Our 2024 President, Ray O'Brien, for the 2024 season chose Play Torbay
as his charity, a charity that aims to improve the play facilities available for local children.
At the 2024 AGM Ray was able to present a cheque for £1600to the representatives of Play Torbay who came along to our AGM
A number of new people were appointed into officer points at the AGM but there are still 6 vital roles yet to be filled. All members should consider if they could carry out these roles and advise the committee as soon as possible, or the club will have difficulties is some areas next season.
We get invited to send teams to play against Guests at the TLH Hotel group on their indoor green. If you are interested
in playing in any of these games please advise Ray O'Brien as he will be organising our teams for these games using Rink
Diary

Maintenance sessions continue on Tuesday mornings. The green will not be open for Roll ups on Tuesday am, if you are free that morning, why not volunteer for one of the maintenance jobs.
Paul cannot cut the grass at present so we need a team of volunteers to assist in keeping the grass cut regularly.
If you can spare a morning a week, or if we get enough volunteers, one morning a fortnight,
to cut the grass on the bowling green, please ring Paul Stretton to let him know when you can come.
Many Thanks,
Management Committee.
Paul has also issued an appeal for more volunteers to attend to lighten the workload of the current Tuesday Maintenance session attendees. So please go down and see what you can do to help. Les Clarke (Site Manager) and Paul would be very grateful!
Volunteers continue to sweep the green daily as this should be done every morning, if weather permits, throughout the year. More volunteers are always welcome, Contact Paul to Volunteer.
We will, at some time in the not too distant future, need a new greenkeeper, as Paul wishes to retire, so if you have any interest in commencing the training required to be our greenkeeper, please let Paul know.
