Especially to scholars that do not participate in contact sport at theirrespective schools. We will also approach clubs to “adopt a school” and in that waywe will hopefully be able to recruit young talent.
During the year the Technical Officials Standing Committee ran 3 courses andqualified 7 Markers 5 Level 1 Umpires and 4 Level 2 Umpires.Jeanette Williams, Convener of the Standing Committee also renewed herInternational Umpires Accreditation in October last year when she passed theexam for the second time. The Technical Officials Standing Committee formed anUmpires Panel which is made up of mostly level 2 Umpires who will do duty at allPlay offs and Finals of E P Competitions. A Duty Roster has been drawn up and circulated to these Umpires so that theyare aware of the dates and times of their duties.Reminders will be sent to each one of these Umpires shortly before their duties.These Umpires will also assist at Clubs who do not have any Umpires for the InterDistricts during April this year. In order for these Umpires to be visible they will beissued with a Red Cap or Peak with the EP Logo and the Words “E P Umpires Panel”embroidered below the logo.

STANDING COMMITTEE: U25
During April/May we received 47 CV’s form players seeking selection to one of the EP teams for the 2016 InterDistrict Tournaments. Due to us only having three squad sessions the first squad practice was made up of 40players of which 30 were selected from CV’s and 10 were selectors choices. For the October and NovemberSquad sessions the squad was reduced to 32 players of which there were 20 Open and 12 senior bowlers.
The selection criteria for 2015 / 2016 were to select the best possible Open “A” Teams which could includeseniors, which resulted in three seniors being included.The Open “B” sides remain the feeder into the Open “A” sides with no over sixties being selected. Going forward the selection criteria will attempt to introduce younger, mature bowlers with the potential andambition to progress to the Open “A” sides.We have a problem in the province with respect to the number of senior players available for selection to thesenior sides. As a result of selecting three seniors in the Open “A” side we were left with only nine players toselect for the senior sides.
The selectors wish all the players representing Eastern Province at the InterDistricts in 2016 good bowling with the sincere wish that they participate tothe best of their ability and hope that they bring back some silverware thisyear.
Special congratulations to Geoff Gowar and Willie Kilian for being invited toplay in the prestigious SA Masters, Senior Section, being played at theWanderers B.C. from the 12 - 14th February, 2016.

EP BowlsFinancial Report – December 2015
We report a healthy surplus of R77 000 for the year. This is mainly owing to the All Cape and Women’s NationalTournaments. A total grant of R112 000 (or R3 500 per club) was made to all the clubs in the District resulting ina net surplus of R45 647 from these tournaments. Costs were well contained and we commend our LadyPresident and the other office bearers for the responsible financial control. For 2016 the affiliation, green andentry fees remain unchanged.
The Pastel Sage One accounting system was introduced early in 2015. This improved the reporting of financialresults and reduced the processing time of transactions.
An amount of R250 000 was invested with Personal Trust in their Conservative Managed Fund that yielded areturn of 9% p.a. after the first 6 month. Considering the recent performance of the financial markets this is anexcellent return.
An application was made to the Department of Social Development to register as a Non Profit Organization.However, owing to some technical difficulties our application remains unapproved.
A long-term office lease agreement was entered into with Westview Sports Club.
The membership of the District at the end December 2015 is unchanged at 1801 members.
