Further information Perhaps each of us before we start firing the arrows need to remind will be forwarded as it comes to hand. ourselves that clubs cannot survive without the committed volunteer; which allows the rest of us to simply turn up on our prescribed playing World Championships date and play the game we enjoy. Let’s all take responsibility for From 24 November – 9 December, Adelaide will host the 2012 World supporting those who support us in playing the game we love. Championships. At the BA meeting, national coach Steve Glasson provided a detailed briefing on the work being undertaken to ensure the Bowls Australia best possible chances of success – and believe me no stone is being The CEO and I had the opportunity to travel recently to Launceston left unturned in this regard ! I would encourage all bowlers to take the for the Bowls Australia AGM, where the states and territories elect the opportunity to visit Adelaide and watch the world’s best in action; and board members due for election and to partake in a series of meetings of course to voice your support for the green and gold.

4 mediatonic.com.au FROM THE CEO Ken Pride
Pleasingly the first major BWA event of the season the Men’s state fours saw a 43% increase in entries, a great outcome and a key objective of the administration and fixtures & events committee. The specific reasoning is arguable but the ability for many clubs to obtain valuable match practice the week prior to the commencement of pennant is certainly one explanation. The hosting of the sectional play on excellent grass greens at Doubleview, Manning, Cockburn and Bassendean so early in the season will no doubt further encourage teams into the future.
However there has been a tightening up in the nomination of teams received after the closing date. In essence these teams will not be included in the draw, unless a team withdraws from the field; irrespective of whether byes are within the field. Once the draw is published only teams received prior to that draw being made public will be used. No changes will be made in the 24 hours prior to the commencement of the event. Whilst on state events some key changes to the ladies schedule this season will see the Pairs and Fours competitions commencing on a Sunday and the triples post pennant season commencing on a Saturday. These changes are specifically designed to encourage working ladies to enter teams and again try and return the events to an appropriate level of nomination – a requirement if they are going to hold their position of importance on the state calendar. It is acknowledge that these changes will not suit every country league; however research has shown the majority will now be able to play in the events; something that has been badly lacking in recent years. Like everything these changes will be reviewed in the off season; although self evident by the numbers nominating. Field of Play changes There have again been some less radical amendments, at least in comparison to 2011/2012, to this season’s various metropolitan pennant conditions of play. These amendments in full were communicated some weeks ago to clubs and also lodged on the BWA website for general information. Finals formats, extreme weather wait periods and the removal of the greens requirement to run 13sec. for pennant are a few of the changes and all bowlers, but particularly umpires are urged to be up to speed (no pun intended) with them for week 1. Capitation and the social bowler Some weeks ago I communicated to clubs a clarification to the capitation requirements of members. I have received a number of calls and letters decrying the supposedly changed position of now requiring corporate “guests” to be capitated – THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The definition of members requiring capitation has not changed. We are all aware of the need to capitate full members; however those restricted or regular social users of a club’s greens similarly need to pay capitation. Most clubs will have three general categories within their membership; the full, the restricted and the social (bar). The initial two categories due to their use of greens are required to be capitated- the third is not. The capitation model is that which is used to fund our game. If this model is abused, sidestepped or purposely ignored, then the onus will fall back upon the full member and costs will escalate. If we all accept our responsibilities to the game as a whole, then the benefits will be widespread and the sport far more sustainable into the future. Finally may I join the President in congratulating our juniors and their coaches Jaewyn Norton (girls), Colin Johnson (boys) and Elio Tolotti (manager) for their wonderful performances in Launceston – both on and off the green. It made for an enjoyable series of meetings with our contemporaries from the other states and territories!

NSW were able to reverse that result at the same venue on the following Saturday morning winning 73-56, mainly courtesy of Terry Antram’s rink who were always in control against John Slavich’s side opening up an early 13-1 lead before winning by 11 at the finish.

With one in nine Australian women at risk of developing breast cancer, BreastScreen WA provides free screening mammograms to women 40 years or over, and specifically invites women 50 to 69 years to have a free BreastScreen WA mammogram every two years. Once is not enough. A screening mammogram is the only method of detecting cancer at an early stage that has been shown to reduce breast cancer mortality. Early detection is important - the earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the chance of successful treatment. Clinic visits are quick and generally only take about 20 minutes. Telephone 13 20 50 for an appointment.
