Presidents Welcome address Nov 2014
Presidents Welcome Address:
Nov 8th 2014 .
Good Morning Everyone.
Welcome to the fall AGM for the
PHLBC.
It’s hard to believe that yet another year is ended. I feel that, in general, we had a successful
year. The open tournaments were well
attended thanks as always to Ned. It was
however a bid disheartening to see the lack of interest in the in club
tournaments. We should all make a
conscious effort to attend these events.
A lot of work goes into organizing and running these tournaments and they
form an important element in the function of the club. What a great opportunity for brand new
members to enter into a more competitive form of lawn bowling. In addition one of the important factors of
being a member of a club is interact with all members, what better way than to
have a day of enjoyable competition.
Perhaps we should all take some time over the winter to come up with
some innovative ways to promote better attendance.
We had a good year for the greens. The rolling and maintenance regimen had a
positive effect on the grass and it was a treat not to have to contend with the
worms. Thank you to John and all of the
people that helped in the rolling, grass removal and Verdi-cutting. I think we all are aware that without decent
greens we just cannot operate, so this is such an important factor in our club
success.
I don’t know how many of you have been down to the club of
late, but the improvements are coming along great. In addition I understand
that the raccoon proofing has been completed which will give us some piece of
mind over the winter. A little later in
the meeting I will ask Glenn Gard to give us a
bit of an update. I think you will all
be very surprised and pleased when you see the outcome.
We have been pressing the town this year for an alternative
location. One in which we do not have
the steep stairs, the wet greens or the lack of parking. During the meeting I will fill you in a bit
more on that situation but be assured that we will continue to approach the
town on the matter. In addition Stan,
whom I heard from only a couple from only a couple of days ago, is continuing to work on any grants we may be
eligible for as well as looking for any other funding that might not be so
obvious.
In closing, I would like to thank all of the members that
exhibited that little bit of extra effort to help the functioning of the
club. I could be baking for the
kitchen, helping with the greens, setting up for tournaments, tending to the gardens, and the list goes on,
but all of those small things add up to a successful club. So I say again Thank
You.
