Unification is here

 
Unification is scheduled to be finalized by 30th June 2024.  The new ‘Regions’ names and boundaries have been determined with the name offered by BNSW for our Region being Central Coast Bowls. The determination of boundaries now allows BCC to re-commencement unification discussions with CCDWBA. Hence, on Friday, 5 January 2024 representatives from BCC and CCDWBA met at Ourimbah-Lisarow BC, with the meeting chaired on this occasion by Claudia Lawrence After much discussion, the Zone & District Working Group for the unification was determined – comprising of BCC President, CCDWBA Vice-President, both Secretaries, both Treasurers plus BCC Director of Governance & Unification Brian Millanta and a Director of CCDWBA with similar interests - totaling 8 members. Unfortunately, the President of CCDWBA, Claudia Lawrence is unable to take up this portfolio. A new logo has been proposed that evolved from BCC, CCWDBA and BNSW logos, and this website has been proposed.

2024 Nepean Trophy

 


A great day was had at Bateau Bay today with the Nepean Cup being held between Central Coast District & Nepean District.
We thank Nepean for travelling up the M1 to compete today as it is the first time this event has been played since 2019.
There was a total of six rinks of fours over 18 ends each – five rinks of open players and one rink comprising players with less than 5 years experience! All bowlers put on a great display and the Central Coast took out the match 118-75.
Special thanks to Bateau Bay for hosting this event and in particular their social committee for supplying morning tea and serving everyone their lunch with record speed!
Well done everyone!

Ourimbah RSL Sides Successful at 2023 Patrons Day

After Covid cancellations in 2020 and 2021, then a washout halfway through the day in 2022, Patron's Day was successfully held for 2023 at Mingara BC on Sunday 10th December 2023. 

Patron's Day is held at the request of BCC Patron John Peek, and at the suggestion of Past president Kevin Dring, BCC conducts the finals of the Patrons Graded (11 up) Pairs which is aimed at those players who are unlikely to take part in Zone Championships.  

Ourimbah RSL took out 1st and 3rd, 4th, and 5th places.  The winners were:

1st - Nigel O'Donnell & Brian Donald (Ourimbah RSL) 3 wins - 39 points

2nd - Gary Justin & Hayden Gilmore (The Entrance) 3 wins - 34 points

3rd - Michael Wiseman & Waylon Cochrane (Ourimbah RSL) 3 wins - 26 points

4th - Tony Harman & Allen Kelly (Ourimbah RSL) 3 wins - 22 points

5th - Graham Beard & Graham Gooch (Ourimbah RSL) 3 wins - 5 points

6th - Allan Peters & Bob Taylor 2.5 wins - 17

The $1,050 prize money was presented to the winners by BCC President Brian Emms.  

The Mingara BC were excellent hosts with their superb facilities.  Club representatives provided a great BBQ that was enjoyed by all.  Particular thanks are extended to President Mark Rayner and Kyle Langley for their most capable assistance


Thanks are also extended to Creightons for their sponsorship of Patron's Day and their on-going support of  other BCC events as well as those of many other Central Coast Clubs. They are wonderful supporters of Lawn Bowls on the Central Coast.  

Thanks were also extended to the BCC Match Committee Chairman for his most precise management of the event.  

In conclusion Clubs were advised by Secretary Doug Rose that BCC will be fighting to ensure that the new unified BCC/CCDWBA body will be able to conduct this event and other events like it next year.  It will be very difficult to conduct this event in 2024 if the financial regime that Bowls NSW currently has imposed on the CCDWBA is also imposed on the new unified BCC/CCDWBA body.
