way the Club was being run especially the way things were heading and so I decided to stand for re election. This year I do not want to do a seventh year and I am now happy to pass the Captaincy over to Peter Flack. We need someone like Peter to be strong and stand up for all men bowlers and I know Peter will do a great job so best of luck Peter. After 6 years it's all over for me and I would like to thank everyone who supported me because it was a pleasure for me to be your Captain. – Regards John Godfrey
Getting to Know Our New Members

uring his tenure as Chairman of Selectors, Rob Tozer said in regard to new bowlers joining Sorrento that it would be highly encouraging if our Club could attract “a few younger blokes”. “When I say younger blokes, you are looking at blokes less than 60 which is a pretty loose definition of younger,” Rob said at the time. Well, in the 2021 Men’s Novice Singles championship the average age worked out to be 60.5 years. That’s pretty close to Rob’s mark but the most important aspect is that Sorrento is still attracting new bowlers when a lot of clubs are struggling just to maintain their numbers. The six blokes pictured above are a diverse lot from varied backgrounds, but they all have interesting stories to tell. This is what they revealed.
