Message From The Chairman

Hi All,

I just wish to thank you all for a great turnout for the second Tour in Leisureplex Coolock, it was great to see.

Thanks to Leisureplex for hosting the event.

Thanks to Sean for his very much appreciated input as always.

Thanks to Peter Furlong for doing the scores. 

As this allowed all the committee members  to bowl.

Congratulations to all the winners: Nickey O Malley; Niall Cullen; Anita Watts; Kay Lyons.

I Would like to welcome the new participants, hope you enjoyed the day.

I would like to thank all the Seniors who stayed back for the meeting..

Sadly it was a bit too noisy to have a proper conversation.

There were a lot of views expressed, so in order to give them a proper airing Paddy Kilduff has booked a room in ALSAA  to have a meeting after the Senior Tour event in ALSSA on the 4th December.

This will allow us to discuss issues and hopefully come to an agreed solution to the financing issues.

Those who have not replied to my email re interest in the European Championships  could you please do so immediately, as I will need to put them forward to the selection committee for consideration.

Kind Regards

Joe Ridgeway

PS  I would like to thank all the committee members for all the work they do to keep the Seniors alive.
