Our new shirts have arrived and don’t they look terrific!

Thank you to Brothers Leagues Club Ipswich for your contribution.  The support you give to your kindred clubs is amazing and is appreciated.

We must also thank the Uniform Committee for organising and distributing the new shirts.  We wear them with pride!

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

CLUB NEWS – MARCH 2024

 Hi Everyone

We have a number of new members to Ipswich Bowls Club.  Welcome, and we hope you enjoy your time with us.

The competitions are well under way.  Congratulations to all players participating in the Q7’s and SuperBowl.  You are all doing a great job in representing our Club.  A special thank you to the Umpires who give up their time every weekend to umpire our home games.  Thank you to our Providor and helpers for the delicious salad rolls after the game.  Word has got out! The players from Broadbeach were so looking forward to lunch, apparently they had heard about our salad rolls.  Also thank you to the managers and selectors for the job that you do.  The green keepers make sure the greens are in top condition.  Thank you to those who open up early and run the bar for the day as well as the many other jobs that go along with it.  Where would we be without our wonderful volunteers, thank you all.

Ipswich Bowls Club is hosting (in partnership with another local club) the Men’s District Singles in April.  It is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our great club and I thank those who have put their hand up to be involved.  If you want to watch some quality bowls come along.  Better still, why not enter.  Nominations are taken via BowlsLink (and you don’t have to travel far).

New shirts have arrived and don’t they look spectacular.  We have new shirts in stock and they sell for $50. Old Club shirts that are out of date but can be worn for social play are available for $25.  Do you have a Club jacket?  Jackets sell at a reduced price of $35.  Please see the Uniform Committee if you would like to purchase these items.

Don’t forget our special event (Easter Cup) Saturday 30th March.  There is a sheet at the Club for you to add your teams.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors. Sponsors are listed on our website.  They support us, so please support them.

Kind regards

Deb Green

Ipswich Bowls Club recently applied for and received a grant of $1672 for modifications to the shade covers at the eastern end of the bottom green. For some time members have had difficulties with these shades due to the retraction mechanism. The shades have now been modified to reduce the risk of injury to members. Ipswich Bowls Club acknowledges the assistance provided by Brothers Leagues Club through the Kindred Club grant received.

Ipswich Bowls Club would like to acknowledge the support of Ipswich City Council in providing grant funding under the COVID-19 Ipswich Community Repair and Replacement Fund.  The window tint upstairs has been completed and we thank council for the contribution towards this project.
