Congratulations and well done Chris on becoming the 2008 Champion of the Mick Camarda Memorial Classic.
I would like to thank all bowlers who travelled to the Illawarra and, of course the locals, I hope you had a good time. I must mention our Junior Bowlers who outdid themselves, not only with their bowling but also the way they conducted themselves. I know this has already been said, but too much is never enough when it comes to thanking Janelle and her staff for their assistance in the running of this tournament. I must also say that Head Tech Gavin and his team made sure the machinery was kept up and running smoothly, which was an effort in itself, what a team we have at the Illawarra.
On a personal note I was quite disappointed with the final count of 30 bowlers, which meant the prize fund was depleted. The original count was 42 but due to work commitments and illness some bowlers had to pull out and the rest just didn't show, which was quite frustrating when waiting for check in.
All in all though it was a good weekend and a big thank you to the committee for their time and effort - not forgetting our Sponsors.
Thanks again to all the bowlers, we sincerely hope you enjoyed your weekend and will come again next year.
