 *** General YDBC News ***

*** REPEAT *** Tuesday the YDBC wants all members & friends to join us @ 4 for 4:30 pm for a friendly game of L0TT0 ($$$) Bowls.

0n the noticeboard in the club Richard ‘The~0rganiser’ Heslop informs all there’s a list, please put your names down and join us for fun afternoon.

Now if you don’t know how to play, the club can lend you a set of bowls and coaching is available. Now no excuses just turn up and we’ll do the rest. YDBC Tuesday L0TT0 2x4x2 mixed gender.

Whilst we’ve not won a BIG prize YET we remain optimistic

S0 that’s another reason you should all join US for a couple hours each Tuesday. You never know we could win this week!

The following is my opinion and not of YDBC!  The heat caused cancellation!

Come on Bowls WA you can do better with the recent unbelievable hot weather which is and was predicted a week before games are due to be played, yet Bowls WA did not or could not make a decision to re-fixturing the games, to play at night, most clubs have lighting, so this is an alternative, the revenue lost by all clubs is considerable.

This must be addressed asap.

I’m not blaming them for the heat just asking them to look at the BIG picture.

Talking from personal experience, just before Christmas I collapsed playing at Belmont on a synthetic surface and was conveyed from Belmont in a St John’s Ambulance.to RPH around 3 pm & was discharged at 11:30pm. An experience I never want to have again.

I would just like to add that Ambulance and hospital staff were excellent.

It was nice to see the story in The West newspaper and nice photo of club stall-wort’s Terry Needs & John “The Punter” Henderson, their comments were a valued contribution to the proposed ‘Right to Disconnect” Laws.

***  VALE ***

Our club recently lost 2 wonderful members, Len ‘Johno’ Johnson and Betty Lyle the mother of Peter.

Betty’s funeral will be held at Pinnaroo cemetery this Thursday 15th @ 11am.    0ur thoughts and prayers to the families.

Thank You, Regards  PP Con Migro
