All you need is to partner with an experienced player, have a pair of flat-soled shoes and we do the rest.<\/p>\n<p>The competition is held over three Wednesday afternoon\/nights, commencing at 5pm and we play for nightly and competition prizes totaling $1,200.<\/p>\n<p>The rules will be explained by the team captain, we will supply the bowls and if you wish coaching is available the Friday before the competition begins.<\/p>\n<p>Each team must have a member who is not a pennant player. You can also arrange emergency players if you cannot commit to all three nights.<\/p>\n<p>The dates are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Round One \u2013 Wednesday 12 September<br \/>\nRound Two \u2013 Wednesday 19 September<br \/>\nRound Three \u2013 Wednesday 26 September<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the Cup was won by Kevin Van Deuren, Peter Barraclough and Matt Neill.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst playing pennant is a core activity for our Club, we have tried to adopt some new approaches \u2013 we now have the Community Cup as a regular part of the fixture, we are playing games under lights and adding new games, for example the recent 2\/4\/2 night competition.<\/p>\n<p>Bowling Clubs must stay in touch with generational change:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We have begun Lornebowls2020, which aims to \u201cput everything that we do on the table for discussion\u201d, and for this feedback and new ideas to be used to focus our efforts to make the Club sustainable into the 2020s. The aim will be to launch Lornebowls2020 at the 2019 AGM.<\/li>\n<li>We have maintained our membership level, but the growth in social playing members has been significant during the past year.<\/li>\n<li>Monday music nights run by young community-minded people.<\/li>\n<li>The ladies have been proactive in recruiting more members, with excellent numbers attending Monday afternoon bowling.<\/li>\n<li>The installation of lights has already extended the use of the green in winter.<\/li>\n<li>Barefoot bowling continues to be a popular form of bowling and a solid source of income.<\/li>\n<li>Audience support when pennant bowling is at home is the envy of many clubs and the introduction of music is appreciated by most.<\/li>\n<li>Scheduling championship games, when possible, on a Friday evening with a BBQ has increased the members watching. Having a ladies and men\u2019s championship final at the same time was a great innovation.<\/li>\n<li>The introduction of dollar oysters was very successful on Friday nights in June.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Smaller bowling clubs are reliant upon sponsors. The Great Ocean Road Real Estate and the Bendigo Community Bank continue to be the largest sponsors of our bowling program, sponsoring bowling events and the daily costs of running the Club. They are joined by smaller, but non-the-less very valuable sponsors \u2013 Lorne Electrics, Beach House Gifts, The Lorne Post Office, The Stribling family, June Stafford, Lorne Hardware and Leisure, Lorne Foodworks, Sue Theodore, Lorne Breakdown and Towing Services, Stephen Hishon Celebrant and Lawners\u2019 Caf\u00e9 and Bar.<\/p>\n<p>In a lower profile sport these sponsors ensure that we remain an important part of the social and sporting framework of the Lorne Community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gary Allen<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>President<br \/>\nLorne Bowls Club<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday the 12th of September is the start of the 2018 Community Cup at the Lorne Bowls Club, sponsored by the Bendigo Community Bank.
