A new year is here and I hope you all had a nice relaxing break!
A few things to run through for the new season. Most notable is the changes to the end of year. The end of year final has been scrapped following 3 years of very low entries. I understand it is a tough time of the year and people have many commitments which makes it hard. I appreciate the support of those who have been able to attend and have made it a fun weekend. It is certainly something we will look to reinstate in the future.
Fees
Due to rising costs, we have needed to make changes for the first time in 3 years to our fees. For 2013 the following prices will be in effect:
Membership - $70 Single (Shirt & discounted rate at all events) $100 Double (2 Shirts and discounted rate for 6 entries total)
Event Fees - $100 (Members) $120 (Non Members)
Rankings
Rankings points will continue to be assigned to Male & Female VSS Members at each of the 5 events. At the end of the Series there will be prize payouts to the top 5 Males & Top 3 Females. This may be extended further based on membership numbers. Amounts to be advised by Event 3.
Calendar
Avoiding clashes for the start of the year is a nightmare. Between Ranked Adult, Ranked Youth, Ranked Seniors, State Championships and Accredited events, there is something on every weekend from 25th January - 6th April. In that time frame we usually hold 2 VSS events. The end result is 2 Sunday's need to be picked that have the least impact on our field of bowlers. Taking into consideration the location of certain events, how many bowlers it will effect and how it suits the framework in which the VSS operates, the calendar is as follows:
Event 1 - Mentone - Sunday 10th February 201 (Clashes with 1st Sunday of State Championships)
Event 2 - Geelong - Sunday 24th March 2013 (Clashes with Canberra Seniors Cup)
Event 3 - Chirnside Park - Sunday 26th May 2013 (Clashes with WA Seniors Cup)
Event 4 - Point Cook - TBA (Late July 2013)
Event 5 - Epping - TBA (Late October/Early November)
Event 4 & 5 dates will be finalised once I have details and dates for State team roll-offs, Nationals and other events at that time of year.
Please let me know if there are any issues with the dates. Memberships can be paid at the first event or by direct deposit. For more details either PM me on here or email me at Luke@Oztenpin.com.au
Look forward to seeing you all at the first event! Remember, last year filled up early so get those names down! Event page will be up by Friday this week.
