Tuesday 16 April - changing of the short mat guard
The AGM of the short mat section of the Club last week saw significant changes in the Committee structure with a number of the leaders stepping down after many years of service. Michael Hutchison (Chair), Bob Keen (Fixture Secretary) and Jane Carey-Harris had between them over 20 years of stewardship.
During their tenure the short mat section has gone from strength to strength and they all deserve great credit for this success. Short mat is a well-loved feature of the winter months at the Club and more people than ever have taken it up.
The new Chair is Bryan Nicholson, who has John Smith (Treasurer), Carleton Horner (Secretary), Jenny Anderson (now Club Captain) and Cedric Harding carrying on, as well as adding to their previous roles. Bryan has been instrumental in getting the East Kent Short Mat League (and its website) off the ground.
One or two more short mat bowlers are needed to spread the load in the new committee.

Friday 12 April - warning about our Open Day, 10am start
You may have noticed that we have been spending quite a bit of time promoting our Open Day on 27 April. We have distributed this information far and wide, including in some of those magazines which come regularly through your door. We provide standard information, but sometimes it gets edited due to a shortness of space.
In one magazine, this editing has produced a factual error. Just in case anyone turns up early, we will not be starting our morning session as printed at 1am.
Saturday 6 April - outdoor fixtures published
At last the fixture book is ready for collection and the full list of our fixtures is published under Competitions.
Friday 5 April - National draws announced
The draws for individual and Club entries in National competitions have now been published. A summary is included in the drop down menu under Competitions.
