President's Message:
Congratulations to all who
participated, attended, or assisted in the 2010
ANZRI Lawn Bowls Carnival, held recently in
Ballarat, at Sebastopol Bowls Club.
Our hearty thanks go to the organisers, Carnival
Chairman (David Emmerson), Secretary (Robert Philp)
Treasurer (Peter Dwyer) and the Carnival Committee
(Kevin Mansbridge, Garry Bester, Geoff Close, Ray
Whitehead, myself) and other assistance provided by
members in general.
The Carnival was a resounding success! Hailed by
some as the "best ever" - most participants had all
the fun that was intended - win, lose or draw!
Thanks to the organisations that supported our
Carnival and who, without, it would not have been
such a success.
These include (but not only):
- Sebastopol Bowls Club,
Greenkeepers, Chefs, Bar staff and all involved
there
- Alpine Tours, our Transport Provider,
- Bell Tower Inn Accommodation & Begonia City Motor
Inn Accommodation Services for Visiting and Local
attendees.
- John Wakeling (Ballarat VRI Secretary and Liason
Officer for the Carnival).
The list is endless, for thanks, so if we have
forgotten anyone, our apologies, please accept our
thanks.
Unfortunately, due to the
Home Carnival, our entries in the VRI Bowls Annual
Country Week are almost nill, so this event will NOT
be run this year.
Congratulations to all the winners of the events at
the Carnival, and well done to the Victorian Side
for representing the VRI Bowls Club so well.
More details appear in other pages here, of the
results, photos, statistics and news from the
Carnival.
Until our next event,
Best wishes & Good Bowling,
David Emmerson, President.
