good luck!

President's Message
A
nother pennant season is almost behind us and I trust you have been able to enjoy the competition but as I write this we still have some great competitions ahead of us including the MGA Country Carnivals, Country Round Robin, Prestige Medley and the Champions Week to look forward to. Back in January the Grange Bowling Club hosted the annual SA v Vic Test Series and what a great competition it turned out to be. Whilst the Under 25’s and the ladies went down fighting the Under 18’s and the men had great victories and the celebrations, especially for the Under 18’s, commenced almost before the result was known. It was a privilege to watch all games and to witness some terrific bowling from all players together with a great spirit of camaraderie. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to those not so fortunate but your achievement, at least, was to represent your State. Either way you did the State of Bowls South Australia proud in not only participating on the green but the way you also conducted yourselves off the green. Change! We are very much creatures of habit and the majority of us detest change. However, when the powers that be change the speed limit down we have either to accept it and do as directed or face the consequences. So it is with our Open Gender ruling. Some seven years ago when Bowls SA was in receipt of the original challenge, the Board accepted that to enable Bowls SA to achieve an exemption to the Act from the Equal Opportunity Tribunal and to minimise a further challenge, Bowls SA would continue to offer single gender competitions providing open gender pennants were promoted as the primary product in all Associations. Following two successful exemption applications the Equal Opportunity Tribunal advised that no more exemptions would be granted and that Bowls SA should seek a change to the Equal Opportunity Act. Once again the advice was heeded and we were successful in gaining the support of our Parliamentarians in achieving the change. This was done with the knowledge that Bowls SA would continue with the Open Gender policy that had been introduced seven years ago. Success! Yes, but at considerable cost both financially and in time and so it is now imperative that ALL Associations comply with the policy direction.

Prescott Securities Ltd I ABN 12 096 919 603 I Australian Financial Services Licence No. 228894
President Don Crosby with Leesa Vlahos MP Bowls SA cannot afford to expend more funds defending any further challenges and so it comes down to what I mentioned earlier. If any Association ignores the Open Gender Policy, that Association and their Member Clubs will have to face the consequences; whatever they may be. My plea therefore is to all members to accept the change and do whatever you can to ensure, with my help if necessary, that we are seen as forward thinking and prepared to get on with our great sport. Our aim is to educate all Clubs, Associations and Regions of the State, albeit with the assistance of our Staff and governance structures of the Board and Councillors, that this must be taken seriously. I acknowledge that some members may not agree with the change. We must however, remain united to ensure that provision of Open Gender pennants is not only promoted as the primary competition for our sport but is scheduled at a time that is suitable to the majority. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible whether on the green or at your Club. Cheers, Don

DOROTHY VAUGHAN Dorothy’s involvement with the governance of Bowls started in the metropolitan area as a Councillor for Region 10 and member of the Match and Program Committee. From there, following her move to Loxton, she has continued to be a dynamic contributor to the sport and her Club. Accredited as an Umpire in 2005 and appointed as a Bowls SA Umpire Tutor in 2007 she has qualified 66 Umpires and 60 Measurers. The Riverland is a large Region and Dorothy travels from town to town tutoring Umpires at her own expense. She is also an Accredited Level 1 Coach. A member of the Loxton Bowling Club’s Administration Board for the last three years, Dorothy is valued for her attention to detail and easy going nature. As Kitchen/Catering Manager since 2007, she gives her time willingly; nothing is too much trouble, even providing snacks and nibbles for students at her own expense.
BRIAN GUM Brian also commenced volunteering in the metropolitan area as a member of the Adelaide Bowling Club. As President of the Club 1995-2000 he was responsible for the introduction of women members, the first since the Club’s inception in 1897. In 1995-96 he presided over hosting a World Bowls Tournament between Israel and Brazil and in 1997 oversaw the final production and printing of the Adelaide Bowling Club Centenary publication. In 2000 after a sea change to Port Hughes, Brian was appointed as a Board Member and Public Relations Manager for the Moonta Bowling Club and is now in his 13th year in this role. Brian is responsible for all aspects of sponsorship and principle liaison for student bowls with the Moonta Area School and through his dedication to these roles has enabled International, State, Regional and Association bowls to be hosted at Moonta. A tireless quiet achiever, Brian has a genuine passion to see the Club succeed on and off the green. He is fastidious in the preparation and presentation of his work and his contribution is reflected in the notable progress the Club has made over recent years.
MARGARET MORDEN Margaret has been with the Hope Valley Bowling Club for close to 23 years and in that time has held positions including Board of Management Secretary for 7 years and currently, Women’s Secretary 9 years and President 4 years and Social Club Secretary and she has remained heavily involved in Indoor Bowls. Margaret is meticulous in all aspects of her duties as Secretary and is to be commended for mastering computer skills at 70 years of age, and now at the age of 82, she is still competent and confident in all that she does. Despite two hip replacements she has still managed to carry on volunteering, ensuring welcome letters are sent to all new members, members are encouraged to enter championships and State Events, much needed funds are raised through raffles which she has organised for the last 15 years and the Club’s Opening Days for the last 10 years have proceeded without a hitch.

An Open Letter to all Members In October 2013 Bowls SA advised that the House of Assembly, Parliament of South Australia had passed the Equal Opportunity (Sporting Competitions) Amendment Bill 2013. The Amendment updated the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA) to address a concern with the provisions that prohibit discrimination on the grounds of sex, chosen gender or sexuality by Associations, or in the provision of certain services, in Part 3 of the Act, as the relevant provisions relate to competitive sporting competitions. To adhere and comply with the amended South Australian Parliamentary Act By-Law and Bowls SA Policy: § Associations must provide an open gender pennant competition in all seasons as their primary competition, and if only one pennant competition is conducted by an Association it must be an open gender competition. § An Association can only offer a single gender pennant competition, as a secondary competition, if an open gender competition is provided which meets the following criteria: o The open gender competition is the primary pennant competition for the sport across all Associations, and while there is no stipulation on what day the open gender competition is to be offered it must be on a day and time that is suitable to the majority of the male and female membership and the best bowlers. Bowls SA appreciates that not all members will agree with this directive, but believes that it is in the best interests of the sport and looks forward to the support and compliance of all Associations to this now State law. All Members need to be aware that non-compliant Associations, which are comprised of a group of Member Clubs, could ultimately be liable, without the support of Bowls SA, to resolve, in time and financially, any claim lodged with the Equal Opportunity Commission by a disgruntled member who believes they have been disadvantaged by non-compliance of the Association. Associations and Member Clubs that are not prepared to abide by the Policies of Bowls SA may threaten their future affiliation. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that Bowls remains a sport for all into the future. Single gender championship competitions such as Club, Association and Region Championships remain single gender as they lead to State and National Events. A series of information sessions are being held around the State to ensure all members are familiar with the requirements and Associations facilitate compliance as they begin planning for next season. As President, I will also make myself available to Associations for any further education that may be necessary.

ON AND OFF THE GREEN
BY JOHN BEVIN

cLaren Vale sits 43 kilometres from Adelaide and as a part of the Southern Vales wine growing region is a vibrant township world renowned for the production of high quality wines. Often referred to as the “Gateway to the Fleurieu Peninsula” the Vale is a tourist Mecca which attracts visitors from around the world. Over the last 20 years in particular small tracts of land have been opened up for housing and the face of the town has changed dramatically. The McLaren Vale Bowling Club which has been in existence since 1938 is prominently positioned on Main Road with a second back entrance off Tatachilla Road. On November 18, 2013 the Club celebrated its 75th Anniversary and it is worthwhile looking back in time at the establishment and growth of one of the State’s most affluent bowling clubs. From humble beginnings pre-war committees have invariably made correct decisions at the right time and both on and off the green the organisation has been a success story. After a meeting held at the McLaren Vale Institute, attended by 24 interested men, the McLaren Vale Districts Bowling Club was established on November 18, 1938. The site for the new club would be on the main road of the township and on a Lucerne patch made available by Mr H B Pridmore for the princely sum of £100. At the meeting all present became members and Hugh Pridmore was voted in as the inaugural President with Mr G Crocker and Mr F Osborn as his Vice 10 | SA BOWLER | February 2014
Presidents. Mr C Pool would take up the reins as Honorary Secretary/Treasurer. The original clubhouse was built with Pine off-cuts and water was obtained from a bore on the neighbouring Ellis property. A single green was put down and it was the days when members brought their own afternoon tea and a long neck bottle of beer to share with their opponents. In the mid 1950’s a second green was established and a large squatter’s tank and mower shed stood between the clubhouse and the Ellis property. By the late 1960’s the first clubrooms had been replaced with a Besser block building and at that time it became apparent that the toilet facilities were inadequate. A quote for $1,800 was obtained and rejected as too expensive by the incumbent committee. However two years later the matter resurfaced and after much discussion it was decided that the club take out a loan of $40,000. With the assistance of debentures from members the old clubrooms would be demolished and a new facility built. The loan was obtained and member’s debentures raised another $10,000. The centre part of the building went up during the off-season and this was followed by a large kitchen area on the Ellis boundary and finally an extensive lounge area on the western end of the property. Additional land was purchased for $10,000 from Lloyd Ellis the Butcher for the purpose of creating a third green. These are the clubrooms and complex that we see today.
Three high quality Santa-Anna greens, all with lights and beautiful gardens are highlights of a club which is moving with the times. In bygone days members paid their annual subs and that income along with tournament earnings and some functions kept the club afloat. In this day and age as bowling clubs look to grab a bigger slice of the leisure industry pie the necessity to run the club as a business has become a priority. While many clubs now see the value of Friday night dinners designed to attract not only bowling club members but also the community the McLaren Vale members have gathered at the end of the week for decades. The Women’s side of the club was established on September 9, 1955 and the impact of the volunteer ladies on these Friday nights and a host of successful functions can’t be overestimated. From the mid 1980’s it was common to see 140 meals served out of the restaurant quality kitchen on Friday nights and members continue to run the show to this day. As members of the McLaren Vale Business Association the club maintains close contact with the local community. A raft of sponsors continue to support the operation and a new website and updated signage both inside and outside has given the club the vibrant look that its high profile geographical position demands. Hard work at Board level has seen the club secure grants in many different areas and over a long period of time. A Night Owl competition with well over 100 competitors is run on Thursday evenings
over a 13 week season with social bowls also held on a Wednesday night. Like so many clubs McLaren Vale has looked at the “Night Owlers” as a source of increasing club membership and an attractive social member package has seen 30 players take up the offer over the last 18 months. Many of the night brigade have joined the Pennant competitions and the Vale now fields five Saturday and three Thursday teams in the Great Southern competition. It looks likely that a sixth Saturday team will be entered for season 2014/15. Over the last two years members have refurbished the clubrooms and visitors are treated to beautiful surrounds, a wide screen television and the well supported “Crushers” bar. As the club looks to the future a business plan is being put in place and financial control and the ability to attract those from the community are high on the priority list. With minimal council involvement it is incumbent on the Board and members as custodians to remain profitable and there is a positive and exciting feeling around a club which is ready for whatever the future may bring. Despite its proximity to the city McLaren Vale has maintained its country feel and has always been a family friendly club. It is no accident that grandfathers, grandmothers, sons, daughters and grandchildren have formed the basis of Pennant teams over a long period
of time. A strong Junior Development program with free coaching has ensured that there is always a continued attraction for young bowlers and over the last four years McLaren Vale has fielded the youngest 1st Division side in the Great Southern Saturday competition. It has included members of the Broadwood, Whiley, Binns and Raymond families as the family tradition continues. The playing group has picked up three consecutive flags and the three rink team is looking for a fourth title in 2013/14. They will have plenty to play for as during the 1970’s and 1980’s the men’s One Red side won 16 consecutive Pennants in what I am certain is a State record. The introduction of a sponsored ‘Old Bowls Day’ three years ago introduced a one day post season
tournament which was quirky enough to hit the spot. Playing with bowls badged pre 1984 is a challenge but 38 rinks of men battling a 16 second green can’t be wrong. Support from the Bowls Australia Community Development Officers in recent times has assisted the members who have worked together over many years, at Board and committee level, to ensure that the club is available and in good shape for the next generation. We will leave you with some comments from Club President John Talbot. “The club is progressing well at the moment and we have an active Board which has a strategic plan in place. With anticipated further improvements being looked at all goes well for the future."

he highly anticipated SA v VIC Test series began in earnest on Tuesday January 7 at Grange Bowling Club. Having drawn the 2013 series at Wallaroo the men were looking to go one better and pick up the Loy Carroll trophy for the first time since 2009. The selected side included Wayne Ruediger, Simon Dorr, Carl Schapel and Adam Forbes; Max Kleinig, Ashley Klose, Marc Evans and Duane Edwards along with Scott Thulborn, Mark Haines, Adrian Green and Matthew Northcott. After Day 1 the sides were locked at a win apiece. In the first game the Reds picked up a quality 56-51 two rink win. The Ruediger four played well with all contributing in a 21-17 defeat of Matthew Flapper and Kleinig’s four produced a 20-16 win against Dylan Fisher. Thulborn and his side were competitive but went down 18-15 to Nick McIntyre. In the afternoon the Victorians reversed the result taking a rink and a half in a 65-57 win. Ruediger chalked up his second positive result with a 29-24 score-line against McIntyre, and Thulborn recorded an 18-18 draw with Fisher. The series was set up for a grandstand second day and the Reds achieved a good win courtesy of the brilliance of Thulborn and Mark Haines. A 24-9 defeat of Flapper was enough to carry SA across the line with both Kleinig and Ruediger suffering narrow losses. In the afternoon in gusty winds the critical fourth Test became a war of attrition. What eventuated was a sensational 55-47 overall win that secured the series win for the Reds with one game remaining. The front end of the Reds’ rinks played a major role to beat their illustrious opponent. All six played well but the performance of Thulborn’s lead Matty Northcott was sensational. On an end rink with wind whistling the 20 year old peppered the kitty for the entire 21 ends. After the event he was named South Australian player of the series and this game would have played a major part in that selection. The players, secure in the knowledge that they had their hands on the Loy Carroll trophy for the first time in five years, were determined to finish on a high note which they achieved with Thulborn and Kleinig picking up wins and Ruediger going down by a shot. At lead for Ruediger, Adam Forbes turned in a game of rare quality. Individual performances aside the
4-1 series win came from 12 players working as a team all week. Salisbury’s 18 year old Breeanna Dickson was chosen to skip for the first time in senior State ranks and along with her rink of Laini Murray, Kate Smith and Jackie Gardiner she played alongside fellow skips Balaklava’s Renee McPharlin with Liz Gooda, Helen Minhard and Erin Haines and Modbury’s Cherie Morgan, Carol Prior, debutante Vicki Lehmann and Renata Callisto. With many of the State’s experienced bowlers having retired over the last 18 months Coach Lynton Modra went into the series looking to rebuild. The Victorians team included Lisa Phillips, Sam Shannahan, Chloe Stewart and Carla Odgers and the South Australians looked likely to be outgunned. The Reds came out for game one of the five Test series ready for the fight and walked off the green with a 74-45 all rinks win. Morgan produced a run away 30-16 win against Shannahan and McPharlin was equally impressive as her four recorded a 20-13 defeat of Phillips. For Dickson it was a dream start when her rink grabbed an impressive 24-16 win against Odgers. It proved to be the only win for SA as the powerful VIC combination took control; the Reds simply outclassed by the visitors who packed the heads and converted well. Morgan and her rink came away with three wins from five games and went down by three shots and two shots in Tests three and four. Modra and his selectors will need to react quickly as his team prepares for March’s National Sides Championships in Tasmania. Under Managers, George Fyfe and Carol Boyle, the five strong Under 18 Boys and Girls teams of young guns put on a great display. Played under a Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours format there was not much between the States. The girl’s went into the event with Lynsey Trenorden playing Singles, debutante Stephanie Clarke and Carly Otterspoor in Pairs, Bailey Rafferty, Bowman and Trenorden in the Triples and Rafferty, Clarke, Bowman and Otterspoor in the Fours. Despite a 2-1 loss for the series along the way there were some excellent performances. In the Singles Trenorden picked up two wins in the first two Tests and went on to finish
with a 2-1 record. In the second game the Reds grabbed excellent wins in the Singles, Pairs and Triples and the girls walked off the green with an 85-61 win. On the final day of the event the Under 18 Boys side of James Bodnar, Tyson Wilson, Jack Hateley, Isaac Trenorden and Josh Studham were in with a chance of securing a series win. They began well with a 80-56 win with the Singles (Studham), Pairs (Studham, Trenorden) and Fours (Wilson, Hateley, Bodnar and Trenorden) all picking up convincing wins. In the afternoon Studham produced a game out of the bag as he ran away to a 25-7 win. After an even contest the series came down to the final Test. The SA boys needed a win or a draw in either the Pairs or Triples to take out the event but after a tight game went down in the Pairs. The Triples combination went into the penultimate end of their match with a two shot lead. Being three shots down on the head with one bowl to be played Bodnar drove the kitty into the ditch for a count of three. The trio went into the final end defending a five shot lead and played a perfect defensive head to come away with the trophy. The Under 25 series showcased a raft of talented bowlers. Former Under 18 State representatives Hayley Woolfitt (Milang) and Tamzin Jenke (Loxton) both played in Sorrento WA for the juniors in 2013 and were in their first Under 25 series while Paige Mawar (Somerton) was debuting at State level. Joining them was the experienced trio of Cassandra Harvey (Somerton), Prue Goonan (West Lakes) and Danielle Fuss (Rosewater). Going into the final game trailing seven games to five, Victoria proved too strong taking two of three disciplines and halving the third for an overall 9½ games to 5½ winning margin. The talented SA men’s side included Jimmy Gregory (West Lakes), Michael Lodge (Hawthorn), Ashley Whiley (Marion), Stuart Forbes (Marion) Austin Cunningham (Salisbury) and Nathan Pedersen (Ascot Park). After an even contest over the first two days the Reds went into the final Test needing to win all three disciplines to take out the series. Unable to pick up a game the playing group finally went down nine games to six

n fantastic conditions the 2014 Under 18 State Championships were held between January 20 and 24.
Thank you to the Ascot Park Bowling Club for hosting the event, the Umpires and Markers who gave up their time to volunteer, and all the family and friends who came out to support the players and make the event such a success.
GIRLS PAIRS This year the girls Pairs played as a round robin with five teams. The competition had some extremely close games, but Alyssia Brown and Stephanie Clarke came through to take the Gold with three wins and a draw after the conclusion of sectional play, ahead of Jessica Ransom and Bailey Raffert (Silver), and Carly Otterspoor and Tazmin Jenke (Bronze).
BOYS TRIPLES After sectional play was completed on the Wednesday, the top two teams played off for Gold and Silver on Thursday afternoon. The team of Jack Watson, Casey Brind and Isaac Trenorden picked up two on the last end after some fantastic bowling by both teams to win by one in an extremely tight game over the team of Tristan Griffith, Jack Ryan and Sam Denton, 13-12.
BOYS PAIRS The boys Pairs saw Josh Studham and Charlie Birnie advance from the Semifinals to play fellow Semi-final winners Jacob Taylor and Gerrin Jenke for the Gold medal. In yet another tight match, Josh and Charlie claimed the Gold picking up a three on the last end to win 13-12. Jack Watson and Sam Denton teamed up to take out the Bronze medal.
Bronze Medallists were Charlie Martin, Jack Hateley and Tyson Wilson.
GIRLS SINGLES The girl’s Singles saw sectional play on the Tuesday, with finals held on the Friday
of the Championships for the Shirley Blackwell Shield. Advancing from sectional play and Semifinals Stephanie Clarke took on Jacqui Bowman in the play off for Gold. Stephanie started strongly and Jacqui was unable to make up the deficit in time, with Stephanie claiming the Gold 25-9. Tamzin Jenke secured the Bronze medal over up-and-coming 12 year old Haylee Studham. BOYS SINGLES The competition for the Peter Gageler Shield commenced on the Monday with sectional play followed by knockouts and Semi-finals and Finals on the Thursday. The Gold medal match saw Jack Watson take on Charlie Birnie with Jack prevailing with some brilliant draw bowling to claim the Gold 25-12. Isaac Trenorden stormed back from his Semi-final loss to claim the Bronze over Sam Denton 25-6.

uring the lunch break on the Wednesday of the recently completed Test series between South Australia and Victoria, Grange Bowling Club was packed with competitors, coaches, managers, spectators and members looking after the inner man. It was a colourful group and also present were Bowls SA Board members and staff including General Manager Mark Easton and Administration Manager Nola Byass and her family. It is not typical to see the entire staff of Bowls SA outside of the office at one time but this was a very special occasion. The group was on the premises to celebrate Nola’s 25th year as an employee of firstly SAWBA and then, since 2003, Bowls SA and it was also her birthday. When I was initially advised of the honour I was taken aback. The thought of an employee chalking up a quarter of a century serving a sporting body seemed incredible. However when I thought about it over my entire bowling career Nola had been around in some capacity. I have been involved with Bowls SA and Bowls Australia for many years in a writing capacity and over the entire time Nola has been my “Go To” person. Her knowledge of the internal workings of the operations is consummate. There must have been many occasions when I was searching for important information that I would have driven her to distraction looking for facts, figures or more. She has never failed to answer my queries or to steer me towards someone who could and over the journey we have become close friends and I am the better for that. Nola Byass joined SAWBA in 1989 as the sole paid employee after answering an advertisement in the Advertiser and it seems she was destined to join us. The telephone number supplied in the advertisement suggested that the position was around Glenelg which would have suited her down to the ground. It turned out that SAWBA was based in the southern end of the city but she accepted the position anyway. At that point SAWBA was run by volunteers assisting President Melba Jenkins and Honorable State Secretary Lois Kruger. The new employee was supplied win a phone, an electric typewriter and a small black and white photocopier. SAWBA had also won a small Mac computer which nobody knew how to use and so Nola was employed as a ‘computer literate’ person. Oh how times have changed! Over her time she worked for nine SAWBA Presidents. She became Executive Officer of SAWBA in 1997 and at the time of the merger on September 1, 2003 took up the position of Administration Manager of Bowls SA. It is the position that she holds to this day. “The Bowls SA umbrella body had met regularly over a number of years” Nola commented during a recent interview. “In the early days of the merger talks it was evident that SAWBA and the RSABA did most things differently. The process of merging the two entities was a series of working out compromises and new ways of approaching issues. It was an interesting time and while the national bodies had recently merged the other States hadn’t attempted it. It was new ground that presented lots of challenges.”
Seeing the sport evolve from its traditional image with strict dress code of long white dresses and petticoats, stockings and broad brimmed hats, to where it is today has been great to watch. Things have changed so much over 25 years After some modifications to the building Nola and the Bowls SA staff moved into new premises at Lockleys on September 2, 2003. To this point she has worked with four Bowls SA General Managers, Chris LuzRaymond, Graham Sampson, Ben Scales and Mark Easton and over the journey she has seen changes aplenty in all areas. From SAWBA financial records kept by the Treasurer in large ledgers and letters written on electric typewriters with carbon copies through to today’s fully computerized systems Nola has been involved. When asked if she continued to enjoy her position and her association with the bowling community she replied in part; “The administration is a 12 monthly cycle which means that there is always something happening, but also as things have changed in the governance of the sport no two years have been the same either. The variety and the ongoing changes have been a major part of the appeal of the position. Seeing the sport evolve from its traditional image with strict dress code of long white dresses and petticoats, stockings and broad brimmed hats, but definitely no jewellery to where it is today has been great to watch. Things have changed so much over 25 years. There have been big changes in the way that the sport needs to be governed with strong emphasis on strategic plans, constitutions, financial management, grant funding etc. The Bowls SA people are great to work with and while it is evident that we don’t always please everyone I think that generally the membership appreciates what we do.” 14 | SA BOWLER | February 2014

MGA WOMEN’S COUNTRY CARNIVAL March 24 to March 30 2014 By John Bevin S ince the 1949/50 season women Pennant bowlers from around country South Australia have been travelling to Adelaide annually for the Women’s Country Carnival. It is an enjoyable event that is high on the list of “must dos” for many of our country ladies and there is little doubt that this year will be no different. Over the last two years the number of entries has increased as bowlers leave properties, businesses and homes in the care of their families for a week of fun and bowling in the capital. For many it is a chance to renew friendships or to catch up with relatives who live in the metropolis. For others the carnival presents an opportunity to pit their wits and skills against the best that country women’s bowls has to offer. Country Carnival titles are among the most sought after on the bowls calendar. The draw and result for each discipline has appeared in SA Bowler magazine since 2009 but up until 2008 a booklet was produced highlighting previous winners and the current champion in Singles, Pairs and Fours. It also included the draw for the current year. When the results since 1950 are studied, the names of some of South Australia’s greatest women bowlers leap off the page.
Between seasons 1961/62 and 1968/69 Australian representative and South Australian Hall of Fame inductee Audrey Hefford won four Singles titles. It is a record amount of wins which has stood the test of time. However this year there are two women who are looking to equal that long standing record and it would be some occasion if the two met in the final. Port McDonnell’s Heather Richards first won the event in season 2003/04 and repeated that success in seasons 2011/12 and 2012/13. This year she will be looking for three in a row and a count of four. Di Milner from Wallaroo Mines will also go into the 2013/14 competition with three wins under her belt. She first won the Country Carnival Singles in 2005/06 and followed up with wins in 2007/08 and 2010/11. There is one thing I can say with certainty. If you are looking to equal a record held by the lady from Cobdogla you have had a stellar career and both these women have. While Richards looks to defend her Singles title Helen Lindner, and Myrna Gerlach from Murray Bridge, as current Pairs champions, will also be looking for a repeat performance. Over the years clubs in the rural city of Murray Bridge have figured prominently in country events and from the late 1960’s members names began to appear on the list
of champions. From a rural city with a population of just under 17,000 we need to move 267 kilometres north east of Adelaide to find our reigning Fours champions. They come from the small Riverland township of Lyrup which has a population of just over 500. Lyrup Bowling Club has only 15 women members and the team of Sue Lloyd, Barbel Howe, Ros Smith and Joy Brown hold the title for the Women’s Country Fours. It is a great story and hard to believe that it only took 26.7 percent of the club’s membership to take out one Fours competition. There is no doubt that there will be more great stories coming out of this year’s event as the women from the country flood the city.

MGA Women's Country SA BOWLER Carnival| September Program 2014 2012 | 21
BY JOHN BEVIN
I
f you take the time to look at the Payneham Bowling Club website you will see the words “We are the Premier Club in the East.” The club has been in existence since 1920 and over the last two years in particular it has become one of the more successful operations within the bowling community. That eight word statement rather than being an idle boast has become a statement of pride. Not so many years ago the home of the Panthers was overdue for a revamp and like so many other clubs the Board and committees were looking to the future and ways and means to offer members and the community a unique venue with year round facilities the equal of any in the State. I had played at Payneham on many occasions over a 20 year period in Country Round Robin and State events and it was typical of most venues on the circuit. Three grass greens and comfortable clubrooms were again the norm and there was little that made the club stand out from the crowd. During the season of 2009/10 the Board realised that the traditional excellent quality greens were being compromised with the success of the club. The increase in greens usage came from a rapidly building Night Owls competition, social functions and the wish of members to use the grass surfaces at every opportunity. They were challenges not unique to Payneham but these issues caused the Board to challenge the future of the 92 year old club. A specially selected “Think Tank” under the guidance of President Wayne Prosser was chosen to consider where the club should be in five to 15 years. The awareness of a compelling case for change soon became evident and after appraising the situation six
points were identified as key factors. They included a serious reduction in greens costs, the avoidance of increasing water costs, the ability to have the club open 52 weeks of the year, the opportunity for members to have access to their club to play or practice seven days of the week all year round, the ability to grow the club both socially and financially. The sixth point identified was that in this day and age Bowling Clubs are a business and to shut down for three months of the year was a folly. In February 2011 the Board presented members with a proposal to change to carpet greens. It was a pivotal proposal because it reflected the always difficult concept of substantial change. The motion to proceed was passed with an overwhelming majority and an attractive loan with Bendigo Community Bank was secured over the freehold asset of the club as a small body of members researched all options available. The final decision was made to support the “Berry Carpet System” because they supply a good quality carpet and have a strict base preparation and ongoing support. A group of members visited Lakes Entrance to fully understand what that club had achieved from the Berry System’s greens that had been laid down two years previous. This visit was vital as it convinced the club of the importance of ongoing support and since the initial installation Berry Bowling Systems has supplied this in spades. Payneham have been fortunate to have Board member Chris Stegmeyer with a small group of members willing to oversee full responsibility for care and maintenance of the surfaces. After three years the club has gone
from strength to strength. The addition of a full time Club Manager has proven to be successful with the clubrooms open for functions year round. Over recent times the Board has offered the general public an opportunity to experience the club and the sport at a discount rate. The aim of this initiative is to build a database of contacts for future years by offering a “free” social membership. Like all bowling clubs Payneham needs to pick up a high percentage of its income and profitability from outside its member base and all lights are green as the operation moves forward. “The Premier Club of the East” indeed and if you get the opportunity to call in for a drink or a chat you will be welcomed with open arms.

KAREN MURPHY COMES TO EDWARDSTOWN
O
n January 2, 3 and 4 the Edwardstown Bowling Club held their inaugural Blue Diamond Classic that was part of their mission to run a new concept event by bringing World No.1 bowler Karen Murphy and Taylor Bowls General Manager Danny Keating to the Club. On the first day, two fully booked Clinics, run by Karen were held; players having come from as far
Then...
away as Alice Springs, Mount Gambier and Kimba. During the afternoon a Taylor demonstration was held, followed by a Sportsman evening incorporating an auction, with special guests, Karen Murphy, Adelaide Crows Football Club Development Coach & Vision Coordinator, Tate Kaesler, Les Burdett (former curator of the Adelaide Oval) and Wayne ‘Flipper’ Phillips (former Australian cricketer).
Now...
Always.
The second day saw the commencement of the Blue Diamond Classic which was hotly contested and while several teams finished undefeated the eventual winners were James Gregory and his team from West Lakes. Club President Chris Jones thanked the sponsors and has put the word out that the Club is working on launching an even bigger and better event next year!
Community Development SUCCESSFUL GRANT APPLICANTS
S
eventeen Bowling Clubs were successful in the recent announcements for Round 36 of the Active Clubs Program through the Office for Recreation & Sport totalling over $54,000. The successful applicants received funding for initiatives including Ground Maintenance Equipment, Medical Training & Equipment, Sport Equipment, Uniforms, Coach/Official Training & Development, Uniforms, Club Promotion and Volunteer Management & Training. Congratulations to the following Bowling Clubs that successfully gained funding: Barmera, Blackwood, Blyth, Curramulka, Edwardstown, Hamley Bridge, Happy Valley, Hope Valley, Kensington Gardens, Langhorne Creek, Mannum, McLaren Vale, Morphett Vale, Payneham, Penfield, Port Wakefield and Walkerville. Four bowling clubs have also been successful in gaining funding totalling $159,000 through the Office for Recreation & Sport’s Community Recreation & Sport Facilities Program. Congratulations to Beachport, Coffin Bay, Salisbury and Paskeville.
After previous unsuccessful applications, Beachport Bowling Club received $50,000 to assist with installing a synthetic green. During my visits to the club to provide assistance, I made the following suggestions: • Encourage someone from the Club to contact a Grant Consultant at the Office for Recreation & Sport to build rapport, discuss and make them aware of the club’s project and to discuss the reasons why the previous applications were unsuccessful. • Offered to review a past grant submission and suggested amendments and also offered to review any drafts submissions for the new application. Provided examples and a Letter of Support template that the club could utilise to send to other community organisations supporting their grant application. • A tip also suggested was to reduce the amount the club sought in previous applications, making the amount reflective of the membership base. • Providing a copy of the club’s Business or Strategic Plan as an
attachment to the application. Congratulations to Beachport Bowling Club for acting on the suggestions provided, engaging with the Office for Recreation & Sport and submitting what turned out to be a very success application. Daniel Lawlor Southern & Eastern SA 0407 134 954

Commercial Team Update
T
he Bowls season is in full swing, the Pennant season is getting to the business end, Men’s Country Week and Round Robin have been completed and we are looking forward to the Prestige Medley. I wish all Bowlers every success with the completion of the 2013/2014 season.
for their continued sponsorship of the Country Round Robin. The Bowlers Den will also continue to sponsor the popular “Spot the Jack” competition. I encourage all members to ensure they are aware of our Bowls SA sponsors and if the need arises please use their services.
The big news from the Commercial Team, as announced in the last edition, is that our Corporate Account Executive, Graham Saliba has commenced with us and is already working hard at developing events for our Member Clubs. We have invested in a marketing program to support this, which includes: •Newspaper Advertising •Promotional Flyers •Social Media Advertising: o Bowls SA website o Facebook Please ensure you recommend to all your friends, who may be looking for a venue for a social function, to think of Bowling Clubs and if they require any assistance to ring Graham. (See the promotion on page 9)
SENIORS SUPA SERIES A very important role of the Commercial Team this year is to work with the Seniors Committee to deliver funding for the 2014/2015 “Seniors Supa Series”. The Commercial Team are working very hard with local Council offices to secure funding to bring the events to their regions. We have already secured funding from the Mount Gambier Council for the next three years and we are in negotiations with several other councils, more to follow on this.
SPONSORS UPDATE Thank you to the ‘The Bowlers Den’
MEN’S COUNTRY WEEK – WEST END PAVILION Establishing the ‘West End Pavilion’ at the Adelaide Shores Caravan Park as a ‘meet and greet’ area for our Country Carnival participants was a new innovation this year allowing our country friends with an opportunity to meet
other players, discuss the days play and preview the rest of the week. In excess of 100 attended both nights and we extend a big thank you to Adelaide Shores and West End for their support.
Ian James
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS MANAGER
Unbiased Opinion measure is going to have any effect on the number of incidents that occur. A far more enlightened approach would be to look at the causes of these events. I would be cautious about accepting statistics. My view is that you can make statistics say pretty much what you want depending on how you present them.
KING HIT OR
COWARD’S
PUNCH? I
am not sure I can relate this article back to what happens on the bowling green but it is certainly very topical. There are some certainties regarding the debate, about “alcohol fuelled violence”. One is that it can result in tragedy as we have seen several times over recent years. Death from a “king hit: or a “coward punch” (however you describe it) results in tragedy for families and friends of any victim. A tragedy also for us as the wider community. NSW has now enacted laws that lock away offenders for a minimum of eight years for this type of offence. It creates a form of mandatory sentencing. It is highly likely several States will follow suit because it is popular politics at its best. No one would condone what occurs but taking away the discretion from the court in the sentencing of someone apprehended for such an act is not the answer. It can only lead to greater injustice. Longer sentences mean little to someone who is not thinking rationally at the time of the event. Drugs and alcohol mean that sentences do not act as a deterrent very effectively in this instance. Most of us would not act this way if unaffected by substances such as alcohol and drugs. I doubt whether this 28 | SA BOWLER | February 2014
Has there been an increase in incidents such as these? Is it that they are just reported more readily and in our instant world of social media everyone is aware of them? The real issue though is what to do about it apart from increasing penalties. As always the answer lies in education. The Sammy D Foundation arose as a result of a senseless act that took a promising young life. It displays a very enlightened approach to the issue. “Rack ‘em, pack ‘em and stack ‘em” does not really have a place for providing guidance and mentoring to young men so that when confronted with situations that occur at 3am in the morning they act differently or they are not there in the first place. The knee jerk reaction of increasing penalties, making mandatory minimums and the uselessness of calling it a coward punch instead of a king hit is not a productive approach to the issue. Closing up the streets earlier, making liquor not so freely available early in the morning, policing the streets and other measures appear to be having some assistance and effect in Adelaide and in other places around the country. These are the measures that should be explored. In the context of the asylum seeker debate, minimum five year terms for sailors on the smugglers boats have seen young men charged and sentenced to significant terms of imprisonment in Australia when it is questionable that there was any proof that they even knew that what they were doing was illegal. Mandatory Sentencing has that effect. It will be a sad day if legislators take away knowledge and intent from actions. We have to be very cautious about the administrative state. It is far easier to convict people when these critical elements of our criminal law do
not need to be present. We all want a safer world and safe society at night or during the day. Education and early spotting of those at risk of offending, through various programs, are areas where more resources and funding is needed. Society would be better off by contributing at that end rather than churning up tens of thousands of dollars a year to look after a prisoner at the other end, with the possibility of returning from time to time. Our current laws are more than adequate to deal with the type of act to which this article relates. What is not up to scratch is our failure to think beyond rack ‘em, pack ‘em and stack ‘em. It is a philosophy that has governed our rehabilitation system for a long time and occurs at great and ever increasing cost to the community. Economists (who now run the world) are also suggesting there are better ways of dealing with many offenders rather than locking them up for very lengthy expensive periods of time. Deterrents, both general and specific to the offender are important aspects of sentencing. So is rehabilitation. Finding a sense of justice for the victim or the victim’s family is also part of that process. A sense of justice though is different to retribution and vengeance. To my mind they have very little part to play in the sentencing process. I acknowledge that if someone close to me was injured in this manner I would feel bitter. But I am not representative of the community in that instance. Rather than legislate perhaps we should be considering why these events occur and to try and prevent them, rather than having to care for the injured, bury the dead or lock up an offender after the event. We should see if we can prevent such instances in the future through considering the causes, not focusing on the consequences.

Coaches Corner Never let anyone tell you that you can’t. The reason why some people say this is because someone told them once that they can’t, and they listened. Remember the moment you feel like giving up is when you are introduced to two things. Your limits and the opportunity to go past these limits.
SMART GOALS
Set yourself some goals, but make sure that they are…………….. Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Realistic and in a Time Frame.
PERCEPTION OF DISTANCE……..WITH THE JACK IN FRONT Some bowlers can misjudge lengthwise distances separating bowls in a head. The distance beyond the jack at which an object is fully visible does depends on your height of the eye line and the distance to the objects, but generally it is approximately a metre between them. The following two illustrations (the ditch top picture) and the bowl (below picture) are approximate a metre behind the jack.

Past Presidents SOUTHERN BRANCH V METROPOLITAN BRANCH The annual game for the John CravenNeville Nolan Trophy was played in perfect conditions at the Ascot Park Bowls Club. Past Presidents were welcomed by President Ron Nelson, and Metropolitan President Gil Kolenberg welcomed the Southern Branch with a response from their President, Greg Bulger. Southern were holding a slight advantage at lunch and Metropolitan were hoping to break the stranglehold Southern had held for the past 10 years, however it was not to be, with the final result, Southern 217, Metropolitan 171. President Gil presented the Trophy to President Greg and the best performed teams from each branch were recognised. Southern: Fred Blake (Myponga), Phil Clifford (McLaren Flat), Norm Stanbridge (Myponga) and Skip, Neil Haskell (Myponga) Metropolitan: Brian Wray (Marion RSL), Joan Dunn (Payneham), Mal Baldock (Happy Valley) and Skip, Bill Dunn.
LOWER NORTH BRANCH V NORTHERN BRANCH The Brian Condon Trophy was the prize for the recent game at the BHAS Bowling Club between Lower North and Northern. Unfortunately 10 mm of rain fell just prior to the start of the game which restricted play to the new synthetic green. The field was limited to 56 players but all in attendance got a game in one of the two games played. Northern again had a comfortable victory and at close of play Past Presidents pens were drawn and a raffle conducted. The BHAS ladies provided an excellent lunch and afternoon tea and they were warmly thanked for their work. LOWER SOUTH-EAST BRANCH V VICTORIA Competing for the Russell-Mitchell Shield, the Lower South East played the Far Western Past Presidents from Victoria at the Mount Gambler RSL Bowling Club. President Derk Pietersma welcomed the visitors, with a response from the Victorian President. The 48 players played 10 ends followed by lunch
but the weather worsened in the afternoon restricting play to 5 ends. The Far Western Past Presidents retained the shield giving them back to back wins. Best performed team for LSE were Bill Davis, Cliff Elton, Trevor Barker and Skipper, Ron Ploenges.

REGION 1
The State Pairs have been finalised at region level resulting in Port MacDonnell members Jenny Tilley and Joy Bilney, and Neil Poulton and David Lack of Bordertown winning their way into the final playoffs to be held in Moonta in April. The annual challenge match between the Wimmera and the Lower South East was held at Naracoorte and produced another close finish reminiscent of last year with the Lower South East falling short by 5 shots with a final score of 197-202. The women’s Wimmera versus LSE event scheduled for the same day had to be postponed when the Wimmera League were unable to field sufficient teams. Two days of celebrations marked the 50th Anniversary of the Mount Gambier RSL Bowls Club. From humble beginnings in 1963 the now modern clubhouse was filled with 170 past and present members who enjoyed a terrific night of catching up and nostalgia. President Deane Wilkinson welcomed everyone and introduced official guests; Daniel Lawlor (Bowls Australia Community Development Officer) replacing Bowls SA President, Don Crosby who was unable to attend, Region 1 Councillors Barry Oliver and Jenny Waugh, LSEBA President Max Blacketer accompanied by his wife Dorothy, Mount Gambier City Councillor Andrew Lee and Independent MP Don Peglar. During the evening Councillor Jenny Waugh presented Ken McCormick with his Bowls SA Super Veteran badge. Rick Chirgwin kept everyone amused with humorous anecdotes about some of the characters that have graced the club over the past 50 years. Foundation members Ron Barnes, Shirley Wilkinson, Patsy and Len Bell, and Marge Adams, (whose father George Adams was the original instigator of the Club) had the honour of cutting the 50th Anniversary cake.

Curramulka Curramulka Bowling Club on the Yorke Peninsula has a total of 29 registered men players. A Club record has been established by entering six rinks in the Men’s Country Carnival events in February 2014. Twenty four members competed and never before in the Club’s history have so many of the men wanted to attend. Well done Curramulka!
REGION 3
Port Germein On Wednesday January 8 a Port Germein team achieved an ‘8’. As we know these are hard to get, but what made this even more special was that in this team there was a lad by the name of Nathan Black who is only 10 years old who is in his second season of bowling and Jeff Greenough who is a first year bowler. The other members were experienced bowlers Ted Langford and Kevin Mudge.
Predictably Schroeder won his way to the Sunday knockout rounds. The knockout and Semi-final matches were played under the Mount Barker dome with Ray Schroeder continuing his winning streak to go into the Final against Mal Jonas. The predictions for a closely fought final were spot on with Schroeder racing to an 11-1 lead after just nine ends but Jonas was getting plenty bowls in the head and slowly got into the match. Schroeder looked a little less commanding when the score line reached 15-14 with an upset very possible. The two traded blows and the score remained tight over the next few ends but Schroeder found that something extra and with three shots on the last end, secured a 25-17 win. Ray Schroeder will now strive to become the 2014 Bowls SA Men’s State Singles Champion when he competes against the other 11 region qualifiers in the inaugural Champions Week to be held in Moonta from 24 - 30 April.

In 1973/74 and 1985/86 she also represented South Australia in the State Side. From the outset Muriel served as Club Treasurer, Secretary, Chair of Selectors, on a range of Committees and was an Umpire for most of her bowling career.

Men’s Singles Qualifying Thirty-two entrants played qualifying rounds of the Bowls SA Men’s State Singles over two days at the Meadows, Lobethal and Mt Barker Bowling Clubs to determine the winner to playoff in the Champions Week in Moonta in April this year. The Mallee was well represented with nine entries with Murrayville’s legendary Ray Schroeder being the “man to beat”.
Muriel Marsh at the dedication of The Muriel Marsh Green Clearview Fifty years or half a century is a long time when related to a life on human terms and in a Club’s life, and particularly the Clearview Bowling Club, it will hopefully represent just a small part of a long and illustrious future. The Club was founded at a General Meeting
CLUB & REGIONAL NEWS FROM ACROSS THE STATE on 11th September 1963 when an astute band of local citizens formed a Foundation Committee. A Special General Meeting on 11th November 1963 closed membership of the Foundation Committee at 51. The Enfield Council provided a grant of £750 ($1,500) for fencing and earthworks for the project. Under the stewardship of President Jack Weekley the area was fenced and the first green sown to seed. Construction of the Clubrooms followed, and after herculean efforts by the Contractor and volunteers, was ready for occupation in 1964. Some highlights over the 50 years have been alterations, extensions and improvements to the Clubhouse on at least five occasions. The most unusual of these occurred when the entire roof was torn off and dumped on the greens after a violent storm in 1972. The Greens have been re sown or re-laid on four occasions and in 1989 Clearview became the first metropolitan Club to have synthetic greens. The Club has become a central point for the promotion of Bowls for the Disabled in South Australia, hosting International, National and State Events very successfully and is the home base for the well-known ‘Wombats’. A successful amalgamation was arranged with the Abattoirs Bowling Club resulting in benefits that are still being felt and in 2011 and 2012 the Club won the Clubs SA Award for the ‘Best Bowling Club of the Year’. To mark the 50th Anniversary milestone a Gala Dinner was held at which President Allan Weber officially welcomed the 140 Members, partners and guests. Invited guests included Hon. John Rau MP – Deputy Premier and Member for Enfield; Hon. Kate Ellis MP – Federal Member for Adelaide; Bob Thomas – Finance Director, Bowls SA; Cameron Taylor – President Club’s SA; City of Port Adelaide Enfield Councillor Carol Martin; Dean Moseley – Life Member and John Nash – Clearview Bowling Club member for 47 years. Part of the evening’s proceedings was the unveiling of a commemorative plaque presented to the Club by the City of Port Adelaide Enfield together with a Certificate from Bowls SA acknowledging the Anniversary.

Clarence Gardens The Clarence Gardens Bowling CIub has been given a $30,000 grant from the City of Mitcham Council and is hoping to secure a further $100,000 from the State Government to go towards laying artificial turf at its Winona Avenue site. The Club has also received a $500 City of Mitcham Community Development Grant towards the upgrade of their outdoor barbeque area. A Mayoral reception was held by the City of Mitcham on December 2, 2013 to acknowledge grant recipients. Twentysix applicants had been lodged with 19 receiving grants. Clarence Gardens President/Secretary Pauline Herring, said that hearing the variety of reasons for submitting applications from the other grant recipients made it an extremely interesting evening.
John Smith, Pauline Herring, Dean Cresswell and Mayor Michael Picton Three Generations Once again verifying that Bowls is a sport for all ages, three generations of one family played pennant bowls late last year. Charlie Short 93 years old played as skip for Edwardstown Bowling Club, while his son, 65 year old Graham Short skipped for Coffin Bay and his son, Matthew Short, 40 years old, skippered a team for the Angaston Bowling Club. And to make it even more memorable for the family trio all three had a winning day.
West Lakes in the Pink
Grange Bendigo Bank has awarded a $5,500 grant to the Grange Bowling Club to spend on educating young bowlers. Students from St. Michael’s College were the first group to attend, what will be an ongoing series of school sessions. Judging by the smiles, it was a highly successful morning for the students and the Club.
REGION 12
On Friday January 10, West Lakes held their 6th ‘Pink Day’. Conditions were perfect with the West Lakes breeze keeping everyone cool. Once again Ron Mitchell ran the day and looked gorgeous in his pink wig. Ladies were asked to purchase a “Pink Paddle Pop” stick for $1 per team, per game for “Power Play” to double their score on a nominated end. Over $200 was raised for the McGrath Foundation. As everyone looked so lovely in their pink tops, we did away with best dressed and had prizes for touchers for Lead, Second, Third and Skip in the 2nd game instead. The day was won by the ladies from Hope Valley. A great time was had by all.

Questions Questions
You Be the Umpire
1
While checking the players’ bowls, prior to the commencement of a major competition, the umpire notices that one player has placed another set of plain coloured stickers on top of his club stickers. Is this allowed?
2
One team in a pennant side arrives at the venue with one player missing in their team. No Substitutes are available and they argue that they want to play with their 3 players using 6 bowls only as they don’t want to lose one fourth of their total score. Is this allowed?
3
When deciding on the number of shots scored in the end, Third A starts to move bowls after two shots have been measured. Team B objects and claims she wanted to measure another bowl. When the umpire is called how would they rule?
4
When light rain began to fall, players leave the green to shelter but one team wishes to continue playing. How can the game proceed?
5
During play, when the mat became slippery, a player wanted to turn the mat over but the opponent disagreed. Can the mat be turned?

Answers
You Be the Umpire
1
No. The umpire would ask the player to remove the stickers not relevant to the competition and explain that there should be only one such set of markings on each bowl. Law 8.1.8.2
2
No. The umpire would advise that they are to use 8 bowls with the Lead and Second playing three bowls each in order with their opponents and then one fourth of their total score deducted at the end of their game. Law 46.2.2
3
An agreement had not been reached on the total number of shots scored so Third B would be advised to replace the displaced bowl to its original position and measuring would continue. Law 28.1.4.1
4
The team wishing to continue should appeal to the umpire who would decide on the suitability of the playing conditions and whether play should continue or not. Law 50.1
5
Yes. There is nothing in Law 19.2 which states that the mat cannot be turned over as long as it is placed back in its original position.
