The Christmas festive season in nearly upon us and that is a wonderful time of the year to visit your Club for a catch up with family and friends. Our three Club sites offer excellent amenities in a relaxed atmosphere so do visit any of them over the festive season and enjoy the hospitality offered by our staff. DOOLEYS Christmas Fair will again be held at Wyatt Park Lidcombe on Sunday 7 December in support of the Oncology Unit of The Children’s Hospital Westmead. This is our annual major fundraiser for the hospital and is always a great day out! Members and their families are all invited to attend and enjoy the amusement rides, Christmas fun, and market stalls, and of course a visit from Santa Claus. So do come along and support this wonderful cause. Year in Review As can be seen from the Annual Report, the DOOLEYS Group had another strong year of growth in all areas of the business. Stage1 of our Master Plan was completed and officially opened in June giving Members a revamped Club with additional first class facilities. With any redevelopment, disruption will occur but if properly managed, it can be kept to a minimum. And so it was as DOOLEYS and I congratulate our staff for managing the issue in a professional manner allowing Members to continue to enjoy the Club’s facilities. Since the builders have left the site and normality returned, your Club has been trading well and we look forward to increased patronage over the festive season. Our commitment to our local community and beyond continued throughout the year, supporting worthwhile long term partnerships and this will undoubtedly continue into the future. At the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2014, CEO David Mantle gave Members an overview of what our site could look like into the future. With the purchase of property in Board St and Ann St, the security of the Club’s expansion is assured. There is much work to be done with the Property & Development Committee, in consultation with our architects and building consultants, planning of the site will continue into 2015. Members will be kept informed of any developments via these pages. 2014 Clubs NSW Conference This year’s Clubs NSW Conference was again attended by Directors and our Senior Management. During the Conference, delegates were addressed by the Premier of NSW, the Hon Mike Baird and Gaming & Racing Minister, the Hon Troy Grant. For an industry to attract two senior members of the NSW Government to its conference, reinforces the significant role that Clubs play in their communities. The Premier in his address emphasised the important role that Clubs play in the lives of so many people across NSW, from employment, to community support or simply having a drink with friends, Clubs like DOOLEYS have deep community roots and are the fabric of our society in NSW. The Government also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Clubs NSW on a package of measures which will deliver economic stability, confidence and growth for the Club industry and the wider community. Key measures in the MOU include a commitment to maintaining the current Club gaming tax, strengthening the ClubGRANTS local committee system to make it easier for community groups to apply for grants, and consideration be given by the NSW Government on whether ClubsGRANTS funds can be used to assist in providing community care services. These and the other range of measures announced, will allow us to proceed with confidence as we plan for the future. Elections 2014 At the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2014, our CEO announced the result of the uncontested election for 2014. Under the Tri-Annual Rule, this year there were two positions to be contested, and as the number of nominations accepted did not exceed the number of positions to be filled, current Directors Christopher Cassidy and John Munce were elected. On behalf of Chris and myself, I thank Members for your support over the years and the confidence you place in us in governing the business. Our Board numbers have been reduced to eight with a further reduction to seven by 2016. These changes were approved by Members at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Conclusion Another year is about to close, and we wonder where the time has gone. On behalf of the Board, Management, and Staff may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and Holy Christmas. Christmas is about family and friends and we must not forget Members who have lost loved ones during the year, and to those on the sick list, we wish you a speedy recovery. Best wishes to you all. See you around the Club.

Annual General Meeting DOOLEYS AGM was held on Wednesday 22 October 2014 and attended by 72 Members. Members are advised that the two current Directors of the Club were re-elected unopposed. I take this opportunity to congratulate John Munce and Chris Cassidy on their reappointed as Directors and thank Members for their recognition of the exceptional performance, commitment and contribution of the current board. The Ordinary and Special Resolutions as circulated in the meeting notice were all approved by Members at the AGM. Members were also provided with a property update, specifically in regard to property acquired between Board & Anne Streets Lidcombe, an expression of interest from the Club to Council over acquiring part of Board St Lidcombe (from No’s 10-28) and development concepts for the next stage of expansion on the Lidcombe site. Members were briefed on the potential opportunities for inclusion within the Club as detailed in property advice by Urbis and from recent Member consultation. There will be detailed and ongoing consultation with Members, community and council over the upcoming month’s as plans evolve with a view to providing a Stage 1 DA and conceptual site Masterplan within approximately 6 months. DOOLEYS Christmas Fair Our annual DOOLEYS Christmas Fair will be held on Sunday 7 December 2014 at Wyatt Park, Lidcombe from 10.00am to 4.00pm. This wonderful family event is filled with entertainment, food and market stalls, amusement rides and activities for the kids. All proceeds from stall hire, amusement rides and raffles will be donated to the Oncology Department of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Please join us for a great day and help us to raise much needed funds to support children living with cancer. Community events We recently hosted the annual ‘Thank You’ donor celebrations of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. This event honours the contributions made by businesses (including DOOLEYS) and individuals to various areas within the Hospital. In recent years DOOLEYS has donated in excess of $710,000 to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and are a Benefactor of the Hospital. DOOLEYS is a Major Sponsor of the Auburn City Council’s Sports Awards, which were hosted at Lidcombe on 14 November. This was a great night with local sports stars recognised for their outstanding performances and achievements during the year. On 3 December, DOOLEYS will be sponsoring and hosting the Auburn Review’s School Citizenship Awards. Invitations to participate have been sent to all schools within the Auburn LGA with each school able to nominate a student who can be of any age, from kindergarten to year 12. Awards will be won based on either academic, sporting or community accomplishments throughout 2014, and we wish all nominees the best of luck. We will also be sponsoring Auburn Council’s Lunar New Year Festival in February as well as the TET Festival celebrations in Fairfield from 27 February to 1 March and hope to see as many Members as possible at both of these significant annual events. 8 Dragons Members are advised that the 8 Dragons Restaurant will change management from a Club operation to a license agreement with All Seasons Catering. All Seasons Catering headed by Michael Lau is highly regarded industry specialist who currently operate within Castle Hill RSL, Merrylands RSL and Seven Hills RSL. Michael and his team’s expertise will help improve the Member offer and experience in 8 Dragons. The transition will be effective from 1 December 2014. With Christmas nearly upon us I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all staff, to thank Members for your support and loyalty throughout the year and wish you and your families a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. Until the next edition, please continue to enjoy your Clubs. David Mantle Chief Executive Officer DOOLEYS QUARTERLY MAGAZINE YOURS 5 Directors Corner Annual General Meeting Education for Directors DOOLEYS’ Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at DOOLEYS Lidcombe on Wednesday 22 October.

Updated Privacy Policy Club Chaplain’s Message Welcome to the Christmas and Summer edition of our magazine. With this joyous but often hectic season upon us, I would like to remind you all of the true meaning of Christmas – the birth of Christ our Lord. Christmas is a time for family and friends, togetherness and for renewing our faith in anticipation of the new year ahead. Christmas at St Joachims There are lots of Christmas activities here in our parish, and we hope you can join us. We are excited and proud to be celebrating 130 years of the parish throughout 2015. During the festive season, we will hold our annual 9 days of Novena Dawn Masses before Christmas day. This will start on Tuesday 16 December at 5.30am, followed by a hearty free breakfast in the hall. Different types of breakfast will be prepared, ranging from continental English breakfast to Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Tongan, Indian, Italian, Irish, Kiwi… and the real Aussie brekkie. Celebrating Dawn Masses is a beautiful and meaningful way to prepare one’s heart and mind for Christmas. In this Mass and prayers, we reflect on the days prior to the birth of Jesus our Savior and the meaning of this in our daily lives. 6 YOURS DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015 Our Parish Christmas Party will be held on Saturday 13 December from 6.30pm in the Parish Hall. We encourage everyone to come along, bring a plate of food and some drinks to be shared by everyone. A minimal amount of food and drinks will be provided by the parish. There will be raffles and lucky Christmas prizes for everyone, especially for the kids. Our parish youth will spearhead the program with fun and games and dances. So, come and enjoy the Christmas party with us. At 7.00pm on Christmas Eve there will be a Children’s Christmas Pageant. Children and toddlers are invited to participate. We encourage your children to take part in one of the many different roles… the baby Jesus, angels, shepherds, the holy family, in-keepers, sheep, wise men etc. Rehearsals will be held on the two Saturdays prior to Christmas Eve. We will host Carols by Candlelight inside the church before the start of midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day Masses will be held at 8.00am, 10.00am and 5.00pm.

The month-long festivities included USA themed trivia, delicious USA food specials at Lloyd’s Bistro and John St Café, as well a range of entertainment highlights including free shows in the Members Lounge. Disco Inferno, featuring the exuberant Mike Mathieson and his dancers brought Studio 54 back to life, and Kevin A Legend presented his tribute to some of the best the good old U S of A has to offer. The Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam appeared at different times distributing goodies, and strolling musicians entertained with their Dixieland sounds. The month was wrapped up with the barrel draw on Wednesday 1 October when the Jeep Cherokee was won by one of our regular DOOLEYS Members, Ruth Eamiguel. O O YS PRO LE M O TI D Tom Burlinson is a unique performer and in the Wattle/Waratah Room on Wednesday 3 September, he demonstrated just how special he is. Not only is he an expert on the subject of his tribute, Frank Sinatra, his voice is remarkably just like the legendary singer. ON SE P T 8 YOURS Burlinson’s renditions of Sinatra’s best known ballads were smooth and mellow, while his up-tempo, big band classics were rousing and joyous. The final songs, ‘My Way’ and ‘New York, New York’ had the audience on their feet and cheering. Amanda Wilson from Strathfield summed up the mood of the audience. “Tom is just amazing. What a great night,” she said, “you wouldn’t see better than this in Las Vegas.” EM BER 201 DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015 4 Five Star Awards The Five Star Awards for Excellence Night was held at DOOLEYS Lidcombe on Monday 1 September and was a huge success.

DOOLEYS QUARTERLY MAGAZINE YOURS 9 Your Club in Review Our audiences for Musical Memories have made it clear over the years who their favourite entertainers are and Ian Blakeney is certainly one of them. Ian possesses a fine light baritone which sits comfortably with music of many styles. Add his boyish charm and the amazing arrangements produced from his keyboard, and it was no wonder that the audience enjoyed his selection. Some were even heard to occasionally join in the singing. As always, the afternoon tea was a hit and added to another afternoon of enjoyable entertainment. It has been called the race that stops the nation and for three minutes on Cup Day, it did just that. All eyes at DOOLEYS were on the screens as Protectionist romped over the line to take the coveted prize. The race was the culmination of a day of festivities, both in the Members Lounge and in the Wattle/Waratah room where sweeps were won, raffles drawn, hats paraded, fine food relished and fun had by all. Entertainment in the Members Lounge was supplied by the ever popular Re Groove Duo while in the Wattle/Waratah rooms, Cheryl Duroux kept the event rolling along while Brian King provided the music. 10 YOURS DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015 Winner of hat parade Your Community News Improve your health and wellbeing! Look no further than your local community for a fantastic program to help promote healthy living and active lifestyles. Auburn City Council’s Healthy Community Initiative (HCI) has been developed to address the risk factors associated with Auburn’s leading identified chronic diseases including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. After the initial success of the HCI pilot program in 2013-14, DOOLEYS is excited to be involved and provide continued funding for this essential community program. The program offers a broad range of activities including fitness for women, fitness for seniors, cycling, resistance and cardiovascular training. “HCI has produced a range of exciting results in the community, such as improved knowledge and skills about healthy and active living and the importance of a balanced diet,” said Council’s Community Development Manager Brooke Endycott. This is reflected in the return participation of 2013 program attendees, the reduction of weight and BMI among the participants and their improvement in balance and strength. Participants indicated they are now sleeping better, some have decreased their medication and many claim to feel more connected to the community and have built new friendships within their exercise groups. The program will continue in 2015 and we encourage you all to get involved. As a result of funding from DOOLEYS all Term 1, 2015 healthy communities programs will be offered for FREE. 2015 HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INITIATIVES PROGRAMS Stronger Smarter Women Venue: Auburn Centre for Community 50min class offered twice a week for two months General fitness class for women to increase muscle mass and build fitness.

DOOLEYS QUARTERLY MAGAZINE YOURS 11 Your Community News First time success for local refugee soccer team A grand final appearance is something that many teams dream of but never achieve in their lifetime. For this unique Newington Gunners Soccer team, it is a testament to their courage, skill and determination. They came to the Club’s attention as a group of men looking for a club to play with, but had no resources. All these potential players were recent arrivals to Australia as refugees. They were just catching up in a local park to play the game they love and at least for that time, forget about their everyday worries. Club Registrar, Andrew Hirschhorn wanted to give them an opportunity to play and so invited them into the Newington Gunners Club, along with some sponsorship from equipment suppliers and an anonymous benefactor. “From the start they played their games with passion and skill and contributed to club duties,” said Gunners Secretary Ben Nilsson. “These guys have battled incredible adversity to take the field, compete and win the All Age Mens 6 competition.” “To say that we, as a club, are proud to have a Champion team in our midst, is an under-statement. We are overjoyed for them, their team and their community. It demonstrates what a great leveller sport can be.” 12 YOURS DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015 Finishing the regular season in 1st place was an outstanding achievement. They won their semi-final and set up a Grand Final showdown against Granville Waratahs. Despite going in at halftime 0-1, they managed to claw back 2 goals, the winner in stoppage time to win 2-1. This was the Gunners first grand final win! Whilst the season is over for players, the Committee is working hard to make 2015 an even bigger and better year for players. One of the big changes is the collaboration between Newington Soccer Club and Australian Youth Football Academy to be able to provide players with a holistic program to develop better opportunities for players in the Newington, Wentworth Point, Silverwater and surrounding areas. This means all players will have access to better coaching and for the better players, a pathway to achieve their full potential in The World Game. Registrations for 2015 start 2nd January. Teams from age 3 to Adult Male, Female and mixed teams are available. Further information can be found on www.newingtongunners.org.au or LIKE our Facebook page Newington Gunners Soccer Club. DOOLEYS is a proud sponsor of the Newington Gunners Soccer Club Auburn’s Community Kitchen with a difference The Salvation Army Auburn has developed a unique concept to help some of the most disadvantaged in our local community – the Auburn Connect Community Kitchen. This new community kitchen serves two main purposes. Not only does it provide a nutritious meal for those in our local community who cannot afford to provide for themselves, it also offers a unique employment pathway for local refugees and asylum seekers. “This restaurant provides delicious meals for our local disadvantaged residents in a warm, safe and happy place,” said Salvation Army Captain Nesan Kistan. “It also provides a work experience opportunity for at least 150 refugees and asylum seekers participating in the Bright Employment Hospitality Program who will eventually graduate to full employment in the industry.” DOOLEYS is proud to partner with The Salvation Army and Bright Employment to provide much needed funding for this innovative project. The Auburn Connect Community Kitchen aims to reduce the level of poverty in Auburn experienced by many members of the community on low incomes by reducing the level of food insecurity. It also aims to reduce Auburn’s high unemployment levels by providing work experience for trainee hospitality workers who are newly arrived migrants from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds. Auburn Connect Community Kitchen is open Tuesday to Fridays 12.00-2.00pm The Salvation Army Auburn Corner of South Parade and Park Road, Auburn (entrance via Park Road) TET FESTIVAL – Year of the Goat 27 February – 1 March 2015 Fairfield Showground DOOLEYS is once again looking forward to the annual Tet Festival, marking Vietnamese New Year, and we invite all of you to join in the celebrations!

Healthy Harold is the program’s iconic and much-loved mascot who delivers positive health messages to primary school children. Healthy Harold has quite a reputation with the kids and, if you haven’t already heard of him, no doubt you soon will! “Each year, Life Education’s Mobile Learning Centre visits at least 5 local primary schools in the Auburn area,” said Fundraising Manager Lillian Adnan. “Healthy Harold and our highly trained educators provide children information about healthy eating and living, as well as providing age-specific information about the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse.” This year, DOOLEYS is proud to partner with Life Education NSW to provide take home workbooks for each child in our local area who visits the Mobile Learning Centre. The provision of take home workbooks are a wonderful resource for children to keep so they can refer to them in the future and share Healthy Harold’s messages with their entire family and community. Frank Davies We regularly hear about the amazing work that some of our DOOLEYS members do out in our local community. Once such person is Franklin Davies, who has been a DOOLEYS Member for eight years. If there is volunteer work to be done, or people to be helped, Frank is the first one to put his hand up. Frank started volunteering back in the 1950’s in Brisbane coaching children and adults in tennis, table tennis and soccer. Over the years, Frank’s volunteer work has encompassed a wide variety of organisations including Cure Cancer Australia Foundation, MS Australia, Australian Red Cross, Amnesty International and the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation, as well as many local sporting associations. Frank’s volunteering work has also seen him recognised with many service awards including the 2011 Government of NSW Community Service Award; the 2012 Bankstown Australia Day Community Service Award as well as the 2014 Sydney Mid West Volunteer of the Year. It is Frank’s professionalism and ability to build rapport with both children and adults alike that holds him in such high regard. Committing over 1,300 hours to volunteering each year, Frank is the definition of a community spirited person. 16 YOURS DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015 DOOLEYS Recycling Challenge DOOLEYS is taking up the challenge to reduce the amount of waste we produce and increase our recycling rate. As a seven days a week operation across three clubs at Lidcombe, Regents Park and Waterview, our business produces a lot of waste and now we’re working hard to reduce it. We recently undertook a detailed waste audit to establish just how much waste we produce here at DOOLEYS. The audit found we use 572,000 coffee cups a year, 2.2 million paper towels and 40,000 two-litre milk bottles. Currently, our recycling rate at the Lidcombe Club to 62% which is great but we are aiming for at least 70%. Now we’re looking at what can be done at our two smaller clubs. Earlier this year, we installed the Pulpmaster food waste system at Waterview, which has helped to improve our recycling rate. DOOLEYS environmental advisors Big Switch Projects are helping us with a number of key waste reduction and recycling projects: 1. Coffee cups – how can we better dispose of them? We already use biodegradable coffee cups but it would be better for the environment if we can compost them. We’re looking into that. 2. Paper recycling – we are looking at how we can improve this in our offices. 3. Green Waste at Waterview – we are establishing a new green waste process for all the leaves that fall on the site from our trees. 4. Composting at Regents Park – we are going to trial a new compost bin system for combined green and food waste. 5. Staff education – we are working hard to encourage all our staff to support the projects and give us fresh ideas for how we can manage waste better. We’ve set ourselves a target of a 90% recycling rate within five years. If you have any ideas on how we can reduce the amount of waste we produce and recycle more, we’d love to hear from you, our Members.

With over 4 years coaching experience and a passion for sport from a young age, Brad is enthusiastic about health, fitness and helping our Members achieve their goals. What makes you stand out from other Personal Trainers in the industry? I’ve taken an interest in sports psychology and I’ve found it’s really helped me relate to our Members and my clients on a whole new level. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Chicken, veggies and rice! What’s your favourite song to exercise to? Anything by the One Day Crew. What’s your favourite machine on the Gym Floor? The kinesis – you can work every body part on the same machine. What do you love most about working at DOOLEYS Health + Fitness? The Members are awesome. Our Members are some of the friendliest people I’ve ever worked with, and it makes coming to work fun! If you could work in any other industry, where would it be? Mental health, or something to do with psychology. What’s your favourite Group Fitness class? Yoga or Barbell. Yoga because it’s great for stretching, relaxing and calming the mind and body and Barbell because you work up a sweat and get your muscles pumping. Resistance or Cardio, which would you prefer? Both! No good training program is complete without a mixture of strength and cardio work. Personal Training Summer Bonus! For every 6 or 10 Pack of Personal Training sessions you buy, you’ll receive a FREE Shaker and 10% off our range of Horleys nutritional Supplements.

This year, our Members completed over 2,900 surveys and attended a series of focus group sessions to help us gain a better understanding of our Members’ expectations. Members were asked to rank importance and satisfaction across a range of factors for each Club and provide some feedback regarding our facilities and services. What is important to our Members? When we asked our Members what were the items that kept them coming back to DOOLEYS the seven factors that ranked highest in terms of importance were: • Being treated with respect from our staff • How clean the venue(s) are • Staff making you feel welcome • Customer service • Quality of food and beverages • Security What are our Members are most satisfied with? Much like previous year’s results, the results showed that Members are extremely satisfied with our staff who make them feel welcome and treat them with respect. They also praised DOOLEYS for the cleanliness of the venue and the fact they can feel safe on our premises. What are the areas for the Club’s improvement? In conducting this survey we also hoped to uncover areas that customers were less satisfied with, in order to continually improve our services. Members mentioned that they would like to see a greater variety of menu options that provide better value. There was also feedback raised about our promotions and rewards. Your Club is working to better understand what it is that constitutes “value” to you, our Members, in terms of food, beverages and our other products and services. We thank all those Members who took part in our survey and look forward to improving your Clubs, with better facilities and services to benefit our Members and Guests.

Various walks are put forward, but every now and then, something different is proposed. The following walk is one of them. Rookwood Cemetery Fifteen walkers gathered at Lidcombe station for this walk. Entering the cemetery via the pedestrian gate in East Street, we arrived at St Michael Archangel Chapel to begin a historic walk through the Old Catholic Section. Our first stop was the Toohey Family’s Vaults. John Toohey started his empire with a cordial factory in 1869 and Toohey’s beer did not become popular until the 1880’s. Next up was the Maher Family Vault which has the most outstanding monument in Rookwood, a gigantic Celtic cross. Timothy Maher ran Moore’s Labour Bazaar in Pitt Street during the 1850’s/1860’s which was the largest general furnishing store in the colonies at that time. Walking past the Slovene Monumental Lawn, we came to an original part of the Serpentine Canal built prior to 1890 which weaves like a snake across the centre of Rookwood Cemetery. We passed the McMahon Vault where James McMahon is buried. James held the exclusive contract from the NSW railways, delivering wool to the warehouse. James had 250 teams and 550 horses, transferring 750,000 bales of wool annually. Our next stop was where 3 of the 19 Australians who died in the submarine attack on Sydney Harbour are buried. We then walk to the very impressive Italian vaults. Our final stop on our historic walk is dedicated to the Sisters of Charity, the first religious sisters to arrive in Australia in 1838. We had a well-earned morning tea as we viewed the 1880’s Gothic revival style of the St Michael Archangel Chapel. We then moved on to the St Joachim’s Circle, stopping at the Mortuary No. 1 Station which was used from 1867 to 1948, before moving on to the memorial to the Jewish people who lost their lives in World War 2. After this, we walked up and down the many paths, viewing and commenting on the 38 unique works comprising the Art & About sculptures that are scattered around the Anglican section. Naturally we all had different ideas as to which pieces we liked best. From ‘Adrift’ – a homeless person asleep on a park bench, ‘A Few Thoughts on the Death of Photography’, ‘Regeneration’ – ceramic rabbits, ‘House of Bones’ and ‘Untitled’ – arrow of men blindfolded, they are unable to see and therefore cannot move forward. We had lunch beneath the piece ‘Heartbeaten’ – which explores the relationship between life and death before returning to DOOLEYS to complete a wonderful 6km walk on a beautiful Spring day. Leaders: Marlene and Stanley For further information concerning the Walking Club’s walks, phone John or Helen on 9644 8859. Lawn Bowls All of our Club Championships are over for the year and our Club Champion is Ivan Baxter. The DOOLEYS Open Pairs Championship was played on 27 September and was won by I Baxter and G Scopa, with runners-up being L Portelli and D Elbourne. Our Twilight Bowls have commenced and will continue during the Daylight Savings Period. Winners Rick Hegarty and Adam Scott receiving the Vizy Wilczek Trophy from Mrs Wilczek Our social games on Monday at 9.30am, Wednesday at 1.00pm and Saturday at 1.00pm are still going well and we would like to welcome new players.

DOOLEYS Members came second in the round robin part of the tournament with 116 points, narrowly beaten by Wentworthville Leagues Club who finished with 117 points. In order for the Snooker Club to enter a team in the B and C grades next year, we need more players, and that means you! We meet on Monday and Tuesday night’s to play and would greatly encourage female players to come join in. The tables were turned in the Grand Final when DOOLEYS defeated Wentworthville 7 – 5 to take home the inaugural C Grade - Bill Hart Memorial Shield. The shield will be displayed in the trophy cabinet in the near future. There is a fee of $2.00 per game and all proceeds go to the Westmead Children’s Hospital. To date we have raised over $1500 from the current season. The winners of the Doubles receive a $20 DOOLEYS EFTPOS card and the Runners up a $10 card, while the winner of the Singles match receives $30 and Runner-up $20 cards. The team members were: Alex Lo, Clarence Ho, Farhan Khan, Franco Di. Matteo, Ben Chan, Steve Martin, Ivan Fung, Hai Long and a 9th member Lallee was forced to drop out in the early stage of the competition. The Intra Club Competition will run until Thursday 18 December, then break until early 2015. The Western Districts competition will commence in late February or early March, dates to be decided. The Club is also looking at other competitions in which its members can participate. 34 YOURS DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015 y a Pl foot e r a B ! s l Bow 2 hours of Bowls! $10 per person or $5 per person with a function booking* Park Regents For bookings and enquiries please contact Club Reception on 9644 2384 *Terms & Conditions apply.
