From the President (by Sam Katsivas)
Bowling Centre of Excellence
Unfortunately, I have nothing further to report, as the meeting which was scheduled for
3rd December has been pushed back to the end of January by the West Torrens Council.
I will keep you informed of any progress.
Grand Classic
The Lockleys Grand Classic scheduled for Sunday Jan 3 2021, is fast approaching. We need as
many teams as possible to enter our premier event, in order to make it viable. Ashley has
suggested, and I certainly agree, that one way of bolstering numbers is for as many Lockleys
players to participate as possible. Even better, would be if Lockleys players invite other players
they know from other clubs, to join them and form a rink to participate on the day. Rinks with
one or two Lockleys players with the remainder of players coming from other clubs is a certain
way to ensure a good turnout.
Please think about supporting the club by getting a few players together and entering your team
on the nomination sheet in the clubrooms.
Bowls Report (from Ashley Halls)
Club Championship games
The club is looking to hold the championship finals day for the singles and the pairs on Sunday
31 January. This will give the respective winners the opportunity to nominate for the Bowls SA
champion of champions.

From the Treasurer (by Treasurer Tony Holder)
The club recently received just over $100 from Drakes Supermarkets through its Drakes
Community Dollars support program. Thank you to the members and supporters who
participate in the program. This “easy” money is a great benefit to the club.
More details about the Community Dollar program in the ICYMI section of this newsletter.
The Club has been advised that it will receive a grant of nearly $3000 from the Office of
Recreation & Sport for "club rebooting". Our local MP Matt Cowdrey is keen to hand-over the
funds at a suitable function in the near future.
Some club championship event fees are still outstanding. Entry cost is $7 per event to a
maximum of $20.
Night Owls
Every Tuesday and Wednesday night during the pennant season, Night Owls bowling runs at our
club. This season, there are 18 teams (of 4) registered on each night. Games commence at
around 7.15pm and players play until around 9pm. It’s a fun, social activity where bowls are
provided by the club for those who don’t have their own, and people mix and mingle in a semi-
competitive format. Games are scored and results matter; there is a premiership table and
bragging rights are the order of the day.
Afterwards, there is a light supper and some teams stay around for a few drinks with full bar
service. It’s a top way to spend a Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Night Owls has been paused over the holiday season and will resume on the 12th and 13th
January.
The premiership tables after the first half of the season are as follows:

Ladies teams from Lockleys recently played in the tournaments at Payneham,
Prospect-Broadview and Tranmere.
Having a Lockleys team at other club’s tournaments is important for several reasons (which I
won’t list here). If any of the above interest you and you are struggling to fill a team, please
contact Stephen Jones on 0401-991-980 … he might be able to help.

Shopping at Drakes Supermarket
Club members and supporters who shop at Drakes Supermarket are strongly encouraged to get
their "Drakes Community Dollars" bar code scanned.
Through this promotion the club gets 1c for every $2 spent and whilst that may not sound much,
it pleasantly surprising how quickly it can add up. The club has received $300 so far and the
promotion only started part way through last season.
So please … scan that bar-code when you shop at Drakes.

And finally …did you hear the one about ..?
When the usher noticed a man stretched across three seats in the theatre, he walked over and
whispered, "Sorry, sir, but you are allowed only one seat."
The man moaned but didn't budge.
"Sir, if you don't move, I'll have to call the manager", said the usher more loudly. The man
moaned again, but stayed where he was.
The usher left and returned with the manager, who, after several attempts at dislodging the
fellow, called the police.
The cop looked at the reclining man and said, "All right, what's your name, pal?"
"Joe", the man mumbled.
"And where are you from, Joe?"
"The balcony."
