Only 3 games left prior to the finals. As discussed at the recent Player Information Night” the selectors have restrictions on which players they are able to place in certain sides. If you have any queries please make contact with them. Please ensure that you practice with your team at every opportunity. To comply with recent law changes please check your bowls to ensure that the bias (small ring) does not cover the World Bowls or serial number stamp. If it needs changing please make contact with your side manager for a set of new rings. Australian Open The Australian Open has moved to the Gold Coast and is taking place from June `13 to 25 2015. Due to the change from knockout to progression to sectional encounters players who enter the three disciplines of singles, pairs and four will be assured of seven matches over six days. The removal of state-based qualifying has transformed the competition to a true "Open" affair with all participants afforded entry into the main draw to battle it out for a slice of the $140,000 prize money and a change at a coveted National title. For more information contact Bowls Australia [email protected] Entries are now open, visit australianopen.bowlsaustralia.com.au For Club members who may be heading north - various entry forms and details of Winter Bowls Carnivals in Queensland during our Melbourne Winter are now in the white folder on the bench below the Bowls Notice Boards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------23/01/15 New Rules Bowls Victoria has received many calls and emails over the past couple of weeks since the adoption of changes to the Laws of the Sport of Bowls in respect of who should now sign the scorecard. The SECOND now signs the card at the completion of the game as they are the person who has kept the score and checked it with their opponent. The Skip delegates all the roles and responsibilities of the scorecard to the SECOND in fours. However, In Singles; the marker is responsible for keeping, completing and dealing with the card In Pairs; the skip of each team In Triples; the skip of each team In Fours; the second of each team Mulgrave Country Club Breaking News Page 2 Rings: The small ring on the bias side may no longer cover the World Bowls Stamp or the Serial Number of the Bowl. Players must now ensure that if their discs cover either of these they need to change them. Your choices are: 1) just use the dot to cover the small engraving, 2) use the small ring if it’s not covering the WB Stamp or the serial number or, 3) you can use both the small ring and the dot. You cannot cut or trim the small ring – you either have it on the bowl in its original size or you remove it. Teams and Sides may have a mixture of the configurations, BUT they must be from the same set of rings. Law 52.1.8 cover these issues: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------18/01/15 ERBR Ladies Singles Congratulations to Evelyn Martin for winning the final of the ERBR ladies singles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------15/01/15 Photo Gallery The pictorial history of the "Bowls Section" has achieved a significant milestone with over 500,000 views since the Photo Gallery was established in 2008 Click on the following link to visit the Photo Gallery now https://www.flickr.com/photos/bowlsbanter/ Don’t forget to submit any interesting photos you may have (of Mulgrave Country Club bowlers) to John Leitch via e-mail [email protected] Photos can extend beyond the realms of actual bowling i.e. interesting photos of significant life events outside of bowls -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ladies Pairs Final Congratulations to Jan Delaney and Gordana Baric on winning the Club Ladies Pairs championship today.

The Team App announced by Shane McCluskey at the AGM earlier this year has now been set up to link to team selection lists for each Pennant competition, as well as Breaking News. It is intended to send messages via Team App whenever any of these documents is updated so that you can be immediately informed of changes and events. The message function will also be used to send messages for such events as green closures due to inclement weather. Quite a few members have already signed up, and the more that do the better we can keep members informed. Full details can be found on the following link: Mulgrave Country Club Bowls Section App David West. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saturday Pennant Keeping in contact with all bowlers in a team is very important. Especially when sides are playing away we ask that all skips liaise with their team to ensure that all the bowlers are available and able to get to the venue. If bowlers are in doubt and have not heard from their skip they should initiate contact. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------26/9/2014 Bowls Website I hope you are enjoying the new format for the Bowls website, particularly those who access it on tablet computers or smart phones.
