  Hello Dolphins

There has been a lot going on around the club lately!

Firstly, Joondalup Bowling Club was showcased to Australia at the recent National Bowls Championships! To all involved congratulations and thank you for making the event so successful. It has been non-stop accolades from all involved from officials at Bowls Aus. through to competitors and spectators. JBC has been put on the bowls world map! The club will formally acknowledge the contribution of members over the coming week.

Next, JBC has now joined the ranks of Premier League clubs having just played our first ever game. Numbered caps were presented to the first team and will continue to be presented to players representing JBC in PL. Thanks to Eugene and Keypointe for the support with the hats. Unfortunately, the result didn’t go our way but we now know what is expected at this level. It was a mixed bag of results throughout the week in other games with some great victories and a few losses. Next week will be better I am sure. To all representing the club in pennants, thank you for efforts. Keep practicing and strive to get better.

Thanks as always to all of volunteers who enable club to keep improving. From our hardworking management committee to the Bingo crew with the set up team to the helpers, callers, money folk and the clean up team. Big thanks. 

From the team of helpers who put time and effort (and a fair degree of sweat) into the preparation of our greens. They are always fantastic to bowl on! We are very lucky.

To the selectors – it is a thankless job and we know you are making decisions with, what you believe, are the best interests of the club in mind. If you are a player and you are not happy with your selection, you have every right to question the selectors. But, please, do it the right way. It helps nothing if you behave like a child and try to hold the club to ransom by threatening to leave, or not play when you do not get your own way. The club will not tolerate any abuse or mistreatment of selectors or any other member as there is no room in our club for this behaviour. Be club focussed, ask in the right way and then go and play well to prove your point!

Thanks to all others who just do things that are often not noticed by many. I can assure you that I notice because without you doing what you do, problems arise and if I, as Club President, am not dealing with problems, I know all of these little things are just being done. I am not very busy at the moment because of you, so please keep doing what you do.

It has been great to see our new shirts on display since their arrival. They were a huge hit during the recent Nationals and many were taken home to be worn on the other side of the country. We are even getting online orders for them. There may need to be a new position created as ‘merchandise officer’ if things keep going the way they are! If interested, let me know!

Joondalup Bowling Club- Home of the Mighty Dolphins is continuing to grow into the power club we deserve and strive to be. This only happens through the efforts and performance of its members. That is YOU!

 Keep doing what you are doing and always try to better - A better player, a better club person and a better human!

Cheers

Chris

JBC President
