BOWLS WA REPORTS - FIXTURES & EVENTS
As a volunteer group, the Fixtures & Events (F & E) committee, with the support of Bowls WA Competition and Talent Development Manager Pieter Harris, attempt to provide a structure to the WA bowling community by delivering a Leonie Potts pennant competition along with State Championships, Over 60’s events, Under 18 Championships, Country Weeks and various other major bowls events.
The Bowls Management committee (BMC) is made up of another group of volunteers who represent bowlers throughout the State. They play an important role in considering recommendations made by the F & E committee before changes or decisions are implemented. The members of this committee form a vital connection with the bowling community of which they are all members. I thank them for the support and encouragement they give to the F & E committee. The number of participants entering both Men’s and Women’s State events showed an increase this season.
My thanks also to the Bowls WA Board and staff who have encouraged and supported our The F & E committee is currently made up of committee throughout the past year. The pool seven members who go about their duties of volunteers from the bowls community appears without expectation of any acknowledgement to be drying up and I implore lovers of the sport but enjoying being a part of the Bowls WA of bowls to consider taking on a role within one organisation. I thank them for their commitment of the Bowls WA committees. If you have ideas, and, as a bowler, I appreciate the fact that without suggestions or skills to offer that will support or them Bowls WA would not be able to provide improve our great game of bowls then bowls the competition structure that it currently does. I needs you now. Join a committee and help make would also like to thank the Greens and Umpires a positive difference to our sport. committee members of Bowls WA for their contribution to events. Obviously, many other match officials and umpires at a club level are required to assist the F & E committee and these volunteers play their part in providing the competitive structure for bowlers to enjoy. I thank them all and appreciate the effort they put into supporting their individual clubs and Bowls WA. Another group that supports our committee are the green keepers and club officials who look after their clubs’ greens. Without the cooperation of clubs in making their facilities available for events, no competitions would take place. In particular I would like to thank those clubs who offered greens late in the season for the Mixed State Pairs. I would like to note the continual difficulties to get sufficient venues to hold events. Should this continue, as a committee, we will need to look at different strategies.
