GRADE 3 FLAG WINNERS

Waterman

The Waterman Trophy Rounds continued through February, with Mosman defeating North Manly, Newport and Dee Why but having narrow losses to Manly and North Sydney. The final 2 Rounds will be played in March, with the semi-finals played on Wednesdays 21 & 28 March, and the Final on 4th April.

Jazz

The first Jazz afternoon of the year was well-attended with over 60 guests enjoying great music from the Paul Furniss Trio. It augers well for a successful year, and the March 4th event which features the popular Moods should see an even larger audience. MBC Members are very welcome to attend - doors open at 1.30pm for a 2pm start.

Mufti Pairs

This has been a keenly contested Competition again this year, with 12 teams participating. The final Round was played in February, with the semi-finals between the top 2 teams in each of the 2 divisions playing off on Friday 23rd March, and the Final played a week later . The Competition has been blessed with good weather, and hopefully many of those participating will choose to continue to play mufti social bowls each Friday afternoon from 4pm (from 2pm when daylight saving finishes).

ur Club was much saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Peter McAdam, on Tuesday 13th February after his battle with cancer. Peter was the quintessential clubman, and contributed so much throughout his 8 years at Mosman BC. Some 600 friends attended his funeral service, with a large number later celebrating Peter's life at a wake in our clubhouse. Our thoughts are with Jenanne and daughters Jane and Anna and their families.

Men's Championship Pairs

Congratulations to our 2018 Champions, Snowy Kable and Scott Denham, who had a convincing win over Kandiah Siva and Bruce Bodinnar, 25/13. It was a tight game up until the halfway mark when 2 big end-wins to Snowy and Scott gave an them unbeatable lead.

Zone 9 Championships

Two Mosman teams contested the Zone Triples in February, both winning their first rounds before our Seniors were defeated in their second Round game, and our Reserves in the third Round. March sees the Zone Pairs where we have teams entered in all 3 Sections - State, President's Reserve and Senior. It's good to see our Club represented so strongly, and we wish all teams success.

The scheduling of the Presidents' Trophy worked well last year, and again it will be played through the year, just one Round each month

which should make it possible for everyone to take part. Entries close on April 7th.

Dress Code

In the main, Mosman members present themselves well when playing social bowls, and we believe it important to maintain our standard. As there may be a little confusion over the recent changes, there is an article below fully explaining our code, and I would ask all members to comply please.

From the MBC President . . . continued from page 2

A gentle reminder to all members that on our Wednesday and Saturday social bowls days, either the MBC uniform or Bowls Australia-approved attire or its equivalent must be worn. This includes shirts, jackets, trousers/shorts, slacks, skirts/dresses and caps. It seems there is a little confusion with the "or its equivalent" definition - all Bowls Australia shirts are a polo style, therefore equivalent shirts should also be polos. Similarly shorts, slacks, trousers and skirts should also be in line with Bowls Australia designs. "Or its equivalent " does not mean casual!! If you have any queries simply search Bowls Australia Approved Apparel.

For bowlers playing in Club Championships and Competitions, or representing Mosman in Zone, District and other club events, only

the MBC Club uniform must be worn. The same applies to markers.

And of course, proper flat, soft-soled bowling shoes should be worn on all occasions please.

Thank you for adhering to this important discipline.

Stephen Lewis President

members go to Carnivals at other clubs. I guess it is because it is so nice playing at Mosman, which I cannot disagree with. Playing ‘outside’ is such a great way to prepare for Pennants though. It gives you experience on all sorts of greens and helps you get to know the opposition. All the Carnivals are put up in the locker room but I rarely hear anyone discussing going to them. The Committee will discuss the issue at its next meeting and see if there is some way to encourage more outside play. Of course we can’t force you but perhaps some of you just need a little encouragement? Your feedback on this would be very welcome. This year is Mosman Women’s 45th Birthday and we are going to celebrate it in style! Please put the date in your diaries as we want as many as possible to come along. Tuesday 1st May. We have revamped the Norma Field Trophy, to be held on that day and are inviting six clubs to play against six teams from Mosman. There will be a list in the locker room to express your interest. No Grade 1 players please, this competition is to give outside exposure to other players. As with the previous Norma Fields, Mosman cannot win so the winner will be one of our visiting teams.

ongratulations Jeannie Crease, Barbara Anderson, Jan McGregor, Trish Tamaoki, Di Gould, Kay Balnaves, Tosh Czinege and Jill Kehoe! District Grade 3 winners!

What a fabulous day on the green on Tuesday 27th. Grade 3, were playing Asquith at Belrose, for the District flag. Grade 1 was playing at Mosman on the same day and when we finished our game we were desperate to get a text telling us the Grade 3 result. Finally, it came with the great news that Mosman had won. What a thrill for Grade 3 and many congratulations. The team now goes on to play in the Regional playoffs on 9th May.

For the record, Grade 1 also won their game, winning one rink and losing one but winning overall, giving a much needed 4 points. Grade 1 still has three rounds to play so here’s hoping they can move up the ladder to retain their place in Grade 1 for next year.

The season is over for our Grade 4s who played some great games but were unable to win their grade. They showed true fighting spirit and are sure to be a force to be reckoned with next year.

One of the issues that has been identified is that very few of our

C

As well, we hope we will have lots of our own members playing against each other on other rinks. How sad it was to hear of our beloved Peter McAdam’s death while we were away in London. Even worse was the knowledge that we would still be away for his funeral but we had been told he was to be toasted in rum and coke so we duly found a pub and had our own toast to this wonderful man. He will be missed by everybody, that wonderful sense of humour which was sometimes very naughty. Only Peter could get away with it.

His work at the club organising those wonderful social events and that first Centenarian’s Day. Wasn’t that fantastic? And it has continued every year since and will continue to do so. He was a wonderful member of our wonderful club. Great news from the Board’s January meeting! We are to have our Ladies Room renovated. Obviously this will take time but the search for a good bathroom company is already underway and we will keep you posted on progress.

From the MWBC President . . . continued from page 5

Our fabulous Grade 3 pennant team won four of their six games to win their section, with all their games being hard fought. In the post

-sectional play-off, they really had to dig deep in their game against Asquith on the tricky Belrose greens. They managed to

win both rinks with an overall aggregate of 37/33 to win the District pennant. From all reports everyone enjoyed their games and had a fun time, especially with pennant “newbie” Loyce Davis bringing lots of laughter to the team. It was a fantastic effort. The Regional play-offs are on Wednesday May 9th, when they will play the Manly/Warringah Grade 3 winner, with the victor in this game going through to the State play-off in August. The side consisted of the following players: Jeannie Crease, Barbara Anderson, Loyce Davis, Trish Tamaoki and Di Gould, Kay Balnaves, Tosh Czinege, Jill Kehoe Special mention must be made of Janis McGregor who filled in for three games and the play-off, and also Robin O’Brien and Jacqui Bajtala who played in one game each.

Another 3 new members were approved this month, bringing our total up to 190. Congratulations to our membership Committee who are seeing the fruits of their labour. A reminder and explanation of our Club's Dress Protocol in the March Newsletter will make the code very clear. Director Barbara Anderson and Julie Hayden have scheduled to meet with the CEO of Women's Bowls NSW to further discuss our proposal for a unified Constitution.

We are continuing to research the further installation of support stanchions to the centre walkway and church end. To avoid traffic congestion these will ideally be removable, brought out only on our main play days. The Board thanks Harry Evans and John Rock who have accepted our invitation to convene the Jack Harkness 6s & 7s Tournament and the Annual Carnival respectively. Research into the refurbishment of the Ladies Powder Room is continuing. Hopefully this work will be able to commence in several month's time.

SPONSORSHIP

The club is looking for

sponsorship for our

major carnivals.

If you have any contacts

who you think might be

able to cover our prize

money or are willing to

help please contact

Jenny Hole or

Martin McMurray.

The 2018 Men's Pairs Champions

are Philip "Snowy" Kable and

Scott Denham who enjoyed a

convincing 25/13 win over

Kandiah Siva and Bruce

Bodinnar. The game was very

tight until the midway stage -

after the 12th end the scores

were tied up at 12/12, but 2 big

winning ends shortly after that

gave the eventual winners an

unbeatable lead.

Snowy and Scott were our 2016

Pairs Champions, and before

that have won the Pairs on 3

occasions. Congratulations to

these two fine bowlers.

Incident and Accident Forms

All incidents and accidents must be recorded. There is a red folder on top of the filing cabinet (to the right) as you walk into the bowls office. This contains incident and accident forms. Please record any incidents or accidents so that the the Club is aware of them. It also provides a record of anything that needs to be addressed to improve health and safety.

Defibrillator

For those who are unaware, this is in the bowls office beside the umpires boxes.

WHAT AN HONOUR!!

Many congratulations to Bronwyn Fitzpatrick who has been selected to represent NSW in the National Championships for Blind bowlers to be held in Melbourne from 1 - 7 May. Bronwyn will be accompanied by Ailsa Maccallum who has played a major role in coaching Bronwyn. Further details to follow once arrangements are finalised but this is a great honour for Mosman bowling Club.

Vale Peter McAdam

Our dear friend and colleague Peter McAdam sadly passed away on Tuesday 13th February after his battle with cancer.

Throughout his 8 years at Mosman BC, Peter was a huge contributor to our Club, and was the quintessential Club member. He served on our Board for 5 years, responsible for the many events we all enjoyed. He convened both the Jack Harkness 6s & 7s Tournament, and our annual Club Carnival. Peter's most recent success was dreaming up and launching the Centenarian's Trophy, a competition for Sydney metropolitan clubs of 100 years or more.

Our thoughts are with Jenanne and daughters Jane and Anna and their families. Goodbye Peter - you were a lovely, lovely man, and a wonderful friend to many. God bless you mate.

A TRIBUTE FROM PASTA TRIBUTE FROM PAST--PRESIDENT PRESIDENT

HARRY EVANSHARRY EVANS

Peter joined the MBC Board in 2010 when I was Vice President, and as his entrepreneurial skills were well-recognised, he was "rewarded" with the Events and Sponsorship responsibility, and a monster was unleashed!!

Peter was an "ideas man" - each event had to have a theme, and each event had to be better than the last - everything had to be an extravaganza!

His first event was the 2011 Australia day celebration, and our Newsletter reported that "spectators around the harbour were craning their necks to see what was happening at the Mosman Bowling Club..." Who else but Peter (the reporter!) could have arranged such icons as a didgeridoo, Tim Tams, Norma's famous lamingtons, billy tea, paper plane flying competitions and of course thong-throwing! And then a bloody good barbie on the lawns and pav for dessert.

Naturally when I was elected to the big chair in 2011 I left those responsibilities in Peter's very capable hands.

So what was to follow? An Italian Night with dinner, dancing and strolling minstrels, Hollywood Brunch & Bowls, Black Friday Dinner, a Black & White Night and the list goes on.......

Peter assumed the running of the Jack Harkness Tournament and also the annual Carnival - with his network of contacts gained from bowling participation around the Zone, his "dance card" was always quickly filled.

Peter's Macadamia cartoons became a feature of our monthly Newsletters - I once asked Peter why all of his male cartoon characters were short, balding chubby chaps with glasses and he replied "isn't everyone!!"

He told many funny stories and equally humorous things happened regularly, this one suitable to telling in mixed company -

At a Board meeting one day Peter was a few minutes late and apologised, saying he had to take Alfie for a walk first. I noticed him fishing around in his pocket, probably to find a pen, only to pull out a Smacko which he then pretended to bight and chew!!

I did ask Peter to consider succeeding me as President - he was a personality, well-liked, a great organiser, a good delegator and a pretty handy bowler - but he wasn't able to accept for health reasons. Despite those health issues, Peter's determination and zeal to ensure that members and guests enjoyed a great experience at our Club never declined.

He never once let me down during my Presidency - what more can I say other than - "A BONZA BLOKE.

Harry.

From time to time a number of MBC

members mysteriously disappear from

the club only to re-appear weeks or

even months later looking very tanned

and relaxed. So what do they get up to and what

can possibly be more important than bowls?

Well, for at least five MBC couples, travelling around Australia in a caravan or

motorhome is the answer. So for the benefit (or envy?) of other members, here’s a

quick snapshot of our MBC nomads, their recreational vehicles and some of their

journeys.

Judy and Graham Mitchell

To say that Judy and Graham

have the caravan ‘bug’ is an

understatement. They are now

on their fourth caravan (each

one slightly more comfortable

than the last), having been

caravanners since 1976 when

they bought their first van and

set off from Melbourne with 2

young children to spend 9

months exploring the country.

That trip was for them a

magica l exper ience. It

introduced them to parts of

Australia they hadn’t heard of, including Flinders Ranges, William Creek and Anna Creek

Station, Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta Track, Ayers Rock and The Olgas, Alice Springs (and

the rodeo!), Mataranka Springs, Darwin (still recovering from Cyclone Tracy), Kakadu, 6

weeks on Brooking Springs Station at Fitzroy Crossing, Broome, Sandfire Flat, 80 Mile

Beach, Coral Bay for Christmas, crossing the Nullabor for the first time, Streaky Bay and

grape picking at Mildura. For the whole family it was a life changing experience.

Since that first trip they have embarked on numerous road trips tours on the road,

including completing ‘the big lap’ around Australia four times! Their current van is a

Coromal Seka 17 foot pop-top with lots of home comforts including a full bathroom.

Their favourite place? “Our list of favourite places is ever-growing”, says Judy, “but the

ocean beaches of Western Australia are right up there for their remoteness, white

sands, turquoise Indian Ocean waters, abundant bird life and general scenic beauty. 80

Mile Beach – wonderful!”

Bev and Harry Evans

Bev and Harry are in no doubt

about why they own an RV. “From

time to time”, says Harry, “many of

us would have flown to various

parts of this great country, but until

you traverse it by land, you cannot

appreciate all that Australia has to

offer.”

Bev and Harry are fortunate to have

seen many parts of the world, but

likewise thoroughly enjoy driving

the length and breadth of Australia,

having done so for more than 30

years. Their current RV is a compact but luxurious Suncamper Sherwood 4x4, having

recently upgraded from a similar 2WD model in order to explore the country’s more

remote regions.

Their most recent journey was when an MBC group of bowlers went to Perth last

November. Unlike the majority, they chose to drive their motorhome across. As Harry

says, “there are plenty of roadside laybys to pull up and admire the surroundings as you

enjoy a ‘cuppa’ or pop into a roadhouse for a comfort stop or overnight stay. Staying ‘off

road’ along the way is quite safe and you will usually find another vehicle nearby, but at

a reasonable distance.”

And, revealing the softer side we know he has, Harry adds: “the sunsets and, as John

Williamson wrote, ‘the chandelier of stars’, of an evening add to the experience of

enjoying the more remote regions.

Helen and Bill Haran

Helen and Bill are firm motorhome

fans. They bought their latest one,

an Avida Ceduna, in May 2017 after

owning a couple of VW Kombi’s and a

Fiat Ducato.

Most of their travels in their earlier

vehicles were local, although on a

trip to Kangaroo Island in SA most of

the road dust on the island was

kindly removed by Bill and brought

home in his RV. Bill now knows a fair

bit about how to pressurise an RV.

Their latest RV has more space, a large fridge and is multi terrain, so they can

now go up mountains, into rivers, across deserts and over cliffs. As you read this,

Helen and Bill are heading off on a major ‘lap’ around Australia for about six

months visiting South Australia, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and

Queensland. Joining them on the trip will be a Suzuki 4x4 in tow, a kayak and a

bike.

Why do they do it? Bill says “it’s about the uncertainty of what is going to

happen, there will always be something going on.” Just like bowls, really.

Andrew and Christine Woodmansey

S o m e t i m e s c a m p i n g a n d

caravanning is in the blood. For

Andrew, whose parents, sister and

brother have all owned or spent time

living in caravans, it’s more than just

a type of holiday, it’s become a

career. Having retired last year from

the corporate world, Andrew is now

an RV writer. His first book, ‘Caravan

Buyers Guide’ was written and self-

published in 2014 and documented a

five-year search for the ‘perfect’ RV

in Australia. He is now co-writing his

second book, ’The Australia and New

Zealand RV Handbook’, to be

published later this year.

Andrew and Christine’s own RV search finally came to an end last December

when they picked up their Vista Crossover XL pop-top camper trailer from the

factory in Melbourne. “We hired a motor home for a week to see if it appealed,

but it wasn’t kind to our bad backs,” says Andrew. “Our Landrover is very

comfortable, so it made sense to use that to tow something small and light,

preferably with a good bed”. They felt the Vista was the answer. Having had

many camping holidays as children, Christine and Andrew also found the annexe

and external kitchen of their new ‘mini-caravan’ offered that close connection to

the outdoors that only camping offers, with a few home comforts inside the van if

needed.

Their trip home from Melbourne to Sydney along the coast via Inverloch, Wilsons

Promontory, Mallacoota, Merimbula and Jervis Bay has whet their appetite for

longer and more remote trips which the Vista should be able to handle with ease.

Pam and Alan Carpenter Pam and Alan are caravan

converts. They have owned

Coromal caravans since 2001 and

currently own a Coromal Magnum

511 Pop Top, purchased in 2011.

Being a pop top, it’s easy to tow

and a folding drawbar allows them

to store it in their garage.

Pam and Alan find caravanning

allows them to get out of Sydney,

into the slower pace of country and away from the hassles of home ownership.

They both love the beauty of the outback. Their travels so far have taken them

to the Barossa, western NSW, SE Queensland and Townsville via both coastal

and inland routes. For off road adventures they go with a small tour group,

leaving their van safely in a caravan park.

Pam and Allan always go to Main Beach, Queensland each year for the month

of June with their bowls and to watch the Australian Open. They also enjoy

short trips to Kiama.

This puzzle was given to me by a very lovely lady. Names may have been changed to protect the innocent.

On a recent bowls day Gorgeous George was matched against a loverly lady we will call Judy. After all the bowls had been delivered on one end, no nonsense Liz, George’s second was at the head. Both teams had a close bowl but Liz indicated with her finger down. Cautious Dennis had not indicated. George at the other end obviously could see that measurement was required and told Liz to do so. As she proceeded to do this a member of the lovely ladies team kicked George’s Bowl away. Honourable Liz again put her finger down.

Were the correct decisions made during this measurement phase. Please keep your answers to less than half a page, you know who, as I will get into trouble with the big boss if you don’t.

OUT OF CONTROL

A player is "out of control" when he fails to adjust the length of his step

to the swing of his arm for the varying distances being played. He is in

effect "off balance".

Yes on any green on any day we can see players constantly stepping the

same length. Which might be quite all right as long as the surface is not

keen, say, more than 12 sec.

Many individual games are on record as lost on account of this defect in

a player's outfit, and some have been outstanding.

In a famous match between two equally famous players, one man won

so easily that it was described in the vernacular as "No game!" Why? The

green was particularly fast (17-19 sec.), and one limited his step to about

nine to twelve inches. He was "in control".

It was observed that the increased his step and therefore his swing as the

lengths increased. The other adopted a constant length step, and was always

strong on the short lengths.

Had the two met on a slow green the game may not have been on-sided,

because the loser would not have been "out of control."

"Out of control." The term looms large in modern bowling. And you

will often lose control on fast surfaces if you don't regulate the step to suit

the length thrown.

In the "know your man" connection, always give an opponent a short to

medium length if you find he is a one-spot stepper, when the green is fast-

particularly when it is extra fast (19-20 sec.).

The one-length steppers should benefit by the lesson and practise the

shorter movements. It means many points difference. The teaching applies

to all departments—singles, fours and pairs.

During his long connection with the game the Author has been surprised

at the small number of players who take advantage of this simple method of

controlling length.

Extract from 'How to become a Champion at Bowls'

Extract from 'How to become a Champion at Bowls'

by Zone 9 Coaching Committee

to take and; Secondly, use a yard rule or a piece of straight, narrow, thin wood to check your direction by placing it against your instep and standing back to confirm the direction is correct.

The piece of wood should measure 960 mm and has 2 functions: one is to check the line; the second is to use it as a measure of how far your bowl is from the target. Measure a distance of 360 mm which equates to the width of the mat and a second measurement (from the same end) is therefore 600 mm which is equal to the length of the mat. Records can be kept to allow a record of improvement: the width of the mat scores 5 points; the length of the mat scores 3 points and; the length plus the width of the mat 1 point.

The last element for the effective use of the chart is to allow for a practice plan to be devised. A lot of bowlers practice during the week but don’t necessarily have a definite plan. The Zone Coaching Committee recommends that practice sessions should be structured and, depending on the allocated time, consist of no more than three (3) routines. Maybe the needs can include: grass; weight control – long and short ends; delivery action – smoothness, timing, staying down, arm locked at the point of delivery etc; rolling the jack; on-shots and drives; or whatever you or your Coach has highlighted.

DDELIVERYELIVERY AADJUSTMENTSDJUSTMENTS

In the main, there are three types of bowler:

1. The social player who just loves to play bowls 2 or 3 times a week with friends and doesn’t really want to improve

2. The competitive bowler who is happy with his/her standard and enjoys playing and socialising with friends. This bowler is happy at the present standard but loves playing pennants and competitions

3. The ambitious competitive bowler who loves playing at a high standard and wants to improve. The catchcry of this group is, “There Is No Second Prize”

The attached chart is for people who want a reference point to analyse their own game and practice the improvements they perceive. It is recommended that this chart should be used in conjunction with a Club Coach to ensure all areas of improvement can be recognised and a plan of action developed.

The main areas for improvement as highlighted by the majority of bowlers are: Weight – too long or too short; Grass – too narrow or too wide; and not being able to make Adjustments. To improve direction these 2 tips may help: Firstly, aim your “plant” foot (the foot that stays on the mat) in the direction your bowl is

Two things to avoid when practicing:

Doing sessions with others can distract from the prescribed plan, allow concentration to wain or games to start. Playing games is not considered practice because it detracts from concentrating on the shots in the original routine, rather shots played in normal games.

Practice long and short lengths, most people roll at ¾

length ends and therefore lose the effectiveness of being able to win ends in games where the jack length is changed. In Grade 1 and higher games it’s normal strategy to play long and short ends and to change the length constantly during a game.

In conclusion, improving at bowls has a price to pay, and that is the allocation of time to practice. A comprehensive list of common faults and corrections can also be found on pages 40-41 of the Zone 9 “Bowlers Manual”.
