JOHANNESBURG BOWLS ASSOCIATION TECHNICAL OFFICIALS STANDING COMMITTEE

Johannesburg Bowls Association TOSC Annual report 2009-2010

1. Umpires courses

So far we had a very successful umpire’s course at Ridge Park bowling club, we qualified 10 markers, and 7 Technical officials level 1 and one Technical official level 2.

Further we have another course planned to start on the 14th August 2010 at Rhodes Park Bowling club, Entries are going well and it promises to be another successful course.

2. Changes to the committee.

Bernard Greenberg has resigned as convenor but could successfully be convinced to stay on as a member so that we can still tap into his unlimited knowledge, Thanks Bernard for your years of service as convenor and your continued support in making our TOSC as successful as it is.

Dirk Malomgré has taken over as convenor.

We also welcomed Johan Nel from Rhodes Park bowling club onto our committee. Johan a warm welcome and hope you enjoy it.

We unfortunately also had to record the resignation of Jill Busschau, Jill thanks for all the hard work on the committee and you will be missed, also thanks that I can still count on your support in assisting me with the new job on hand. It is really appreciated.

Dennis Robinson decided to retire from our committee, Dennis also thanks for all the hard work on the committee and all go well.

3. Competitions

This season we were once again privileged to assist with marking and umpiring at the BSA Masters in Pretoria, this was a fantastic opportunity to enjoy outstanding bowls.

We also took care of the semi finals and finals of all the JBA competitions.

Thanks to everybody that dedicated their time as a marker or umpire to the district and the game of bowls, we do appreciate your support and continued efforts

JOHANNESBURG BOWLS ASSOCIATION COACHES STANDING COMMITTEE

2010 has been a year of highs and disappointments. We completed the mandatory refresher courses, but were disappointed that large numbers of coaches did not avail themselves of the opportunity. To regain their qualification, they will have to attend a complete Club Coach Course in future. The U19 and U25 Squad training at the beginning of the year paid off in April with the Girls U25 team leav-ing the Inter District with Gold medals. The U25 boy’s teams played well but could not get the consistency that is required to win medals. Hopefully with the next Inter District tournament being in July 2011, they will have ample time to play together.With the change of BSA Talent Identification programme, the Feeder Squad did not get off the ground at all but hopefully in the new season we will be flooded with 20/20 assessments and arrange assessment dates. We are offering coaching and 20/20 assessments to groups of players but if there are any people who are interested they must contact any of the Coaches Standing Committee to put their name down.Coaching at club is active with Clinics and Development programmes being enthusiastically supported. Well done to all people who have been involved in these initiatives. If you need any assistance, please contact me.The committee would like to wish the incoming Executive well for the next season.

Thank youSue Upton (Convenor)

JOHANNESBURG BOWLS ASSOCIATION GREENKEEPERS STANDING COMMITTEE

This season we definitely had an abundance of rain with some clubs recording near two meters of rainfall for the first half of the season. This presented the green-keepers with some challenges, including over-spending of their budgets on fungicides, but despite this the majority of clubs still managed to produce good greens.

The biggest problem clubs are faced with in trying to achieve and maintain high gradings for their greens is the Heinz green (multi strain grass) phenomena. The only way to resolve this problem is unfortunately to replant the green and this season the Wanderers Club took that step. It would appear that in the newseason a few more clubs will be following in their footsteps which will go a long way to improving the overall standard of greens in our district.

Further to the above it has been noted that not many clubs perform a Levelling exercise on their greens. I highlight that fact that one of the requirements in the Bowls SA “Standard Procedure of Staging Tourna-ments and Championships” is for the club to produce a Level Profile when being inspected by the BSA NSCG (National Standing Committee Greens) for any tournaments being hosted by the district. The JBA will be hosting the Men's Nationals next season and the BSA inspection of the greens will be done in early February 2011.

In closing, I thank the members of this standing committee for their support and dedication over the last season and congratulate John Simpson of the Rivonia Bowls Club who will be taking over as the convener in the new season and wish them well in the seasons to come.

Anselm McLean (Convenor)

REPORT OF THE HONORARY TREASURER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2010

This again has been a year of economic uncertainty, interest rates declining and invest-ment returns suffering. I am pleased to be able to report a surplus for the year under re-view. WHY, because of the generous support from sponsors who were so willingly cajoled into giving by your persuasive Executive, particularly President Jac.Fees for 2010/11. Unfortunately these will need to rise as costs, whilst being contained,

inevitably rise. I propose the following:Bowls South Africa R140 - as advised by BSAJ B A 120Benevolent Fund 25

Rent levy 15TOTAL R300

This should cover forecast expenses with sponsorships providing some comfort. BENEVOLENT FUNDTimes have necessitated the addition of a beneficiary. The new contributions will mean we can meet our obligations and possibly be able to increase grants modestly.GENERAL

I hope the new Executive to be elected will also be careful with expenses. Thank you Jannie Hurst for keeping the cash books and also to Nexia Levitt Kirson for stepping in as our auditors.

Peter D AlexanderHonorary Treasurer

AUDITORS

The sincere thanks of the Association are tendered to Nexia Levitt Kirson for their services as Auditors of the Association.
