BNABAi President, Tony Watson met with the Men’s President at Northern Suburbs Bowls Club, John Postlethwaite, on Thursday 29th April 2021 to discuss the moving of BNABAi from Kallangur to NSBC as a base.

John raised a range of items, including giving BNABAi a Notice Board, Room on the wall of the Club for our Perpetual Trophies, Access to Lockers for Members and the use of their function room without fees for doing so.

In addition to this John agreed that BNABAi will have a spot in NSBC Newsletter for articles that we wish to publish and that NSBC will distribute our newsletter to their members.

BNABAi will distribute the NSBC Newsletter to our members.

NSBC will be a great home for the future and are totally supportive of the BNABAi. We look forward to working with NSBC in the future.

BNABAi had two teams compete in the Arm Bowls Triples at Caloundra on Monday 26th April 2021.

Team 2: Diane Keogh (Sandgate),  Gwen McVeigh (Caboolture lakes)  and Glenn Norton (Ferny Grove)

We had 4 new members in April 2021 Joe Walters (Maleny), Martyn Walton (Glasshouse), Chris Doyle (Kallangur) and Tony Pasini (Aspley) and we look forward to seeing them out there at our tournaments on a regular basis.

Joe and Tony both performed well at Donnybrook, so be sure and make them all feel welcome to the BNABAi when you next meet up.

David Pearson (Greenslopes) and Tony Watson (Kallangur) represented BNABAi at Helensvale on Thursday 15th April 2021 at their Versatility Pairs event. It was a great concept playing 3 Bowl Pairs, 2x4x2 and 2x2x2x2.

Dave and I did well winning our first two games and drawing the last on the last bowl.

Aron Sherriff was the organiser of the event and I would like to thank him for his great efforts. Aron is also interested in putting together a Gold Coast Arm Bowls Team to play against the Brisbane Northside Arm Bowlers and making a regular event of it. I hope this comes to fruition.

Don’t forget if you have an event you are representing BNABAi at, please let us know so that we can publish your efforts.

It was great to see an article in Northern Suburbs latest newsletter pertaining to BNABAi upcoming Club Championship Singles.

Well done to Geoff and all those at NSBC who are giving us great support.
