INDOOR BOWLS REPORT
For many the Indoor Bowls that are played on
Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons are a social
highlight of the week, where interesting subjects
can be discussed and ongoing situations can be
brought up to date. In other words the Indoor
bowls team are a family that are sharing some
time together playing the game we all enjoy, but
with a certain amount of competition.
The next event on the Silverdale Indoor bowls
calendar is the Birthday event on September the
18th, celebrating the 21th year since the Indoor
bowls club began.
The birthday event will be a fun day with three
unusual games and prizes for the team that has the
most wins, runner up and the team that has the
least amount of wins.
There is also a prize for the person that can guess
the amount of money in our money pig.
The money pig is used as a small penalty (10
cents) for knocking the target white ball off the
Mat.
As well there will be plates of food nibbles before
the games to get everyone in the mood.
OUTDOOR BOWLS REPORT
August presented us with some trying weather.
However, brighter days are ahead.
Our opening day is 13th September and a
reminder that subs, $25.00 per member, are now
due.
Competition bowls are every Tuesday. Roll ups
are Wednesday and Saturday 12.30pm—2.30pm.
Roll ups are the social, informal bowling days.
RSA members who feel like trying the game of
bowls are warmly invited to join us for a friendly
afternoon. Spare bowls are available for your use.
Our RSA is a wonderful facility, but, without
members support, progress is not possible.
KEV REPORT
Some 30 members attended our August meeting and
among the issues discussed it was decided to purchase
a book outlining the history of the Korean War and
donate to the RSA Museum.
Those of us in attendance were able to congratulate
Past President Harry Pratt celebrate his 90th birthday.
We all stood and sang the appropriate tribute.
Our guest speaker was no other than our Welfare Offi-
cer Janet Fitzgerald who spoke of her life experiences
both as a child and a young adult. Janet stated she still
has all her school reports with each report featuring
the comment “Janet likes to help others”. Well that’s
what she does so admirably for the KEV vets and
doubtlessly for all RSA members requiring her
specialist knowledge and assistance. We sincerely
thank you Janet for all that you do for us.
From a KEV viewpoint we must not overlook the
magnificent luncheon on Sunday 17th August ar-
ranged for the WW2 vets their wives and vets of other
conflicts. Mark Harris did a great job in putting it
altogether with great support from RSA management
and staff. The catering was superb. The colour party
of Air Force Cadets, the table service provided by the
Women’s Section, the 15 waitresses provided by
Whangaparaoa College all made for a most
memorable occasion. The RSA National President
General Don McIvor mentioned in his address the
high standing of the Silverdale RSA and it was truly
evidenced by this celebration.
WOMEN’S SECTION
Hello Ladies, once again I must apologize for not doing a
report for the August newsletter.
In July we had 73 Ladies at our Ladies day.
Unfortunately our entertainer was ill on the day, but to our
good fortune Jocelyn Stubbing stepped in for us and did a
wonderful job of entertaining us.
In August we also had 73 Ladies attend our Ladies day, and
we gave out free meal vouchers to any lady that bought
3x$2 raffle tickets. I hope you all enjoyed your lunch. Our
entertainment was the Westpac rescue helicopter, it was a
wonderful talk and I think we got a lot out of it.
September entertainment in Flight centre who will talk to
us about different travel options.
If any of the ladies have some ideas for a day trip or of dif-
ferent entertainment your input would be appreciated.
Please let me know, my phone no 424 1654
Hope to see you all in September.
