INDUCTION PACK
The Club has produced a 16 page Induction Pack designed to tell new members all they need to know about the club etc. Any existing member who would like a copy is welcome to obtain one from the Secretary/Treasurer
Promotional Brochures
The club has two promotional coloured brochures printed; one designed for new members and one designed to promote and sell our casual playing facilities. The catchwords for both brochures are - “ Bowls Mount Maunganui – Where the Community Comes to Play.”
Entries for Tuesday/Friday Club Days:
There has been some confusion regarding the process for entering names for Club Days. It has now been decided that members must telephone the club between 10.00am and 11.30am on Tuesdays & Fridays to enter for Club Day play.
Club Championship Playing Format:
Following the unanimous view expressed at the AGM it has been confirmed that all championship play in 2011/12 will be conducted under the two life system. However it has also been decided that for the club pairs this season, rounds subsequent to the first day’s play will be played on a “by arrangement” basis with each round having to be completed by a nominated date. Obviously if this is a success it could be extended to other events in the following season.
Club Championships – Plural Membership:
Bowls New Zealand now permits plural membership giving players the ability to play in championships in as many clubs as they wish. It is possible therefore that the same team could win a championship at more than one club but obviously that team could represent only one club in the Centre Champion of Champions event. Accordingly it has been decided that Bowls Mount Maunganui will make it a condition of entry to all championships that the winning individual/team will undertake to represent the Club in the Centre event should it win the club title. Failure to fulfil the undertaking would result in the club title being forfeited. The Club’s Regulation 1 – Rules & Regulations for Championship Play – will be amended.
Club Captains’ Responsibilities:
No specific job description will be prepared but the club captains are expected to “Enhance the fellowship, culture and smooth running of the club by providing the ‘people linkage’ between club members and the Board. Be the approachable friendly face of the Club.”
Caps for Canterbury:
These are now available for those that ordered them.
