INDOOR BOWLS

Grenfell Indoor Bowls is still getting the same number of bowlers of a Tuesday afternoon and last Tuesday we finished up with only one shot difference in the scores.

Starting time is 1.30pm with names to be in by 1pm, if we all keep to these times it makes it a lot easier for the selectors to have the teams ready and get started somewhere near on time.

The district meeting that was to be held on Sunday July 8 in Cowra has been put back one week and will now be held on Sunday July 15.

The Country Championships are now wound up and Western Rivers have finished a fair bit of discussion will need to go on regarding finances on hand and a new committee formed to continue our district as a group for friendship bowling.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON YOUR REGIONAL SPORT PLAN

Community members and sporting groups across the Cootamundra electorate are invited to have their say on key local strategies developed to improve the delivery and planning of grassroots local sport over the next five years.

Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said draft regional plans have been developed to assist grass roots sport participation across the region by providing targeted sports programs and facility development for community members to enjoy.

"Across our electorate there are three plans, Central West and Orana, Riverina Murray and South East and Tablelands," Ms Cooke said.

"We're really taking a big picture approach here and thinking about the strengths and needs of each individual region.

“It's a wonderful opportunity to have your ideas heard about how different facilities or programs could improve our sporting landscape and make it easier to get involved and thrive."

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said the plans draw on concepts developed by the Australian Sports Commission.

"This is an important first step in the process of gathering community feedback to ensure that we invest in the right mix of sports facilities that meet the needs of unique communities," Mr Barilaro said.

"Nine Sport and Active Recreation plans have been developed with 30 - 40 strategies, inclusive of proposed initiatives specific to each of the regional areas."

Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said key proposals in the plans like the 'stay in your sport' coach education program will encourage promising your stars to continue with their chosen sport.

"We are also looking to attract more valued sporting events to regional NSW, plan female-friendly sporting facilities and establish hubs to support multi-purpose sports."

Feedback is invited by Thursday 19 July 2018 at the Office of Sport website: https://sport.nsw.gov.au/regionalplans.
