The cost would be $350 a panel, and an honour board will be erected to thank all who sponsor a panel. This is a wonderful way to contribute to the club If you would like more information please speak to Max Roberts or
Dennis Silver, who have been liaising with the installers, or any member of the board.

From the Provedore:
A Big Thank you to all the bowlers who do a splendid of catering.
I would like to thank Lorraine Pulford, who stepped in while I was unavailable in December. She even attended one of the functions by managing the catering, instead of as an invited guest. Thank you for all your work, Lorraine.
Over this busy period leading up the end of the year there were 16 functions, both of bowling groups and outside businesses and social groups, varying from small BBQ, salads and Bowls to formal sit- down Dinners. A few of these have hired outside catering firms but the majority are catered by the BBC helpers, both men and women, with the men manning the BBQ Hut as well as on occasions
managing the dishwashing. I thank them all.
Kathy Atkinson, Rosalie Braithwaite, Joy Bratt, Erna Eskildsen, Pam French, Miriam Garrett, Janet Hegarty, Shirley and Dennis Hoggett, Lindy Howell, Verlie and Bill Kitchener, Helen Lester, Lorna McElroy, Elizabeth McKay, Pat Rainbow, Janet Rutherford, Sharon Sward, Jan Williams and Pat Zapotocky.
Thank you all, Geraldine Dixon
