From the President

It is my pleasure to welcome all members to the 2010/11 season of our Club.

The Club is in a very good position at this time as evidenced by the supportive turnout at our Annual Meeting in June. The Club is also in a strong position from a financial point of view, due to the diligent work of our Treasurer. I am pleased to advise that the Membership Fees for the coming season will not increase. The other strength of the Club is the Executive Committee which has been elected. All the other vital positions have so willingly been filled by our members to ensure the efficient and enjoyable operation of the Club.

We have our clubrooms in top order and the greens and our gardens make our surroundings one of the best in New Zealand. I think these attributes make us a desirable Club for new members and it is important for all members to look to attract new members.

I have particularly welcomed the members that had recently joined our Club from Riccarton and United. You have all joined in our activities, particularly indoor bowls over the winter, and trust you enjoy your time with us as we have enjoyed you company and contribution.

Work is well under way on the No1 Green which will be available for play from November, despite the set back of the earhquakes.

We are most grateful of all the sponsors who continue to support our Club Tournaments, and trust the members are able to reciprocate this patronage whenever they can.

I wish you all an enjoyable season of bowls at whatever level you wish to participate, enjoy our facilities, and fellowship with other members. Good health and good bowling.

Bill Todd

President
