Hello again, We are trying to get the contact down to weekly, so when the season starts, the results from Club games, interclub, other results, Club Captains Saturday night messages and results from outside the club can be sent out to you to keep you informed how your club is going and if you may have missed something important. Have you received the latest E-news?
The Seasons programme and the lastest release of the Tattler newsletter has been placed on this site for you to view and copies have been placed at the club. A new format on Saturdays has had to be arranged with the Mens 3/4's and 7's in the mornings and the Womens 2/4's and 7's in the afternoon due to over crowding of greens. The ladies will have to keep at least 3 Sundays free as the are penciled in to play Club Champs on these days.
We have a lot of new members joining this season, some you will know as they have moved up from social members to full, and some will be new faces. If you see someone you don't know, make contact and make them feel welcome.
I don't know if you have all noticed, to the left, under Links is the 'Christchurch 10 Day Weather Forecast' webpage link. This page will allow you the chance to see the predicted weather forecast for the next 10 days so you can book your midweek games in early. The next 2 days are fine with Friday clouding over for a wet weekend.
Do you have any other Links to websites that will assist our or other club members? Let us know, any ideas, thoughts that you would like added or just past on though your clubs notice page.
An item brought up at the Bowls Canterbury AGM, was the rise in GST, from 12.5% to 15% on the 1st Oct 2010. Quoted was that any fees received after the 1st Oct, must include the new GST increase of 15%. Don't delay your early membership payment as the above costs will have to be past on.
