2. I started bowls at the age of eleven and I am in grade 11 at Centurion High School. 3. I try to be on the practice green from Monday to Friday, also spending weekends on the green taking part in district and club competitions. Mike’s ultimate goal is to successfully represent the SA Open team and become the number one player in the country. Mike says: “This is not just a dream, I believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it – you’ll achieve it.” MIKE’S ACHIEVEMENTS: 2008 Black & White Singles: Runner-up 2008 SA Elite Training: Selected as part of group 2008 BGN Presidents Singles: Selected to compete 2008 Botswana Pairs: Awarded player of tournament 2009 SA Jnr Masters: Was selected to compete 2008/09 SA Silver Squad: Selected as a member 2009 BGN Masters tournament Selected to play These young players are the future of our game. We MUST nurture and support them! SUID-KAAP ONTWIKKELINGSPROJEK Met die oog op die toekoms is besluit op ‘n ontwikkelings-inisiatief om rolbal onder die breër gemeenskap bekend te stel maar toe te spits op die jeug en meer spesifiek diegene wat minder bevoorreg is. Om volhoubaarheid te verseker, verg dit, afgesien van toegewyde afrigting, genoegsame fondse vir die voorsiening van fasiliteite, toerusting, uitrusting, vervoer, ens. Daar is dus ‘n vennootskap met die plaaslike stadsraad aangegaan wat hulp verleen en skenkings is ook uit ander bronne verkry. Die projek is verder gevoer deur: (a) Onderhoude (om samewerking te vra en uitvoerbaarheid te bepaal) met die Depart. van Onderwys, skoolhoofde, en sport-onderwysers. (b) Omdat Rolbal relatief onbekend was, is ‘n kort video vervaardig van hoe rolbal deur juniors gespeel word. Dit is saam met ‘n video van ‘n internasionale wedstryd aan die personeel en leerders van vyf skole vertoon. (c) Die teikengroep is leerders in graad tien en moontlikes in graad nege en elf wat werklik belangstel en bereid is om te werk en deursettingsvermoë vertoon. Hulle moet verkieslik nie aan ‘n ander sportsoort wat tyd verg deelneem nie en gewoonlik het die matrieks te veel ander verpligtinge. Die mikpunt is om daardie leerders met besondere potensiaal end-uit te ondersteun en op die lang termyn vir rolbal te behou. Page----2 of 6 (d) Twee skole het reeds voluit ingeskakel en na vyf maande is daar tans 18 kinders wat gereeld een of twee keer per week afgerig word. ‘n Seuns- en ‘n dogterspan is ook reeds gekies om in Julie aan die inter-distrikte onder negentien kompetisie deel te neem. ‘n Welkome byvoordeel van die projek is die belangstelling wat enkele skoolhoofde en onderwysers toon om ook te begin speel en hopelik sal die ouers ook later betrek word. Met die entoesiasme van die huidige deelnemers en die publisiteit wat verkry is begin ander ook nou belangstel. Die visie is om ‘n volwaardige Rolbal Akademie te stig met behoorlike akkommodasie en fasiliteite. Slegs die eerste stappe is nou geneem, dit hou belofte in maar baie werk en ondersteuning is nodig om die ideaal te verwesenlik.

Boland: KOMMENTAAR VAN ‘JACK UP BOWLS’ REDAKSIE: Boland het ‘n ‘ ster Distrik’ geword tov Ontwik. Dit is verstommend om die vordering daar te sien! In slegs 3 jaar het die getal O/19 by die proewe van 8 tot 40 gegroei. Van 1 span in 2007 tot 4 spanne in 2009! Baie geluk aan die Boland Uitvoerendekomitee vir hulle goeie bestuur sowel as die afrigters en keurders! Leon Meyer skryf: Boland het geweldige groei onder die onder 19‘s gehad soveel so dat die keurders gemaklik 4 spanne kon kies vir die onder 19 toernooi in die Suid-Kaap. Daar is besluit om hierdie jaar dit anders te doen en het die proewe oor 2 dae gehou by die gasvrye rolbalklub van Bredasdorp. Die besigheidsligas gaan voort hier in die Boland en word al hoe meer gewild. By sommiges klubs is hulle reeds vol bespreek vir die volgende seisoen. Verder sorg dit vir goeie inkomstes vir die klubs. BOLAND ONTWIKKELING DRAMATIES GEGROEI! Kom ons kyk wat het gebeur by ontwikkeling: 2007 Boland sukkel om spelers vir die 0/19s toernooi in Bloemfontein te kry. 2008 8 Spelers en reserwes maklik gekry 2009 Boland het meer as 40 onder-19 spelers om van te kies. Op 18 April het ons ‘n Weskus-Jeugdag gehou by Langebaan Golf- en Sportklub. Daar was so 8 spelers, waarvan 5 nuwe Rooikaartspelers is. Gedurende Mei was Boland se O/19 en O/25 proewe op Bredasdorp. Dit was ‘n riem onder die hart om te sien dat 21 O/19 spelers deelgeneem het. Die keurders was beïndruk met die talent en het besluit om vier O/19 spanne te stuur. CALEDON SE NAGREEKS: Na maande van beplanning het die Caledon-nagreeks met groot sukses gedurende Februarie plaasgevind. Border Bowls: Reg Misselhorn reports: Official opening of the Schoombee Bowls Club The Border Bowls President, Frank Naude, accompanied by five members of his Executive attended, the official opening of the Schoombee Bowls Club on Saturday 2 May 2009 which was also attended by over 50 bowlers and guests. The Schoombee sports facilities were originally formed in 1937 by a local farmer and his wife, Mr & Mrs Marais, who donated 1 morgen of land for the sole use for sporting activities for the local farmers. Page----3 of 6 Unfortunately ready funds were not available but the local community went ahead in good faith, and over the past three years the farmers contributed their time, labour and funds to establish the new green. A new mower was required and an appeal was made for financial contributions at a meeting of the members, of which R23 000 was pledged at the meeting. The club has 33 members, 2 of whom are under 19, one of which has given up his normal school sporting activities to concentrate on bowls. We can only take our hats off to this farming community for their foresight and commitment, and trust this great endeavour may instil a better and stronger support of Bowls South Africa by the long established clubs and districts. Bowls Gauteng North: Prieur du Plessis reports The "Bring a Buddy" is such a successful project that BGN Clubs have thus far increased their membership by 51 as a direct result. A rather cold looking group shortly before the start of the Bring a Buddy finals held on 3 May. The average age in the district is somewhere in the 70’s clubs need a wake up call if they plan to be around in five years time! Bowls Southern Cape: Sien ook berig op bl 2 Lise de Villiers skryf: ‘Rolbal KOOK op die platteland’ In Beaufort-Wes (Suid-Kaap) is rolbal besig om die dorp aan die praat te hou. 'n Sakeliga wat gehou word tussen 12 besighede oor 'n periode van 6 weke is baie suksesvol. Die liga word op Woensdagaande onder spreiligte gespeel. Die verrigtinge elke aand word ook afgesluit met 'n braai. Nuwe lede word gewerf. Dit is belangrik vir die sukses van so 'n projek dat die deelnemers gereeld ingelig word oor wat hul moet doen om lid te raak, bv as hy aansluit gedurende die liga hoef hy nie die aansluitingsfooi te betaal en die verlaagde ledegeld is van toepassing. Gratis afrigting word ook aangebied.
