BOWLS NEWS

MEN’S BOWLS

37 bowlers took part in the Thursday peg-draw with visitors once again amongst the winners. Wally Dawson and Roger Badains from Busselton were assisted by our own Butch Sharpe in winning the meat while Lindsay Blyth, also of Busselton, helped Alan Legge, as runners-up. A visitor from Melville, Bill Pallot, assisted “57 varieties” in taking away the Mars bar.

Only 6 bowlers of mixed gender took part in the Saturday peg-draw despite a beautiful winter’s day. (Maybe many were resting to get their legs in trim for the wonderful Rock ‘n’ Roll concert the next day!). Rob Prentice and the new lady on the block, Karen Lewis, were top bowlers and recovered their green fees.

Kevin Gibb attended the SWBL AGM on Monday and reported that the presence of Dunsborough with observer status was well received and that the likelihood of us entering a 3^rd team in the SWBL next season looks a go-er.

Merv Mott was our delegate at the LL AGM, also on Monday, and it looks as if there will again be a single division in the Men’s Pennants competition next season, with the possibility of a return to two divisions the year after, and the creation of a promotion/relegation system (as in English soccer) the year after. Our motion, that the affiliation fee for the LL be based upon the number of Pennant sides a club enters rather than a club’s membership numbers, was defeated. Each member will contribute $7.50 next season to the LL, the same as last year. The $7.50, like each member’s more substantial contribution to BWA, will be included in the single $180 Bowling Section fee for next season.

Those that have not yet done so are requested to attach their names to their lockers in the men’s changing room so that we can ascertain free lockers for those on a waiting list of bowlers that have requested one.

If you are willing to play the occasional game of Pennants next year as a substitute, please enter your name ASAP on the list attached to the noticeboard, so that we can be sure of how many sides to enter into Tuesday and Saturday pennants competitions next season

MIXED TUESDAY SOCIAL BOWLS

We set a record everyone. 31 people for our fun day. Good on ya.

Thanks for everyone to make it happen. Norm Gage again did very well in all his 3 games to be the first into the final, followed by Rob Prentice, Sue Chester and Judy Henderson. In the finals though Rob showed his best form to take out first place and nail the big prize. Hope to see you all again next Tuesday.

LEAGUE CLUB CHALLENGE

Last Saturday May 5^th, all clubs played at Cowaramup and again it was a perfect day for bowls. It did not cloud over until mid-way through our last game when the temperature dropped dramatically and jackets came out but it was still a good day for bowls.

We had been informed by Lyn Colmer that she had made an error on the first day with her results. Augusta was missing three points! So they stood on 14 for the second week’s games.

What an exciting Saturday it turned out to be! Both Augusta and Cowaramup went to three tie breakers, we went to two and Margs had two also.

Our first game was against Augusta, one set apiece, tie breaker. Our lead put one just right on the jack, and we were happy with that. Happy until the Augusta lead, Mem Evans, trickled into place and just moved our bowl out. Her bowls stayed and Augusta won the tie and got four points.

They just won the tie breaker against Cowaramup with one shot as well and two against Margs. So they ended the day with 12 points. How easy it would have been just for three points. That is what Cowaramup received. Three points after three tie breakers. They lost every one of them by one shot!

They had us on our tie breaker! They were holding three shots. Then Merv Mott came in and destroyed them!! One shot gave us that four points. Again how easy it would have been just to get one point.

We won both sets against Margs and got five points. They won and lost their tie breakers.

At the end of the day Augusta got their 12 to take them to 26 on the ladder. We got another 10 to take us to 20 and in second place. Cowaramup are third on eight points and Margs hold 6 points.

We travel to Margaret River for our third match with our intent on “taking on Augusta”! Merv cannot make the next two weeks and we have Ian Creagh and Dennis Frost to replace him. Our team has melded well and support each other with high fives and lots of loud, yes loud, cheering!

TENNIS NEWS

Dunsborough Tennis nominated four teams, two Men’s teams and two Ladies’ teams, for the Bunbury Teams Carnival which was played at the Bunbury Tennis Club over the weekend – Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 May. This was in increase of another two teams from last year and indicates the popularity and standard of Dunsborough Tennis. The standard at this tournament always provides a challenge and this year was no different. Additionally, the windy weather on Sunday and the unusual bounce of the grass courts provided additional challenges for all! This tournament also provides the opportunity to watch a very high standard of tennis from the top players both in the region and from Perth. The photo shows some of the participants in the tournament.

Next Saturday 12 May is the Official Opening of the new courts and also the Annual Ye Olde Cowbell Tournament which will be run by Greg Banfield from 1.00 pm. We look forward to seeing all of our members on the courts to enjoy the spirit of this fun event.

BOWLS NEWS

MEN’S BOWLS

MIXED TUESDAY SOCIAL BOWLS

Another perfect day of weather brought out 26 bowlers for a very fun day of bowls. Trevor Palmer bowled extremely well all day to qualify first in the finals, followed by Judy Henderson, Jem Coupar and Daisy Grist.

In the Final, Trevor again bowled exceptionally well to take out the major prize. Well done and we hope to see you again next Tuesday.

THURSDAY BOWLS

Thirty-seven bowlers turned up for the usual Thursday fun on a clear day. Martin Osborne, Ken Hill, and Cliff Dawson of Busselton went home with the meat while Ken Holyoake, Rob Prentice, and Wally Dawson of Busselton were runners-up. Norm Gage, Toby McCarthy, and Johnny Cunneen took the chocolate.

Saturday’s attendance remains poor despite the lovely autumn weather, with just ten bowlers taking part in a mixed peg-draw. Graham Povey, visiting from Mosman Park, won the day, with Gail Barry and Ken Littlefair running second and third.

LEAGUE CLUB CHALLENGE 3

Last Saturday’s games were played at Margaret River and once again the weather was perfect. According to Ian Creagh the weather will be perfect for months to come!

Augusta had a bad day finishing with just one point and that was against our own team. We were taken to a tie breaker with them once again, won it and came away with the four points. Our next game was against Cowaramup and we won both sets to collect the maximum five points. Then we faced Margaret River, the team which was having a great day.

We won our first set quite comfortably but before we could say “ready for the next set” they took a massive jump on us and were 8 zip just on the second end. They won that set so again we went to a tie breaker.

Margs was holding shot and it was left up to Dennis to take charge. He let loose with a brilliant shot moving in quietly and resting on the MR shot. Not to be outdone MR skip let loose also and hit our shot and the jack which moved sideways. Fortunately we had the last bowl and Dennis did another magnificent shot to win the four points for us.

We travel next week to Augusta and five points up on that club. We sit on 33 points, they have 28, MR now has 16 and Cowaramup are on 14. As there are points available each game we need to ensure we get one third of those points to take the first title. It will be difficult and we can be assured that we will have tie breakers. Good luck to our team.

Yoga for over 50’s’ introductory special at Dunsborough and Districts Country Club

– Yoga mats provided !

– Beginners welcome !

Date: Wednesday 30th May

Time: 9:00 am

Cost: $10

Call to register as space is limited: Mandy Lancellas 0475057294

In the words of local Dunsborough resident and yoga instructor Mandy Lancellas ‘I thrive on encouraging those who feel they ‘can’t do yoga’ to become those who can, by exploring the multiple benefits for the body, mind and soul.Gentle Hatha Yoga enables the body and mind to find calm and focus in the present moment. It is through breath awareness that we manage to realign our physical body with the mental and energetic systems. Our main focus is safe and effective alignment, to create awareness, strength and mobility. As we grow older the saying of ‘what we do not use, we loose’ begins to resonate with us more and more and so its vital to keep the body moving in a gentle and safe way, maintaining a healthy range of movement throughout our senior years and reducing the risks of injury.’

Mandy invites anyone who is interested to join her for a gentle and safe yoga practice, suitable for all levels including beginners and people over 50.

Feel free to contact Mandy for any further information.

BOWLS NEWS

MEN’S BOWLS

MIXED TUESDAY SOCIAL BOWLS

Another 26 Bowlers turned up again and the weather presented itself perfectly. We played 3 different games the dyad had a few people bewildered by it albeit we still got through and had a ball.

Gail Barry was the first one through to the final followed by Brian Logan, Chris Jackson and Martin Osborn. There were some excellent shots played by the 4 Bowlers but no-one could get the edge and all finished in a tie.

Well done and hope everyone can come along next Tuesday for another fun day.

THURSDAY BOWLS

Now that IGA in Busselton is closing down, one or two Busselton bowlers now retrieve their meat from Dunsborough IGA! This week they also obtained a Mars bar from the local IGA. Winners at Thursday’s peg-draw were Rolf Groenheide (Busselton),our own Geoff Oddy, and Andre Gil with +25. Runners-up were Tim Sansom and Rob Prentice with +15. Syd Rogers (Busselton) was assisted by Steve Kristiansen in winning the Mars bar.

Only eight bowlers of both genders pitched up on Saturday for a peg-draw, Garry Robinson going home with a small fortune, with Jem Coupar a worthy runner-up.

LEAGUE CHALLENGE FINAL WEEK

The last game for this competition was played under perfect conditions at Augusta. Our team travelled there with five points up on Augusta but knowing that everything would go right down to the wire.

Our first game was in fact against Augusta and we each won a set so it went to a tie breaker. We lost that and went into the next game with two points still up on that club. Our next game was against Margaret River and that team played just superbly. We were stopped going to a tie breaker on the last end of our second set which meant no points for us.

We were so relaxed in the last game and having so much fun against Cowaramup that we got the maximum 5 points.

So the final result boiled down to MR vs Augusta in their tie breaker. Naturally we were barracking for MR as that would mean we would win and indeed they were up one shot with Andrew from Augusta to deliver the last bowl. He had other ideas in his head, he was brought into the team for this specific reason and he did not let the club down and won the tiebreaker and the series for Augusta.

Final results were Augusta on 41 points, Dunsborough 39 with MR and Cowaramup taking the last two places.

This was a great competition, full of fun and relaxation and all teams look forward to doing it all over again. It was suggested that clubs could put two teams in and play two groups with a grand final play-off and this to be discussed by club delegates in June at the League Meeting. We offer Lyn Colmer thanks for organizing this event.

Saturday 26 May Stableford 18 Holes Names 11.45 Hit Off 12.00

IMPORTANT NOTICE **********

Following discussion among the current playing group last Saturday it was moved that :-

“Names and registration times will be revert to 11.45 am with Hit Off at 12.00

for future fixtures for 2018 unless otherwise advertised.”

This decision was based on the weather pattern, daylight and lateness of the day for finishing a round.

(Players who wish to play on the day and find the time awkward for that occasion are to ring Ron Carmody (Captain) 0418 643 368 and advise of their available Hit Off time for that particular day. We will try and match a position for that day.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Coursework: Selective burning has been carried out on the course during last week with some still to be done as the opportunity arises.

Thank you volunteers – Strange we didn’t recover many lost balls at all!

Good Golfing!

In the words of local Dunsborough resident and yoga instructor Mandy Lancellas ‘I thrive on encouraging those who feel they ‘can’t do yoga’ to become those who can, by exploring the multiple benefits for the body, mind and soul. Gentle Hatha Yoga enables the body and mind to find calm and focus in the present moment. It is through breath awareness that we manage to realign our physical body with the mental and energetic systems. Our main focus is safe and effective alignment, to create awareness, strength and mobility.

MEN’S BOWLS

MIXED TUESDAY SOCIAL BOWLS

Another excellent turnout, 29 of us. The weather was on our side once again. We had 4 visitors from the Binningup Bowling Club join us for the days event and 2 of them ended up in the final.

Pete Reading and Graeme Reading from Binningup were in the final with Geoff Oddy and Gail Barry. Very good bowls were played in the final but Graeme was too consistent throughout to win the day. Thanks everyone for participating and hope to see you all next week.

THURSDAY BOWLS

Numbers are starting to dwindle as winter draws on, with just 26 bowlers last Thursday to enjoy the peg-draw. Butch Sharpe bowled brilliantly and shared the meat with Norm Gage while Ken Hill and Steve Byrne were only one shot behind on the day. Wendell Hoover and Bill Hitsert took the Mars Bar.

Saturday’s Mixed bowls was rained off this week.

LEAGUE CHALLENGE FINAL WEEK

Check this out! Have received a congratulations from Bowls WA for running the event. Thanks to Wendall/Janice for the photo. This article was on the Bowls WA website.

Leeuwin League Club Challenge

Augusta Win Leeuwin Challenge In Thriller Finish

The Augusta club has won the inaugural Leeuwin League Club Challenge in a thriller finish to the four week competition. Based on the proposed Bowls WA Club Challenge which was rejected by the Perth metropolitan clubs in favour of the extended pennant season, the Leeuwin League Committee decided to run the competition at the end of the traditional bowls season.

Over four Saturday afternoons a mixed team of triples from each of the participating clubs (Augusta, Cowaramup, Dunsborough and Margaret River) played each other in a 3 game round robin. The shortened version of the game included a one hour time limit, two 5 set ends with a one end tie-break and power plays. Clubs were able to select different players for each game with most using a rotation of 4 or 5 players each week.

Week 1 played at Dunsborough saw Augusta finish with a total of 14 of the 15 points available to them with Dunsborough 10 points. Week 2, played at Cowaramup, Augusta again finished strongly with 12 points and Dunsborough 10. Week 3, played at Margaret River, Augusta managed only 2 points and Dunsborough who were second on the ladder 13 points, Margaret River with a change of personnel had a form reversal gaining 10 points. The ladder after round 3 – Dunsborough 33, Augusta 28, Margaret River 16 and Cowaramup 13.

Week 4, played at Augusta, set the scene for an interesting finish with both Augusta and Dunsborough able to win overall. The first round played between both these teams saw them win a set each before Augusta was able to win the tie-break. Round 2 and Margaret River, again with a slight change in players and a point to prove, managed to beat Dunsborough in straight sets. The ladder at this stage – Augusta 37 points, Dunsborough 34. Round 3 Dunsborough beat Cowaramup in straight sets gaining the valuable 5 points, while Augusta struggled against Margaret River only just winning the first set. However due to some slow play and mismanagement of their power plays, only 4 of the 5 ends was completed in set 2 which Margaret River won. Dunsborough could only look on as the tiebreak was played. With Margaret River holding shots the last bowl was played by Augusta skipper Andrew Drayton who managed to draw close winning the measure and the prize money for the club. Final standings Augusta 41 +19, Dunsborough 39 +19, Margaret River 26 and Cowaramup 14.

All players enjoyed the format of the game in a competitive but relaxed environment and hope to see it in the League fixtures next season.

Wow ! What a week of weather concerns affecting most of us in some way or the other. A small field only for last Saturday so we took the opportunity to checkout the course, make some notes of course rehab work necessary and try and schedule this in to urgent work to be done.

Today , Monday, I can say that a great effort has been made by those available to assist with drain cleaning, fairway run off cleanup, removal of some fairway limbs and debris. Barry J, on the tractor, Mike Brown on the small excavator, Stephen on the rake and truck as was Doug Mac, and Dot and Beth on the rake, while Ron circulated with them all. Brian also checked to see that things were on the go.

Following our successful prescribed burn with help from Barry J,Ken, Mark ,Arnold, Barry G, Ian Potts , Paul Smith ,Clive ,Mal W ,as well , prior to the storm, the Golf Section can tick a few boxes for effort and endeavour.

My apologies if I’ve missed anyone out.

Tennis and Cycling have also been on the job in their particular areas and it does credit to you all, as Members of the DDCC .

Now that you have shared the physical workout, a more relaxed approach to your sport in the next few days should be part of your reward.

Part of this reward is the cameradie that becomes infectious among all volunteers. Enjoy the moment.

Well done and appreciation to you all .

CYCLE NEWS

This weekend’s Down South MTB Festival was a great success with more than 500 people lapping up the high-octane action during the 5^th running of this mountain biking festival.

Held at the Dunsborough & Districts Country Club and Margaret River ‘The Pines’ Forest the event – took place on Saturday and Sunday – attracted roughly double the amount of competitors and spectators it did last year.

Building on previous year’s success, the 2018 version featured the latest round of the West Australian Mountain Bikers Association Cross Country State Series with most of WA’s top cross country mountain bikers competing for points and State Round top honours.

This year’s challenging 7.5km cross country course was designed by local ‘Bike Shed Dunsborough’ owner Lee Scurlock and ‘Cape Mountain Bikers’ president Andrew Spencer-Wright. Feedback from the riders suggested they were very impressed with the high standards of the trail selection and presentation of the entire course around the Dunsborough MTB Skills Development Park and within Meelup Zone6.

Local legend Rohan Brown took out top honours in the Male A Grade category, with Dunsborough Cycle Club’s Jess Reynolds taking out the win in Female B Grade category.

There was plenty of other bike-related activities for people of all ages ranging from the bike relay race events for adults and non-competitive races for children Under13. We had a record total number of 103 kids participate in the Under13 and Under9 races

Other biking action included basic bike skills coaching, a bunny-hop competition, pump track challenge, wheelie competitions and dirt jumps display. Dunsborough mountain biking heroes Mitch Monotti won the bunny hop comp and Harry Ainsworth won the Dirt Jump Styles.

The event organising crew was delighted with this years festival’s success, with the most pleasing thing being the family-orientated atmosphere and to see the sea of a smiling faces.

“We’d like to thank everyone who came along and those that contributed. Having over 500 people participate says a lot about how much the people value the event and the respect they have for the trails in the south west area. Even though there were hundreds of people competing or spectating, the entire area was left almost completely clean – we hardly had to pick up a single piece of litter.

Thank you to all who came, it was a great weekend of mountain biking and meeting fun people. Well done to all riders for a fantastic weekend of fast racing under blue skies, and congratulations to our winners! We hope you had a blast!

A special thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, to our volunteers, to Bike Shed Dunsborough and the City of Busselton our valued sponsors, and to all the friends, family members and support crews of the club, without you an event like this just doesn’t happen.

‘Yoga for over 50’s’ at Dunsborough and Districts Country Club for ladies AND gentlemen !!

– Beginners welcome !

In the words of local Dunsborough resident and yoga instructor Mandy Lancellas ‘I thrive on encouraging those who feel they ‘can’t do yoga’ to become those who can, by exploring the multiple benefits for the body, mind and soul. Gentle Hatha Yoga enables the body and mind to find calm and focus in the present moment. It is through breath awareness that we manage to realign our physical body with the mental and energetic systems. Our main focus is safe and effective alignment, to create awareness, strength and mobility. As we grow older the saying of ‘what we do not use, we loose’ begins to resonate with us more and more and so its vital to keep the body moving in a gentle and safe way, maintaining a healthy range of movement throughout our senior years and reducing the risks of injury.’

Mandy invites anyone who is interested to join this gentle and safe yoga practice, suitable for all levels including beginners and people over 50.

Date: Wednesdays

Time: 9:00 am

Venue: Dunsborough and Districts Country Club

Cost: $15

* Please bring a blanket for relaxation (as well as your own yoga mat if you have one).

Tuesday Mixed Social Bowls

Well we finally got a game in. We have been rained out for 3 out of the last 4 weeks before this game so very good to get together again.

We had a small field of 11 as the weather was still dicey but we had a ball. Maureen Hines, Geoff Oddy and Brian Logan played well all day to reach the final. No one could break clear in the final so they all ended up in adraw.

Hope to see everyone along again this Tuesday.

Thursday

27 hardy bowlers took to the carpets last week on a chilly but clear-skyed day.

Steve Kristiansen partnered Rob Prentice to take the meat, ahead of Butch Sharpe and Ken Hill in second place.

John Halden’s and Gary Robinson’s minds were so focused on moving houses that they won the Mars bars.

Saturday

Just 16 stalwarts filled four rinks at the weekend to play mixed bowls.

Ladies shared the glory, when Erica Littlefair partnered Bill Hitsert to win the day, just pipping Christine Bowden (Fremantle) and Trevor Palmer by one shot, in second place.

*********************************

CROQUET NEWS

Recently Brian Uren was invited to play croquet at the Mt Lawley Croquet Club in a state competition for up and coming rising stars in croquet.

There were many new players who had only been playing croquet for a short while, playing against state players of high caliber. This was to give newcomers a chance to hone their skills and learn new strategies

Brian played really well and more than held his own. There were a few comments from senior players that Brian hardly missed long shots. Max Kewish and Caryll Marshall attended both days to support and encourage Brian. Well done Brian. I hope this will encourage player’s to start going to other clubs to watch and learn new tricky ways of beating your opponent.

We have recently said a sad goodbye to two casual players who are tripping around Australia and stayed a few months with Bev Clarke at Wonky Windmill. Peter and Jo were warmly welcomed by all croquet members. We wish them all the best and hope to see them again one day back at the club playing croquet.

CROQUET NEWS

On Friday night the Jackpot of $1000.00 was won by a croquet player Jacqueline B. Congratulations Jacqueline, we were all excited for you. Another 2 players won $20.00 each, Don and Caryll. Seems the croquet table was very lucky. Let’s hope this luck continues on to other players. A special thanks to Karen who goes around to the members selling and promoting the $100.00 club each week.

Also to Frances who works tirelessly on Friday evenings, attending to tables and the members needs. Frances does this without taking a cent for herself. The money she earns is donated to the croquet club. This is a very selfless act and we applaud Frances for this.

The dreaded flu had attacked some of our cherished players. Let’s hope you all get well soon and are back on court. We miss you on court and at drinkie times.

If any Country Club member would like to come along and try out croquet, our playing times are Wed and Fri afternoons between 2-5pm. Equipment available. You will be very welcome.

So because not much else to say. Here is my cartoon for the week. This is very appropriate for the present weather.

CROQUET NEWS

Croquet players never stop for the weather as this photo shows. We must love the game to play in the worst conditions possible.

Brian Uren and his merry gang have been working on putting a back cover on the croquet shelter to help keep the players dry and keep the winds out. Thank you to Jim’s First for the donation of the frame. It looks great. Brian has also built shelving for our shed and now the shed looks so much tidier. Brian you are a gem.

This week there are huge accolades going to the members of the Country Club who on Friday evening donated their spare cash to a very worthy lady Jo, who was employed at the club and operated the coffee machine in the mornings and the till at meal functions for Sarah and Cal. Jo is very unwell and we wish her a speedy recovery. This money is being passed on to Jo to assist her while not working.

Paying it Forward.

There was also a Christmas in July raffle, which was organised by the Croquet Club, in particular Barbara Miller. This was won by Mr. & Mrs. Rod Winchcombe, who at the end of the evening so graciously donated the hamper back to the croquet club,. We then donated this lovely hamper onto Jo with their permission. There are so many kind and wonderful people in the club and we thank you sincerely..

Croquet News 8.6.18

There were fewer players on the courts this week, mainly due to the weather.

Many players are or have taken off on overseas holidays. We wish them a great holiday and come back safely from your travels. Pictures please people so we can be envious of you travelling to warmer climates than we have here at the moment.

Courts have been modified due to the weather with a State tournament in A/C coming up in September. This is so they can repair and be in good condition for the event.

We had another very good turnout for the weather conditions – 22 keen bowlers and we had a ball. Some excellent bowls played and some good fun. Four players made it through to the final with Toby McCarthy the first to qualify followed by Geoff Oddy, Don Henderson and John Halden. There was some excellent bowls played in the 4 end final but no one was able to grab the lead so it ended in a draw.

Well done guys and we hope to see you all again next Tuesday.

July 31st 2018

We had another enjoyable day of fun bowls and 20 players attended. The weather tested us a few times but we made it through again. There was a great amount of laughter and banter amongst the groups playing which makes for a very enjoyable day. Butch Sharpe, Sharon Sharpe, Brian Logan and Barb Moylan were fortunate enough to make it through to the final but no one gained the upper hand so it ended in a draw once again. Thanks everyone for coming along and hope to see you next Tuesday.

CROQUET NEWS

Comic of the Week

The weather is improving and we had a good turnout on Friday.

Some players are still absent on holidays, hopefully enjoying themselves.

The green team are still working on the grounds, getting ready for the upcoming tournament in A/C. We appreciate the effort that is put into this area.

Keep on hooping….

MEN’S BOWLS

Thursday

A handful of crazy, intrepid bowlers weathered a gale force wind and a splash of rain. Young Tom Ferguson and his henchman Brian Logan triumphed over all opponents to return home overloaded with cash instead of the usual meat pack.

Saturday

Even fewer bowlers turned up on a much kinder day and the number included just one lady, Jem Coupar, and an ambidextrous gentleman, who bowled outstanding with his left arm! Dennis Frost. Ian Creagh and Norm Gage won the sheep station.

Locker keys are now available to those who would like to possess a locker in the men’s changing room. Please approach the Secretary when he is available.

A Short resume should accompany all nominations.

The order of the meeting shall be as set out in the Rules of Association.

ROB PRENTICE

PRESIDENT.

Nominations are invited to fill FIVE vacancies by the expiration of the term of office of the following persons.

Prentice, R. Carmody and K. McCormick and resignation of J. Reynolds and C. Parkinson

Each section should nominate an actively involved member from their section for election to the Management Committee

**********************************

October and the Club’s Annual General Meeting is approaching so it is time to think about nominating for a position on the Management Committee.

This year we have five (5) positions to fill therefore we would encourage all Members to consider nominating. For each of the sporting sections it is important to nominate one of your members for a position so as to have a strong voice in the management as well as a representative for the interests of that sport.

The Club has an important social and community role within Dunsborough. By becoming a member of the Management Committee one can:

contribute to enhancing this service,
put your ideas on the table about the running of our Club,
hear firsthand what the other sections are planning and contribute your thoughts,
get satisfaction from progress and good outcomes, and
of course feeling more involved generally.

As always, volunteering in any worthwhile cause gives personal satisfaction to those involved.

Our Club holds a very important place in this community and to all our members. It needs to be managed in a very professional manner by a cross section of members. Also, a healthy situation exists when these Committee members change over on a regular basis to maintain fresh ideas and energy.

The last two years has seen many new projects put in place, new Bowling Greens, new Tennis courts, upgrade of our Golf course, improvements to the Bike skills course, Croquet is booming, new membership options, Resident Chef Callan and his crew, children’s playground, new sound system and solar panels. Our Club sponsorship is also expanding with a number of new sponsors coming on board.

We envisage the future being as progressive, rewarding and exciting for the Club. New ideas and energy are very important in achieving this vibrancy.

Please give strong consideration to nominating. Nomination will be called for during August.

Yoga is back ON ! from next Wednesday, 29th August

‘Yoga for over 50’s’ at Dunsborough and Districts Country Club for ladies AND gentlemen !!

– Beginners welcome !

In the words of local Dunsborough resident and yoga instructor Mandy Lancellas ‘I thrive on encouraging those who feel they ‘can’t do yoga’ to become those who can, by exploring the multiple benefits for the body, mind and soul. Gentle Hatha Yoga enables the body and mind to find calm and focus in the present moment. It is through breath awareness that we manage to realign our physical body with the mental and energetic systems. Our main focus is safe and effective alignment, to create awareness, strength and mobility. As we grow older the saying of ‘what we do not use, we loose’ begins to resonate with us more and more and so its vital to keep the body moving in a gentle and safe way, maintaining a healthy range of movement throughout our senior years and reducing the risks of injury.’

Mandy invites anyone who is interested to join this gentle and safe yoga practice, suitable for all levels including beginners and people over 50.

Date: Wednesdays

Time: 9:00 am

Venue: Dunsborough and Districts Country Club

Cost: $15

* Please bring a blanket for relaxation (as well as your own yoga mat if you have one).

MEN’S BOWLS

Thursday

35 bowlers took part in a peg-draw on a day that began with an overcast sky, which cleared later to reveal some sun.

Winners on the day were Gary Bell, partnered by George Reynolds from Busselton.

ButchSharpe and Bill Pearce were worthy runners-up.

Roger Baudain needed the Doc to ensure that they won the Mars bar, all the games being so close that they did so with just -3 shots.

Saturday

Surprisingly few bowlers turned up on a footy-free day.

Maureen Hines won a small fortune, while Lorraine Bell, bowling with her left hand (the right in a sling) and Norm Gage were runners-up.

Please note that empty lockers are now available in the men’s changing room for anyone requiring one. Please approach the Secretary in this regard.

CROQUET

Spring is finally here but weather wise still not too good.

Despite this we have had good turn ups at croquet, which is fantastic and we manage to play between the showers and cold.

Last week we said farewell to one of our dear members. Bob Hay passed away after being unwell for some time. When Bob was well enough he would come and watch croquet, encouraging players and have a good laugh. We will miss your smiling face around the club. R.I.P. Bob.

For the next couple of weeks I will be absent from croquet. (Great you all said) I am off to Bali with family. Helen B will collect and bank the green fee money with the assistance of Brian and Max. I know the golf croquet players all work together so I am sure you all will share the duties.

On weekend of 15^th and 16^th September, Dunsborough Club will be hosting the Association Croquet State Division 3 singles Championship. This is organised by Vaile, so if she needs any assistance, if possible can some of the golf players’ help her out. Thank you. There will be a few of our players playing and we wish them well. If players want to go along and support our players, you would be very welcome.

Oops wrong game.

Yoga is back ON ! from next Wednesday, 29th August

‘Yoga for over 50’s’ at Dunsborough and Districts Country Club for ladies AND gentlemen !!

– Beginners welcome !

In the words of local Dunsborough resident and yoga instructor Mandy Lancellas ‘I thrive on encouraging those who feel they ‘can’t do yoga’ to become those who can, by exploring the multiple benefits for the body, mind and soul. Gentle Hatha Yoga enables the body and mind to find calm and focus in the present moment. It is through breath awareness that we manage to realign our physical body with the mental and energetic systems. Our main focus is safe and effective alignment, to create awareness, strength and mobility. As we grow older the saying of ‘what we do not use, we loose’ begins to resonate with us more and more and so its vital to keep the body moving in a gentle and safe way, maintaining a healthy range of movement throughout our senior years and reducing the risks of injury.’

Mandy invites anyone who is interested to join this gentle and safe yoga practice, suitable for all levels including beginners and people over 50.

Date: Wednesdays

Time: 9:00 am

Venue: Dunsborough and Districts Country Club

Cost: $15

* Please bring a blanket for relaxation (as well as your own yoga mat if you have one).

* Yoga mats available for hire $3

For any queries (or to book a yoga mat) please call Mandy Lancellas 047 505 7294

MEN’S BOWLS

Tuesday Mixed Social Bowls

We had another excellent day again with 21 Participants enjoying each others company. We played 3 games of Squash which we normally do with different opposition in each game. The four to reach the final were Butch Sharpe, Geoff Oddy, Graeme Winter and Kay Upton.

No one gained the upper hand in the final so it all ended in a draw again.

Thanks everyone for coming along and will see you all again next Tuesday.

Thursday

35 players ignored the weather forecast and turned out last week. Wally Dawson and Hans Queckfelt won the meat with 2 wins + 23, just a shot ahead of Graeme Winter and Geoff Benn. Jim Holroyd, Wendell Hoover and Merv Mott enjoyed the chocolate.

Saturday

Just twelve keen bowlers, muffled up against the cold, fought it out on Saturday with the ambidextrous genius Dennis Frost winning the day. Busselton’s, Lesley Robinson, and Liz Wilson, now of Dunsborough, in joint second place.

Spare lockers in the men’s changing room are now available. Please approach the secretary if interested.
