It was terrific to see locals Luke, Dave, Mick, Peter, Lilly and Gail enjoying their first lawn bowls experience having noticed we were open on Saturday afternoon and coming in and asking to have a roll. Bar volunteer Judith was delighted to welcome the new bowlers on the green with club member Gary Darcy obliging by setting up a rink and offering instructions on how to play.

They all showed they had the skill to play, some being more competitive than the others, but just as important was the laughter and enjoyment coming from the rink. A fun time was had by all and we look forward to seeing them again on Wednesday Twilight Bowls or next Saturday afternoon from 2:30pm where new bowlers are always welcome.

Tuesday 12 June 2018 was a day where luck was to play a major part for any real win. Some thought it could never happen. Some say they never have enough luck, others think it’s a myth. But no, who should we see have a change in fortunes and have some luck, you may have guessed it , no not Joe Walters but as some might say that lucky John Kapetanic.

Relma Godfrey and John played the correct amount of good and bad shots to have the exact margin as required plus 6 to win $200 in the lucky jackpot. That is absolute skill mixed with correct amount of luck and not often achieved. Congratulations to Relma and John on your winnings and see you both back next week to repeat the performance.

What an outstanding first half the year for our club. So much has been achieved by so many for the betterment of all at the club. To give for the good of all members can never be overstated.

I take this time to acknowledge those who have passed. They will be missed but never forgotten. Always a valued member of the MBC family they will be.

As we just complete the end of financial year I would like to report to all the members on our strong financial position and continued forward thinking plans and governance that will certainly future proof our club for many years to come.

It is great to be cash positive as well as having made so many improvements. As a board we have promised and delivered on being very open in all our areas of governance and I thank each of my board members for their robust debate in achieving this aim for our members.

Thus making the club the place it is for all where every opinion is valued and all people welcome.

We as a board have worked hard at making the club the place you would all want it to be. We thank you for your support and continued contribution both on the green or in the clubhouse.

The board has signed off on all the acquittal for our bar redevelopment and the grants won to assist in this wonderful development for all of our community. This wonderful facility sets us apart as a venue now and one we can all be proud of as a member.

The feature of our club that pleases me as Chairman most is the development of our volunteer skill set. We are now a truly self managing group capable of running this small business very efficiently with a truly viable future. A real achievement for bowls clubs as we look around in secretary@malenybowlsclub.com.au

8 Bunya Street, Maleny, 4552

www.malenybowlsclub.com.au

the current climate.

No club can remain viable without a wonderful set of volunteers and we at MBC are no exception. To all who give in any way a big thank you for your contribution in so many ways at the club.

As a club the culture of being the best we can within our budget guided by good governance depicted by clarity of purpose and open communication has enabled this position for us at MBC. To all members we as a board appreciate your support and input and I make the promise that you communicate any concerns in writing and we will acknowledge such contributions to the good governance of the club.

What we have all achieved and continue to do with such a small but vibrant group is something we can all be proud of in meeting our own commitments as well as those with our fellow hinterland bowls clubs .That is what makes us number one for so many.

Thank you all for being who you are as it is those differences, strengths and weaknesses that makes our club such a great community facility used by so many. MBC members....a big well done, onward and upward.

Keep rolling up.

Since the re-introduction of keg beer 4 weeks ago we have finished our first full keg of XXXX Gold. We have sold the equivalent of 2 kegs (XXXX Gold, XXXX Bitter, Hahn Super Dry, Hahn Premium Light) during the first month of operation which is a great start. As well as proving very popular keg beer has seen a huge 63% reduction in refuse (empty stubby beers) as well as savings for our volunteer bar staff in stocking fridges and carting refuse to the bins. secretary@malenybowlsclub.com.au
