2020/2021 presentation luncheon
After several delays due to COVID restrictions ClubMulwala Outdoor Bowls were able to hold their 2020/2021 AGM and presentation luncheon in the Endeavour Room of ClubMulwala.
Unfortunately not all were present as many members had taken advantage of the lifting of restrictions to travel and catch up with family and friends; and who could blame them.
Still, over forty members, family and friends attended and all enjoyed a wonderful meal and beverages, good company, laughs and social intercourse throughout the afternoon.
One of the highlights of the day was the presentation of Super Veterans badges to six members.
Congratulations to you all and thank you for your continued service to bowls in general and more so to your support of the club.
The club is playing a little bit of catch up in this area and further presentations will be made later in the year.
2020/2021 Midweek B1 Champions
A presentation of a photo of the winning team was made to the Ovens & Murray Midweek B1 Champions.
Special mention to Joan Connor who was the substitute for the finals.
‘8’ badge presentation
‘8’ badges were presented to Daryl Richmond and Jan Corboy who along with absentees Doug Chessum and first year competition bowler Brian Pearson, achieved this honour during the year.
Bowlers play all their lives without winning an ‘8’ badge and so due recognition is given whenever it happens. Congratulations to you all.

President Graeme Arnold thanked all the members and their guests for attending the function and congratulated those who had participated in the bowling activities throughout the season.
A special mention was made of the fact that out of four teams that played pennant during the season, three made the grand finals with one being successful.
A great achievement for a small club.
Graeme is particularly proud of members of ClubMulwala Outdoor Bowls for their participation in the club events and also of those who give up their time to ensure that the club runs smoothly.
ClubMulwala Outdoor Bowls are such a happy club and members are always willing to pitch in and help each other.
That concludes the report for this week. Please stay safe, look out for each other and those in the community.
