SUNDAY COACHING - 13th OCTOBER 2019 - from the manager
|
|
Those who have a Club Handbook will know that the Professional Bowls Association (PBA) have booked the greens on Sunday for the World Pairs Qualifiers and there is no Sunday coaching planned for 13th October 2019.
However, we are unsure if this message has been conveyed to all the new people who have attended our Sunday Coaching Sessions thus far.
If people do turn up for Coaching on Sunday, we will endeavour to beg some rink space from the PBA but this may not be possible.
We do apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sunday Coaching sessions will continue as normal at 4.30pm from Sunday 20th October 2019.

CURRENT
MEMBERS - CONSIDER THESE FACTS:
- The Club's playing membership has fallen from 1065 in
2013 to 900 in 2019.
- The average age of an LIBC member is ever increasing.
- Quite a few members give up the game year on year due
to illness etc.
- On average, approx 100 new members sign up each year.
- But only 50 of those remain with us longer than two
years.

SO WHAT ARE WE
DOING ABOUT IT? The Board of Directors and the Club
Management Committee recognise that there is an urgent need to both
recruit and retain members if we are to sustain the Club. They are
taking active steps to address these issues and further improve both
our support and facilities for new members including::
- Agreeing an Action Plan with the assistance of the
Bowls Development Alliance.
- Massively increasing our effort towards advertising
and marketing the club in the Lincoln area.
- Creating the 'LINK UP' initiative dedicated to
assisting and integrating new members.
- Planning 'open days' where potential new members can
experience the club first hand.
CAN YOU HELP? YES! We held our first Open Day:
'Bring a Friend' on Saturday
14th September 2019 from 9.30am – 4pm.
We will be holding more, and will publish the dates as soon as we can.
Please help us by encouraging your friends, neighbours, family members
etc to attend. We require helpers in the following roles (volunteers to
Danny Brown or Paul Davies asp please):
- On Open Day - Club
Ambassador – to greet visitors on open day.
- On Open Day - Coaching
Assistant – assisting our coaches on open day.
- After Open Day - New
Member Facilitator – to be a 'buddy' to groups
of new members, to provide friendly assistance to help them to settle
in, and to try and find the answers to all those questions new members
inevitably have!

Junior Club Advance Notice
Part of the success of the Open day was the number of youngsters that came along. Past experience has taught us that we need to keep them interested and make sure that they have fun whilst at the same time learning the basics of bowling.
Betty and myself will be at the club on Sat. morning 20th Oct ( from 9am ) and joining us will be Hannah Urquhart , who has agreed to help. Hannah will be a great help in bridging the divide between the kids and us old fogeys. I am delighted to have her help. Thank you Hannah.
I have lots of ideas on how to make things more ....... ....... .......

Spot The 'Deliberate Mistake' !!
- by Danny Brown
|
|
My apologies to anyone who has accessed the Club Men's Pairs Draw in the last 24 hours and found that it differed to the one on the Competitions Notice Board!!
When uploading files with the O60s Secretary to display their competitions, the Men's Pairs file got 'redrawn' and uploaded in error instead of the Over 60s Pairs! The error was pointed out to me last night by a very vigilant Committee Member!
The draw has been reset to the original now which corresponds with the Notice Board. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

I'm delighted to have been asked by host Trevor Swinburne, to guest on the Lincoln City Radio (103.6FM) SPORTS ZONE programme this week (11th October between 6.30 and 9pm). I'm told that ex BBC weatherman John Kettley will also be on the show! What a great opportunity to promote the delights of Indoor Bowls!
Trevor has already sampled bowls first hand when - as the chair of Lincoln City ex players Association - he brought a team of Lincoln City Legends to the club to play against a team from Lincoln City Radio back in August.
I promised him that if the Legends won we'd get a team of Linc ....... ....... .......
