This being my second year I felt I became a bit more comfortable in the position. I have enjoyed the year due mainly to the Board Members that has been my pleasure to work with. So I thank them all for the hours of hard work they have put in on your behalf. A special thanks to Neil Clark who was always available to help with your problems. His tireless efforts in keeping you informed on all matters concerning bowls Thanks also to Deputy President Ivy and Treasurer Adrian for their assistance. As always Statistician Bob Etherington has kept us up to date with all the results in his usual prompt and accurate manner. Unfortunately Bob is resigning as statistician so he can have more time to do other things. Bob will be extremely hard to replace. Thank you Bob for all the years of hard work and dedication you have bought to the task, you will be missed. I thank the Ladies and the Men's Match Committee, the Umpires and Coaches for the time and effort they give to Bowls. I was pleased to be able to present the Men's Division One Pennant winners' medallions. I was disappointed not to be able to attend any Ladies finals this year. I would like to congratulate all Division Pennant winners. We were able to bring south several State Pennant titles for which I am sure we are all very proud. Well done to all winners. Without Sponsors we would be hard pressed to survive so I would very much like to thank DJ Motors for their support over many years and hope it will continue for many more, also thanks to RACT for sponsoring the Women's Pennant and Wrest Point for their support as well as Trophy Traders and I thank them for that. I ask all Bowlers to remember our sponsors if you are in need of any product or service please give them your support. Southern Tasmanian Bowls Association Inc. Trading as Bowls Tasmania South 105th Annual Report and Financial Statements 2009-2010 We have some big decisions to make for the future of bowls down south and I ask you all to make yourselves aware of the proposals so we can move in the right direction we believe is best for all of us. I thank you all for your continued support for our game. The Board is ever mindful of your needs and we are at all times endeavouring to move the game forward and to make it more enjoyable for your participation. I would like to once more thank the Board members for their contribution and assistance. Finally I wish you all the very best of luck and hope you Winter well and safe and be back bigger and better next season. Denis Brownlow President WOMEN'S MATCH COMMITTEE - Bev Gillie We, the match committee, wish to congratulate all the winners throughout the season. It has been another very busy season. Many thanks to all Clubs who made their facilities available to us, and for their hospitality. We were made to feel very welcome. Congratulations to our players of the year: Open - Debbie Lee (Rosny Park) and B Grade - Ruth Nischler (Taroona. State Pennant winners were: Division 1 Rosny Park; Divisions 2 and 4 - Brighton.. Congratulations to all these players, an excellent result for their clubs and for the South. Many thanks to our lady umpires and the men who helped out with umpiring during the season. On behalf of the committee and myself, we wish you all a safe, healthy and happy winter break, wherever you are, and look forwad to seeing you all again next season - relaxed and refreshed. MEN'S MATCH COMMITTEE - Noel Sharp Firstly, I would like to thank those clubs which provided their greens and members to host Tasmanian and Southern championships as well as pennant finals. Once again it has been a busy season with so many bowling events being run and, having worked on the State event calendar for next season, the South is in for another busy season. It was particularly pleasing to see the success that the Southern teams had in the State pennant finals.
