…in with the 'NEW'

It is with great pleasure I that have joined Bowls WA as Operations Manager following Aaron’s move to Bowls Australia. I wish Aaron well in his new role as National BowlsLink Manager as he continues to build an already great system to make it more and more functional across all aspects of the sport.

For myself, my time in the Regional Bowls Manager role, for Bowls Australia, some 8½ years was just amazing. Working amongst clubs to help them grow – seeing them succeed whether that be growing membership in some small way, to seeing a club survive and thrive into the future – it is a very rewarding role.

During my time in the role, I had opportunities that I could only have dreamed of. The Rinkside Live commentary where we were able to build an amazing rapport with the audience – I spent days on end in people’s loungerooms and on people phones calling some of the best bowls action you will ever see. A privilege and an honour.

The Bowls Australia team is a passionate group of people working hard to promote our sport and help clubs take that next step.

If you have yet to engage with your local Regional Bowls Manager I strongly suggest doing so – you’ll enjoy the conversation at the very least and you might just emerge with some great ideas to take your club forward.

I look forward to liaising with all of you in my new role with Bowls WA. Big shoes to fill no doubt, but if the first few weeks are anything to go by, there is plenty to look forward to.
