TNBC 2026 Presidents Report: May
Hi Members,
Please find my report for May below.
Finances:
Another great month on the balance sheet for our club. Since the introduction of our additional poker machines, our gaming and bar turnover has increased by over 10% each month, which is a fantastic result for the club.
Open Fours Tournament
We recently enjoyed a great weekend hosting our Open Fours Tournament, with 30 teams from far and near competing. Congratulations to all the winners.
A big thank you to Daphne Reed and Robyn McAnelly for their time and effort in organising such a successful event. Special thanks also to Gavin Cummings, who stepped in while Mark Walker was unavailable due to knee surgery. The greens were running exceptionally well despite the recent deluge of rain, and we received nothing but praise from visiting bowlers.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped in so many ways — raffles, morning teas, scoring, and more — your time and effort are very much appreciated.
Thanks also to our bar staff for their friendly and efficient service, with many compliments received from visitors.
New Sponsor
A special thank you to our new major club sponsor, Noosa Estate Agents, and Nathan and Stephanie Howie for their generous contribution to the tournament.
We are also pleased to confirm they will be sponsoring our new competition club bowling shirts for the next three years. This sponsorship includes a new shirt, hat, and towel for every full member of the club. These items are currently in production and are expected to arrive before the upcoming Pennant season.
Thank you again, Nathan and Stephanie — your support is greatly appreciated.
Club Championships
Congratulations to the following winners:
- Men’s Singles: Adam Hall
- Ladies Singles: Lynne Stewart
- Men’s Pairs: David Hele & Bill Beattie
The Ladies Pairs will be played in the near future. Congratulations to all finalists on some great games throughout the championships.
Bunnings Sausage Sizzle
We are still looking for additional helpers for the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, held on the second Thursday of each month. Any assistance is welcome, whether for a short or long time, between 7:30am and 3:00pm. Please see Bernie Benson if you are able to help.
Good Bowling,
Dallas Furner
