Important Update – Resumption of Club Face to Face Meetings

I’m pleased to announce the club will resume face to face meetings commencing on Wednesday 13th April, starting at 7.00pm in the upstairs room at the Valentine Bowling Club (VBC). These meetings will continue on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at VBC whilst renovations are continuing at Belmont 16s. Our April and May meetings will have individuals agendas and our normal print competitions will recommence at the June meeting. We anticipate that given the disruption over the last two years that entries in print competitions will take a while to ramp up to what we were seeing prior to Covid. The draft agenda for the April meeting follows and will be confirmed by post on the club web site closer to the meeting:

  • Presidents Update
  • March Digital results
  • Club Website – Colin Woods will discuss recent changes to the website and answer your questions. I  have asked Colin to focus on outlining the capabilities and features of the website with a focus for people new to the club.
  • Coffee and tea break
  • Image Evaluation Forum. This will be similar to on-line sessions. A facilitated forum style discussion on images uploaded to the club website prior to the meeting

In relation to meeting protocols the club will continue to follow the N.S.W. Health guidelines in place at the time. Please don’t come to the meeting if you are feeling unwell. Wear a face mask if you wish and maintain social distancing recommendations. The room we are meeting in is spacious and seating will be well spaced. 

Looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting.
