President's Report
Annual General Meeting 2020/2021
I
believe that the 2020/21 season has been another stellar period in the Club’s continued quest for excellence.
As with all clubs, maintaining and growing membership is crucial not only to our prosperity but indeed survival. Sorrento emerged well from the Covid-19 closures with an overall membership of 814, including 256 registered bowlers. Marketing strategies are essential for membership success. As well as membership drives, we are involving social media such as Facebook to target the younger demographic. Bowling Performance During the 2020/21 season Sorrento fielded 23 Pennant divisions of men and women. We never forfeited a game and achieved great success that included: • Promotion to Men’s 1 White Saturday • Promotion to Men’s 2 Blue Saturday • Promotion to Women’s 1 Blue Saturday • Competing in the Premier Division and other playoffs • Retaining Premier Divisions for both the men and women. Sorrento had no demotions for Tuesday and Saturday Pennants but did experience some demotions on Thursdays. This is understandable when our Club fields so many divisions and supports so many players. On many occasions Sorrento’s 8th, 9th and 10th ranked sides were competing against the 3rd and 4th sides of other clubs.
