Junior Development Squad - Sunday 4th May 2008

Please be reminded that the Group 13 Junior Development Squad are using the club facilities, in particular the synthetic green from 9.30am - 11.30am this coming Sunday morning.

This group has a monthly coaching clinic at different clubs throughout the group and this month the Upwey-Tecoma Bowls Club offered the use of the synthetic as many grass greens are closing.

Therefore NO other bowling will be able to be conducted until the Junior Development Squad clinic finishes at 11.30am. I would also appreciate a couple of volunteers to cook a BBQ for the juniors on
completion of their clinic. Volunteers will be required from 11am for approximately 1 hour. Please let the Secretary know ASAP by return email or phone.
