20.01.2022 Congratulations to Thursday Division 5 Ladies who have been promoted to Division 4 for season 20/21, should bowling be active again at that time.

19.01.2022 During the last five Mondays our Club has ran a very successful Jack Attack Programme to introduce the younger members of our community to Bowls from Kempton Primary School. Big thank you to Elisabeth Hoare, Elizabeth Downward, Tony Bartninkaitis, Judy Hollaway and Louise Cooper for volunteering your time to run this amazing program. The children had a great time discovering our amazing game.

18.01.2022 CLUB REPRESENTATIVES Congratulations to all our teams who represented our club in the Southern Triples Competition during the past week. Well done to our Open Men's team J Nichols, M Daniels and G Wakefield and our B Grade Mens team of Ryan Williams and Kyle Byard and David Williams - both teams represented our Club in great games of Bowls but did not progress to the next round. Our ladies Opens Team of E Downward, J Hollaway and K Sproule had a fantastic game of Bowls on ...Friday but could not get over the line at the end of the day. Well done to all these teams. Congratulations to Kevin Booth, Simon Hartgrove and Ross Mitchelmore who made it through to the Semi Finals in the B Grade Triples next week - we wish them the very best of luck. Due to a favourable draw, our B Grade Ladies A Wilton, S Wilton and L Cooper commence their competition straight into the Semi Finals later this week. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OUR TEAMS AS THEY HEAD INTO THE SEMI FINALS.

18.01.2022 Very happy to report that Simon Hartgrove has offered to continue on with Wednesday Bowls and maintain the format that was very successfully introduced by Mark. Thanks to Simon, who also combined with Amity a few weeks ago to keep social Saturdays going. Secretary Elizabeth has offered to assist Simon on Wednesdays and I thank her for that. Great to see younger Members coming through and filling these roles. Thanks Mark for your involvement and best wishes in your job.

18.01.2022 Club PlayingTops - if you require a new playing top for this season please contact our Club Secretary Elizabeth. Tops will be around $45 and extra length is available for $11. If you need a new top please dont rely on us having stock on hand as we have only a few left. Due to Covid they will take about 6 weeks to come so our orders will be placed next Tuesday 8th September.

17.01.2022 Bowls Tasmania is aware that there will be many questions regarding todays announcements from the Tasmanian Premier and Australian Prime Minister and how this ...will impact the sport of Bowls in Tasmania. The Premier has announced that some easing of restrictions that will influence bowls will come into effect beginning Monday 18th May 2020. An easing of restrictions will be introduced gradually and in increments by the Tasmanian Government. Please be aware that Bowls Tasmania will be submitting a draft Return to Play Document to the State Government through Sport & Recreation Tasmania for consideration early next week. Once this document is approved and there is a clear and approved path back to bowls beginning with informal roll ups we will ensure all Regions, Clubs and Members are aware of this. In the meantime please abide by all current Government Regulations. Keep up the good work Tasmania and Stay Safe.

17.01.2022 Our Club AGM was held on Sunday and we congratulate incoming President Doug Hollaway. Huge thank you to our past President Van Ransley and to all our leaving board members - thank you so much for your hard work and the great input you have made. Welcome to our new Board members for 2020/2021. Attached are a few photos of some of our Awards winners for Penant and Club Championships which were presented after our AGM.

17.01.2022 Members, a couple of matters following the Premiers Wednesday announcement: The Board is meeting on Tuesday evening next week for the first time since March 12 and the COVID close down that week. No doubt the question of reopening will be addressed along with the directions to be observed; and During the close down, considerable work has been undertaken on both greens. The synthetic green was sprayed for moss growth and brushed to remove debris and surplus sand. ... On Saturday, a limited number of bowlers will be putting down a few bowls to confirm that surface levels have not been disturbed by the work. This is not a sign that the green is open - it is part of the maintenance process to get it in first rate order for when it is opened. Thank you all for your patience, I look forward to seeing you on the green. See more

03.01.2022 Good evening Members. Some good news! Mark Conway coordinated the first social bowls afternoon today for 18 players with Simon Hartgrove the winner and Sue Grant runner up. The $50 jackpot carried over, so $100 for next week. Saturday social may be just a week or so away. ... Simon has offered to help get it up and going, but he has work commitments each second week. He and Amity Booth are talking to see if they can make Saturday afternoons work. But, some more helpers would ensure that it can start. If you think that you could help on some Saturday afternoons, please contact me. I hope that tomorrow I can also advise of some availability of week day access. At this stage there are still considerations to be made in the interests of safety, which need someone to be present when open to monitor that the necessary Covid requirements are observed. Thats being worked on and again, if you are in a position to be at the Club for a couple of hours to help keep us all safe, please get in touch with me. All the best. Van

03.01.2022 Great to see Life Member Kevin Booth arrived home from hospital this afternoon after a recent hip replacement. Expect to see him on the green tomorrow, given his tenacity and grit.

Noelene has remarkably endured several actual knee replacements plus additional operations to remedy shortcomings in between replacements. ... Best wishes Noelene for a complete fix this time. Also heard that Alice Clark WAS back on the green this week after her recent surgery. Some of your Clubs senior Members are made of good stuff!
