  • Flag pole on 3rd green is up thanks to Ross Hollingsworth donation and Keith Blincow labour

  • Health & Safety- May need to increase awareness of players & visitors. Ross to check whether the centre has any policy on this.

  • Website – Up & running with recent results included. Looks good. Links to other sites.

  • Amalgamation of Mangawhai Men’s & Women’s Bowls. Whilst this is a sensitive subject it needs to be explored. The chartered club constitution & structure is under review so this is timely.

  • Gradings – Neil Hibbert & Allan Stebben to progress these

  • Selector(s) – Try and get 2-3 selectors next year

  • Calcutta’s – Dave Stoddard says these are ok up to a specific $ limit
