FROM THE PRESIDENT
I met with Julie Munro this week at Pine Rivers Bowls
Club and discussed the possibility of Julie taking on
Fund Raising Co-Ordinator for BNABAi. Julie has kindly
agreed to look after this aspect of BNABAi. Welcome
aboard Julie!
I have talked with the offices of Steven Miles MP and
Peter Dutton MP this week and both have donated
Christmas Hampers for our raffle. We thank both MPs
for their continued support of BNABAi.
I have written to Steven Miles Office to gain some
support from government departments in getting a
fairer deal for Arm Bowlers. I will let you know how this
turns out.
Unfortunately both BA and BQ are not responding to
emails and will not sit down to talk about Arm Bowls
and its future with us. This is a shame as they are
supposed to be our governing bodies.
Please note that we have agreed to change the date of
our Christmas Tournament in December to the 8th
December, due to some other events happening at
Kallangur. I will be letting everyone know about that
when I finalise the flyer that is almost complete.
The proposed Calendar of Events is complete and we
are just in the process of confirming dates with the
various Clubs involved in 2020.
Our new website will be available in the next week or
so and we are just adding some final changes to it. It
looks great!!
Shirts whilst on hold at the moment are moving
forward. I am in the process of trying for a Sponsorship
deal for shirts with Flight Centre, but this won’t be
finalised until December, so we have decided to wait to
see if they will do so.
I am currently working on a new sponsorship deal with
TravelScoot Australia. I will let you know more about
this one as it comes to fruition.
Have a great week of bowls and I look forward to seeing
many of you on the Greens at Aspley on Sunday
November 17th.
Tony Watson – President
BNABAi ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES
Julie Munro has taken on the position of Fund Raising
Co-Ordinator, so if you have any ideas on Fund Raisers
for 2020 please discuss with Julie.
The first job for Julie and myself is to organise some
prizes for our Christmas Raffle. Julie and I have
organised a pro-forma letter that we can send out to
potential Sponsors for our raffle and Julie is starting
work on that one.
Great work Julie!!

ASPLEY TOURNAMENT IS NEXT
Our focus will now turn to our next tournament to be
held at Aspley Bowls Club on Sunday 17th November.
This tournament is getting plenty of interest so should
be a great day. I hope to see a lot of our players at this
one. Again it will be under cover.
Our major Sponsor for this tournament will again be
Linda Walters of Progressive Realty and there are 3 x
$50 Cards up for grabs again.
Our raffle sponsor will again be Kris Higgins of Travel
Counsellors who contributes our raffle prizes each
month.
We thank all of our Sponsors and again ask that if you
can use their services please do, as without our
sponsors it is difficult to run these days.
BNABAi CHRISTMAS RAFFLE
Our Christmas Raffle is hoped to be a major fundraiser
for us this year and will be drawn on Sunday 8th
December at Kallangur Memorial Bowls Club, after our
matches.
Julie and I are working on gathering prizes at this stage
for the raffle and we have already started to gather a
few:
Freshly Squeezed Water Qld – Meridian
Cooker valued $150
Leading Edge - $50 Gift Voucher
Tim Mander MP – Two Pack of Wine
Tony (Ynot) Watson – Bottle Black Scot Scotch
Whisky
Steven Miles MP – Christmas Hamper
Peter Dutton MP – Christmas Hamper
We thank all of our donors for the raffle and hope to
see a few more yet.
Raffle tickets will be $2 each or 3 for $5 and we are
hoping to start selling tickets from 12th November.
I am working on some venues for a stand to do so at
this time.
