Quote of the Day

"When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them. Then I got a job working in a Pet Store and the people used to ask the owner how big would I get, and on Halloween, the parents in our street used to send their kids out looking like me" - Roger Dangerfield

The End of an Era
A Special General Meeting happened at Port Panthers on Friday, 16th May. A unanimous vote, by our fourteen District Clubs, passed the Zone Alone proposal.  The long and the short of it all is administration will now be focussed at Zone level and everything else (Pennants, Championships etc) will carry on as per normal. After the meeting, clubs battled it out over a game of bowls and a fine lunch, thank you Panthers Sports Club, was had by all. After the lunch clubs had an opportunity to have their say on a range of matters and some sage words were given those who had a lot of "runs on the board". A great day. Thank you Captain Ken.

To commemorate this important day Ken Errington, our current, and last, District President wrote a short, reflective history of the District. Click here to read his article. Anyone who can add "missing" footnotes to the District history are asked to contact Ken (email address is lilypond@midcoast.com.au)

 


Club Websites

Michael Howard supplied me with the SWRocks Men's Bowling Club's new web address. Well done Michael - the site is impressive. In his email he suggested other clubs in the Zone might like to add links from their own web sites to other Zone clubs to share across club and event(s) information... a great idea.


Zone Alone

Ken Errington, our District President writes...

 “The District met on 30th March, at Westport and resolved to go Zone Alone.  What that means is that the Districts will be dissolved and the Zone will be the only Administrative body controlling our game. All this will still take a while, but on the 30th June, 2014  the Districts will be dissolved, a caretaker (current Zone Officials) will keep things going until the Zone elections on the 17th August, 2014. 

As law denotes and legal advice is sought re wording, (there) will be … another Special General Meeting in both Districts for the adoption of resolutions to fast track action in the winding up details, dates, finances, equipment etc. This is to be set for Sunday, 18th May, 2014, 10am, venue TBA.  If all resolutions are passed (it appears that every Club agrees), then a SGM of the Zone Management Committee will be held on Sunday, 15th June, 2014 to rubberstamp all the resolutions to make it all happen.”

A precis of the motions passed at the March 30th meeting are available to view/download in PDF format here.


The District would love to post Club Championship results to this website. Our first club to go public was Crescent Head, well done boys - now Kempsey Heights have joined in as well - so please send us your results as they are finalized and we will let the rest of the District know.
