AUGUST NEWSLETTER


GARDENING CLUB EVENING - This is being held at our club on Wednesday 5 August at 7pm. Midge Ruka, the President of the Dunedin Gardening club will be talking about all things gardening.

FLAG 500 – A huge thank you to Lyn Rance and everyone who helped with the Flag 500 events over the last few months.  These were all extremely successful and raised a good amount of money for our club.

VENUE HIRES – we have a few venue hires coming up so the clubrooms will be unavailable on the following dates: 15 Aug, 23 Aug, 28 Aug & 29 Aug.

LOTTO – Prydie still has two numbers left in the Lotto for anyone who would like one – only $25 each.  28 & 34 are available.

POSITIONS VACANT – We still have not been able to fill two vital roles – Men’s Saturday Selector and Results Recorder.  If you are interested in either one of these, please contact Sarah.

MURAL UPDATE – A dedicated Mural Working Group has now been established, with work underway on funding opportunities, Dunedin City Council requirements, local artist options, community engagement and learnings from similar mural projects. This is where the hard work begins with pulling together all the information we need across different areas which is why establishing the working group is so beneficial. The group will be meeting every fortnight to ensure the project keeps moving forward. 

The intention remains to create a vibrant, community-led mural on the club’s front wall, with lawn bowlers at the centre and wider Green Island life represented through recognisable, non-branded imagery. The project will be externally funded, with no cost to the club.

SOLAR PANEL COMPETITION – unfortunately we were unsuccessful in winning the solar package – thank you to all those who voted for us.  The lucky winners were The Otago Community Hospice who I think we can all agree are worthy recipients!

SPONSORS – Please remember to use our sponsors services when you can and mention that you are a GIBC member.  We wouldn’t be able to play the sport we love without their generous support.
