Congratulations to Josh Warren on winning the Men's State Singles Final.

season. Well done to Mark Ryan on getting through to the Final. A great game of bowls by both

players and it was a pleasure to have marked this game. Also, Congratulations to Jean Sprague on 2 Page

winning the Women's GV Champion of Champions for this season. Well done to Olivia Cartwright on making the Final.

Well done to both the Men's and Women's GV Sides in the Regional Challenge game. Some great Bowls played and good Sportsmanship by all. Congratulations to the GV Blue side on taking out the Regional Challenge game for the 2nd Year in a row.

The GV has had a fantastic year with winning the Men's Ovens and Murray Challenge game for the 3rd year in a row. Was a great day having the Men and Women playing on the same day, with great Team spirit and encouragement was great to see.

Thank you to All the GV Clubs who have hosted various events during this season, and to those Clubs who will host Finals in this seasons Pennant Finals. Your support is greatly appreciated. This Season is going so fast and this year is already going quickly, and I wish the Teams playing in the Finals for Pennant of the Midweek and Weekend all the very best and good Bowling.

Huge Thank you to the members of the Board and Sub Committees for all their hard work and continual hard work this Season. I really do appreciate it.

Some vacant positions will be available at the end of this season, and I encourage those who would like to put their hands up if you think you have something to offer to do so. All positions entail a great amount of hard work and we shouldn't be critical of those who are trying to do the best for the GV and Bowls in general.

See you all around the Greens and the Finals.

WELFARE, PROMOTION & SPONSORSHIP REPORT: Grace Kenworthy

Since the last general meeting there haven’t been many requests from the clubs for Get Well or Sympathy cards to be sent to members or the families of deceased members.

Those that were sent are as follows:

Get Well cards to Bill Wood, Mal & Trish Delahey, Hilda Biach and Dennis Taylor.

Sympathy cards to Roy Harrison, Bob Canute, Bob McLean and family, the family of Tom Brodie and Ivan Hall.

I encourage all clubs to notify our secretary, Joy, of the passing of members or any family member of a club member, both past and present. Also please notify Joy of any illness or injury being suffered by a club member.

GVBD LAWS & UMPIRES: Gordon Nash

Selectors are asked to familiarise themselves with Page 97 of the Bowlers Handbook, “Selection of Sides” – Rule 20.

I have been asked by several Umpires when will GVBD Umpires Co-Ordinator (Doug Maconachie)

be having a reaccreditation exam.

3 Page

Umpires need to go to Bowls Victoria website, download the application form, have it signed by the Club Secretary. Bowls Victoria will then advise GVBD Umpires Co-Ordinator (Doug Maconachie), who will arrange exams.

There have been instances of unacceptable behaviour on the green lately, the Law provides instantaneous penalties, the Umpire on appeal will regard the end as completed and the Opponent will be awarded as many shots as there are bowls in use.

A second offence will see the Player excluded from the game and a sub is not allowed.

GVBD (Weekend) MATCH & PENNANT COMMITTEE: Rob Sceney

The Weekend Pennant Match Committee has continued to organise and run the Weekend Pennant and the Goulburn Valley section of the State Events successfully. There have been few teething problems along the way, but they have been able to cope with and solve those problems. Special thanks to Bill Chilcot for helping at short notice in running the Champion of Champions finals. The have been some changes of venues for GVBD Events due to clubs renovating greens, the unavailability of others with consideration given to clubs who have helped when needed and they have run successful events.

State Events The GVBD Men’s Singles Champion for 2019-20 is Josh Warren from Shepparton Park. The GVBD Men’s Singles Champion of Champions for 2019-20 is Daniel Nichols from East Shepparton The GVBD Men’s Pairs Champions are David Daws and Brad Orr From Shepparton Golf The Champion of Champion Pairs, the Weekend Pennant 2-4 and 5-6 Pairs will be run concurrently in April at a venue yet to be decided.

Pennant Our Weekend Pennant for Divisions 1 to 5 has run smoothly all season. Congratulations to all the clubs for their cooperation and diligence. Division 6 has given us some headaches this year with some clubs overestimating their ability to consistently put teams in the field. The GVBD Chairman James McLeod has supported the clubs with a player pool and having players from clubs having a bye or extra players have offered their services. The problem still arises. We as the GVBD board and WPMC will need to be extra careful about the 2020 season in making sure that clubs have ample players to cover the teams that they wish to enter in the GVBD weekend pennant.

Night Games There has been an excellent response to the invitation for clubs to hold weekend pennant games at night under lights. There have been games in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 held at night during the season. It is very pleasing to see clubs working together for the betterment of bowls in general.

Finals The WPMC has set the finals agenda as follows: The First, Second and Preliminary finals in all sections will be held on the Saturdays allocated at

venues chosen by the WPMC. Single greens will be used where appropriate. These venues will

happen be chosen after consulting with the greens committee’s inspections of the clubs’ greens and 4

facilities that applied for finals. Page

The Grand Finals will be held at clubs that have two greens and facilities suitable for the occasion. Divisions 3 to 6 will be held on the Saturday at two venues. The combination of which divisions will depend on which clubs make the grand finals. The Division 1 and 2 grand finals will be held at the one venue. Division 2 will start earlier at 10:00 with the Division 1 starting at 1:00.

All clubs that have applied for finals have been allocated at least one final. The finals venues will be released to all the clubs of the GVBD ASAP when the makeup of the final fours of all Divisions are known.

Website How to Create a Sectional Play Draw has been placed in the documents section of the GVBD Website. Draws for 8,16, 32 and 64 players draw with explanations of where to place byes etc will be uploaded in the coming weeks

Ideas for consideration for the clubs of the GVBD for Pennant in general from Board Member Rob Sceney

These ideas are discussion and consideration only. If clubs think that any are worthy for consideration (or ideas not mentioned here) by the GVBD then they can contact the board through the GVBD secretary.

• Weekend Pennant Play 21 ends straight through • Weekend Pennant Earlier start, say 12:30 • Play Night Pennant during the winter, played at indoor venues, under lights • Smaller clubs combine numbers to create more viable pennant teams. The clubs to retain own identity for club championships, GVBD State entries etc • Play two pennant shorter pennant seasons: One Before Christmas and one after Christmas • Play Four rinks of triples • Play three rinks of fours • Play one round of pennant and finals before Christmas. Then Clubs choose and GVBD helps coordinate 4-5 tournaments per club, so they do not clash. E.g. January to May/June.

GVBD (Midweek) MATCH & PENNANT COMMITTEE: Jean Sprague

The Ladies have completed all their State Events with the last two being the State Pairs and the Champion of Champion Singles.

Congratulations to Di Hands and Kate Bush from Shepparton Park who defeated Cathy Dudley and Sandra Wallace (S/P) in a very tight final.

The final of the Champion of Champion singles saw the same match up as last year, with a reverse result. Jean Sprague (Rushworth) defeated Olivia Cartwright representing Kyabram. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our State event winners good bowling in their regional play offs.

The GV Champion of Champion pairs will be held this week at East Shepparton.

The Mid Week pennant competition has progressed well and has only two more weeks to play to 5

complete the home and away games. Page

The Midweek Match & Pennant Committee will be deciding on venues for the finals very shortly, considering the clubs who expressed interest in hosting finals and the report from the greens committee. We will endeavour to share the finals around.

Well done and good bowling to those clubs who will contest the finals.

GVBD GREENS COMMITTEE: Peter Naughton.

No report provided.

JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT & WEB CO-ORDINATION: Bill Chilcott

Webmaster Report:

BOWLSLINK Competition Portal:

• Kelvin Rodgers of BA advises that BOWLSLINK will have the software modified in time for the pennant finals to automatically generate the finals rounds. Luke Brown is now aware of the issue and will keep me in touch. • I plan on running a spreadsheet, with the information required for display on the website. • This will require team sheets to be forwarded to me early enough to post them on the website for general viewing. I will advise further on the direction in this matter if needed. • Two versions of the pennant finals sheet are available on the website, under Documents. • All registered members on BOWLSLINK can access their details on BOWLSLINK. A Step by Step instruction has been placed on the Documents page of the GVBD website. • Club participation in maintaining the players and results is outstanding, with rare occasions for follow up. Clubs with problems are actively contacting me to keep everything timely. GVBD.

GVBD Website:

• On pennant play days, there is just over 1-page view per player for the day, with slightly fewer visits on the day after. This means the site is visited about 3500 times per week. During the Xmas break it was around 1000 times per week. • I have added to the documents tab of the website, forms for pennant finals scoreboard operators to assist with the tallying of the overall result. Two versions are available, use whichever suits your needs. • The CLUB EVENTS section of the website was down over the Christmas break, and is now once again on display. • I have set up a section (widget) for each of the clubs in the division that I can add links or other more permanent information should a club desire it. To view, go to clubs and links,

then select a club to view club specific items.

Send me info if you desire an update for your club’s spot. 6 Page

Junior Development:

GV Devils have had a very busy and productive start to the year. The Goulburn Valley Devils – Under 18 Lawn Bowls Squad have had a busy January on the bowls green. The first weekend saw 13 juniors represent their clubs – Stanhope, East Shepparton, Hill Top and Kyabram in the Ted King tournament at Strathmerton. Josh Cartwright and Ben Fletcher were invited to play in the Bowls Vic development teams under the eye of designated coach David.

Training then continued every Monday night throughout the holiday period in preparation for the Junior Provincial Championships – Flapper shield at Daylesford (most prestigious junior event in the State). GVBD has provided some financial assistance for the event. Two of the juniors Olivia Cartwright (Hill Top) and Bailey Leask (East Shepparton) represented Victoria in the Under 18 team at South Australia where Olivia had a win. 11 other juniors held their heads high in their first time at this event.

Olivia is also the Winner of the Australia Day -Sports Person for Kyabram and the Shire of Campaspe.

The GV Devils will also play Under 18 State Championship March 30th – April 2nd at Narre Warren BC. 10 juniors and 4 adults will head down to represent the Goulburn Valley. Financial assistance will be required for accommodation etc. I am working with Naomi to prepare an application for a Sporting Club Grant to provide some uniforms for the juniors. It is hoped that these will remain the property of the GVBD, as the juniors will grow out of them from year to year. More information as it comes to hand
