CONGRATULATIONS
Firstly I would like to thank all competitors for making the effort in bowling what is a great event on the Aussie Calender
There were 24 bowlers in the Skins on Friday which was fantastic and by the looks everyone had a fun but serious time
Squad A fielded 14, Squad B 44 & Squad C 36 entries respectively (94 in total)could see the scoring was high and the cuts were not going to be that easy to make
Tony Murray was an outstanding winner and thouroughly deserved his win. To all other placegetters congratualtions.
I had 3 incentive awards to give out, which wasn't to be an easy task
Natlie Shelley and Sally Kerr received a Melbourne Cup Spot in 2003, Michael Zentveld received the Perth Cup 2003 spot and i couldnt help but give a Brunswick Spot to Glen Loader
All 4 conducted themselves in an outstanding manner all weekend, as did all competitors.
Personally I would like to thank sincerely Graham Williams from Total bowling who by all accounts did another outstanding job of running the event over the Web, thx Graham
To Ian Nicolls, if you havent yet seen Ian's score keeping prowess's well then you have surely missed something special.
Ian I thank you as without your efforts my weekend would have been alot more hectic, just dont see how it could have run without you being here.
And to all other tournaments out there who dont use Ian give him a call drop him a line and get him at your next event.
To STEVE JONES, RON BICKERSTAFF & ALAN CHAN from BRUNSWICK a HUGE thanks to you 3 gentlemen. Without your continued generous support this event would not be the great success it was.
The field was based on 120 entries and we received 94, however the prizefund WAS NOT adjusted and that thanks must come from us all to those fine men at Brunswick.
Alan Chan a visitor to our shores arrives first thing Saturday morning and worked tirlessly amongst all bowlers, not just competitors that weekend but to alot of my League bowlers and I thank you for that Alan. He left dinner on the Sunday night to go back and watch one of my juniors bowl league and lend a hand, now thats dedication, really REALLY hoping you will be back next year Alan.
Finally to all my staff from in the Restaurant, to the Tech's, the reception staff, lane marshalls and my juniors who tirlessly kept the centre clean, thanks guys for a fantastic weekend, again making my weeend run that lot smoother
I look forward to seeing you all return to what will be a bigger and better Brunswick Australian Cup
Finally I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Healthy and safe NEW YEAR
regards
Alan Skupin
