This handbook is produced by your Association Executive for your benefit.

All players must read and understand the CONDITIONS OF PENNANT and TOURNAMENT PLAY and remember the unwritten rule of fair play, good sportsmanship and common sense must prevail.

Congratulations to all pennant winners, Champion of Champions and other trophy winners from last season.

Good bowling to all in the coming season.

Jack Pitcher for the Lower Murray Bowling Association Executive.

BOWLS IN THE LOWER MURRAYOn July 30, 1962, a meeting of clubs in the Western District of Zone 4 of the Royal SA Bowling Association took place at the home of Mr A Heynen. The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain the feeling of clubs in the Lower Murray area towards forming an association and a pennant programme competition. The clubs participating in that inaugural meeting are, with the exception of Mannum, the same clubs which play pennant bowls in the Lower Murray today.

A motion was put forward at the meeting that the name of the new association be the River Murray Pennant Bowls Association. An amendment was then moved that the name be the Lower Murray Pennant Bowls Association. The amendment was defeated. So, what is now the Lower Murray Bowling Association came into existence. The inaugural President was Mr Heynen of Tailem Bend and the first Secretary, Mr R Abbott of Karoonda. Registration fees were set at 2 shillings per head. At the 1963 annual meeting, the balance sheet shows that receipts from registration totalled 25 pounds 6 shillings. From this we can see that 253 players were registered in that first year. For some reason or other, the registration fees in the following year were reduced to 1 shilling.

At the next general meeting, on May 6, 1963, the name "River Murray PBA" was rescinded and the name "Lower Murray Bowling Association" adopted. The reason given being that the latter had been the name used by the press all that

season. For the next ten years the half yearly and annual meetings continued to be held at Mr and Mrs Heynen's home at Tailem Bend, the town being roughly central for the clubs in the Lower Murray area. In 1975, Mr Heynen, Mr AR Bolton, also of Tailem Bend and Mr AE Denman of the RSL Club became the first members to be awarded life membership of the Association. They were presented with their life membership medallions on Opening Day at the Murray Bridge Bowling Club in September of that year.

Norris Stasinowsky must inevitably come to mind when we think of the Lower Murray Bowling Association. He was elected Association Secretary in 1974 and continued in this position until 1990, a record unlikely to be equalled in the future. In 1985, he was deservedly awarded life membership of the Association.

Peter Connolly of the Tailem Bend Bowling Club has since joined the ranks of Life Member of the LMBA for his exceptional and untiring work as publicity officer for the Association.

Lorna Rowley is a Foundation and Life member of the Association (Women’s) and was joined by Ivy Kluske as a life member. These two women have worked tirelessly for the betterment of bowls in the Murraylands and also the wider bowling community. Ivy Kluske has also served as President of Bowls SA for a period of three years.

On 30th January 2012 the Association became combined following a meeting held at Tailem Bend Bowling Club to adopt the new constitution and conditions of pennant and tournament play.

On May 6th 2014 Jack Pitcher had life membership conferred on him at the Annual General Meeting of the LMBA. Jack has been a member of the LMBA since 1992 when Mannum joined the Lower Murray. He became Secretary in 2002 and is still serving.
