STBC WEEKLY NOTES
STBC BOWLS NOTES 29/01/2024
Reminder – If any member has been notified by a family or friend that they are a close contact (COVID). PLEASE do not come to bowls until you have a negative test result.
If all members could wear their name badges when playing on bowls days so as our new members and visitors alike can put faces to names.
Well, I hope everybody enjoyed their Australia Day activities, Club Toowoomba held their Australia Day Pairs and whilst very humid was a great day with 16 teams enjoying the bowls and the friendship on the day (some of you anyway).
Our social days have been a tracking good numbers with both jackpots going off this year. The green is improving each time we play and with more preparation should be coming up to speed over the next week or so. We will be inspecting the top green late next week and will decide on whether it will be playable or how much longer it will be.
Last Thursday members of our committee met with CT management to be given an update on the new facilities. Gave has again committed to providing the new facilities and will be meeting with the contractors this week. He has given assurances that we will have a date and timeline for the construction by 5th Feb 24. This is something that our committee will be following up vigorously in
the coming week.
Members are reminded that the new membership cards are available at the Club and diaries available for the Bowls Committee.
