CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
The festive season is behind
us as we prepare for the
challenge of a new year. As
we enter into a historically
quiet period before the
Easter/Anzac breaks we review our first six months of
the fiscal year
Club Summary:
July – December 2014
The first six months of the
financial year saw the Club
generate 20% more income
when compared to the same
period of the previous year.
This may appear exciting
but expenditure also rose by
the same percentage, which
in a small way negates the
result.
However some of the extra
expenditure has been identified as items added after the
budget was approved to create the extra income and
hopefully increase income
without added expenditure
as time moves on. Some
were not and will be addressed.
The Club’s net growth for
the period stands at around
$80,000.00.
The Board of Management
has instigated a process of
internal audit of Administra-
tion and Operations to better all the way through our forunderstand the operations

There is always an intriguing story that occurs
at this event and this year was no exception.
Fred Diamond’s partner Ian Taylor could not
make Saturday’s play after being flooded in at
Murwillumbah, so Mark Prosser swapped his
golf shoes for bowls shoes and filled in for Ian.
Three wins on Saturday, 2 of them by 1 shot,
kept Fred in touch with the leaders but 34
shots behind. Ian arrived to play on Sunday
and 3 more wins left Fred & Ian the only 6
game winners and therefore the champions for
the second year in a row.
The first four places were:
Ian Taylor, Fred Diamond
Kurt Brown, Brett Wilkie
Tim Diedricks, Troy somerville
Richard Latta, Brett Dean

Did you know?
THE BEGINNINGS OF BOWLS
Bowls historians believe that the game developed from the Egyptians. One of their pastimes
was to play skittles with round stones. This has
been determined based on artefacts found in
tombs dating circa 5000 BC. The sport spread
across the world and took on a variety of forms,
Bocce (Italian), Bolla (Saxon), Bolle (Danish),
Boules (French) and Ula Miaka (Polynesian).
Lyn Joy (pictured
here with Keith
Wilson) is the
lucky winner of
the set of bowls
raffled at the
North Shore Realty
Invitation Pairs.
Congratulations
Lyn. We look
forward to seeing
you out on the
green with them.
THE BANNING OF LAWN BOWLS
King Henry VIII was also a lawn bowler. However, he banned the game for those who were
not wealthy or “well to do” because “Bowyers,
Fletchers, Stringers and Arrowhead makers”
were spending more time at recreational events
such as bowls instead of practising their trade.
Henry VIII requested that anybody who wished
to keep a green pay a fee of 100 pounds. However, the green could only be used for private
play and he forbade anyone to “play at any
bowle or bowles in open space out of his own
garden or orchard”.
King James I issued a publication called “The
Book of Sports” and, although he condemned
football (soccer) and golf, he encouraged the
play of bowls.
In 1845, the ban was lifted, and people were
again allowed to play bowls and other games of
skill.

Ladies’ President
Well, Christmas has come
and gone and we are already
through the month of January. Our ladies started back
bowling mid January with the
start of the Club Championship Fours.
Four teams have progressed
to Round 2, but it was rained
out with the games to be
played the following week.
Our Super Challenge ladies
have played their first games
with both Gold and Bronze
having 1 win and 1 loss.
Good luck for the rest of the
Super Challenge games.
We are holding a “friendship”
day on Thursday, 12th February, and have invited the
Noosa Heads ladies to join
us in our ladies day triples. It
would be great if you could
put your names down and
play on the day. It is the normal format and we would like
to encourage the Noosa ladies to consider joining our
club as their club will be closing in a few months.
There are quite a few club
competitions coming up,
please check in the games
room for the entry dates and
get some teams together.
am sorry I missed the Christmas party but we were cruising around NZ at the time.
We have a few new members
awaiting lockers. Could you
please check the sheet in the
ladies room and make sure
your designated locker number
corresponds with your name.
Our “Bowler of the Month” this
month is Joy Westbrook. Well
done Joy. The club really appreciates your dedication.
That’s about it from me for this
month.
