The seventh round of the Waikato-Bays Championship League for Intermediate players took place at Te Awamutu on Saturday the 12th. Winning both sessions and the overall earned Mark Thomson and Jeffrey Chang of Hamilton the maximum score of nine points for the day. They also regained the lead in the competition from their co-IP-reps, Hattie Curtiss and Bruce Ballard of Waihi/Katikati to edge ahead on the ladder. With just two more rounds to go on 9th and 30th of October this competition could be pretty close.

The Waikato Bays Regional Committee applied to Pub Charity Limited for funding to assist our Inter-Provincial representative team with accommodation in Dunedin at the end of the year. We are very pleased to announce that the application was successful, having receiving $6653.74, which was the amount we applied for, minus the GST component.

Our committee is extremely grateful to Pub Charity as their grant ensures we are able to fund other activities rather than siphon off our funding in this area.

The Waikato Bays sponsored a seminar for budding club and tournament directors at Matamata in the weekend.

Alan Turner led the seminar imparting his wealth of directorial knowledge to 22 who attended.
