CEOFROM THE
Those attending the Bowls New Zealand Annual General Meeting in September saw the introduction of a set of behavioural values for bowls in New Zealand. The values have been developed over the last 12 months through a bottom up and staged approach with input from a range of interviews with over 30 coaches, administrators, senior and junior participants. The initial feedback was then developed by an appointed reference group and they have since been approved by the Board of Bowls New Zealand. They set the platform for how we engage with each other as we move through the many issues of change confronting our sport in the years ahead. They direct not what we do (that’s for the strategy and future whole of sport plans) but they highlight how we do it. I will be making presentations on the new values to Regional Forums over the next month and following that our Community Development Officers will be doing similar presentations to Partner Clubs and Centres. This is an important development for bowls and I encourage all readers to become familiar with our values which feature in this edition and on our website.
The Board have also signed off a new Code of Conduct for our sport which has application for all Bowls NZ events.
World Bowls have also approved a new Code for all International Events.
The purpose of both documents is to make it very clear that players competing at a National and International level are made aware of the standard of conduct expected of them and what the consequences are if the standard is breached. The codes spell out very clearly a players obligation under sportsmanship and explicitly spell out what is expected under playing to the best of their ability at all times, respect towards opponents and Event Officials ,integrity, discrimination and playing within the
Laws and the event conditions of play. The codes are complimentary to the values I have previously referred to. Full details of the Codes of Conduct can be viewed on our website.
It has been a good couple of months for the volunteers of our sport, with numerous volunteers being recognised through the Sport NZ regional awards as well as our own Bowls New Zealand National Awards. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners of the Bowls New Zealand National Awards and thank you for your contribution to our great sport, you can read about all of our winners in this issue.
With no rest to international competition, September saw the Trans Tasman contested at Lockleys Bowling Club, Adelaide. There was some close competition between the two nations throughout the three days and both teams will now be looking forward to the World Bowls Championships in November, which will also be held in Adelaide. Our bowls community are getting behind the Black Jacks in this pinnacle event.
The past few weeks National Coach Dave Edwards along with Howard Sandler and numerous regional coaches have been on the hunt for up and coming Black Jacks as they toured the country with the Under 18 Regional Camps. Those selected will go on to represent New Zealand in the Under 18 Trans Tasman which will be held next year.
Here in the Bowls NZ office we have welcomed two new staff to the team, Jill Blomfield and Chris Wilson. Jill will be running Finance and Events while Chris is our new National Participation and Development Manager. Sam McKean has also had a change of role moving to Administration Manager. A very warm welcome to our new staff.

TOWER Club of the YearBurnside Bowling Club Finalist: Waitoa Bowling Club
With compelling professionalism, sound business practices, relevant policy documents and a good governance structure in place it’s no wonder that Burnside Bowling Club have been awarded the TOWER Club of the Year award for the third time in five years.

Player of the YearJo Edwards Finalists: Mandy Boyd, Sandra Keith, Val Smith
The 2011-2012 Player of the Year has been awarded to Jo Edwards who has had an impressive year, proving her skills repeatedly on the international stage.

Young Player of the YearMandy Boyd Finalist: Andrew Kelly
Mandy has performed consistently well in the past season. After making the final in all four disciplines, a feat which has never been achieved before at the Hyundai National Open Championships Mandy was awarded the ‘Women’s Consistency Award’. She was then selected as a Black Jack for the 6 Nations event in which she as a part of the gold medal winning fours team.
Greenkeeper of the YearMike stanaway Finalist: Ray Hazelwood
After more than 22 years of dedicated service Mike has been an asset at the Carlton Cornwall Bowling Club. He rebuilt three greens in 2010 and worked to maintain them to the high standard required for the 2011-2012 Hyundai National Open Championships. Not stopping there Mike is a team player and is always willing to help other clubs.

The four Under 18 Regional Camps,
which have been held around the
country are all wrapped up after the
final one being held in Dunedin on 11
till 12 October.
Youth from around the country have
taken to the green to show off their skills
in the hope of being selected for the
Under 18 Trans Tasman team which will
take on Australia in March of next year.
National Coach Dave Edwards shares
what he is hoping to achieve from these
camps, “our three objectives are to work
on the skill levels of the players, trial for the
Trans Tasman while earmarking players for
the future, and to involve local coaches.”
With the high numbers and skill levels
of the attendees who turned out at each
of these camps the hard job now lies with
the selectors.
“It’s going to be a very difficult
decision for selectors” says Coach Howard
Sandler.
Although not yet 18 these highly
driven youth know exactly what they want
and are putting in the hard yards to get
there.
Auckland based Selina Goddard, from
Carlton-Cornwall Bowls, has spent her
yOUTH BOWLSALIVE ANd WELL IN NEW ZEALANd
life around bowls and was, as she puts it
“basically raised at a bowls club.” With a
passion which is hard to match Selina has
it all planned out.
“My goal is to get into a New Zealand
team and put on that black shirt. This
camp is a great pathway to that” she says.
Until then Selina will be working
towards the Hyundai National Open
Championships where she will be playing
with one of her biggest supporters, her
Mum. “She’s my mentor” says Selina,
who has coaxed her Mum into playing
pairs with her “I’m really looking forward
to playing with her.”
Tauranga South Bowling Clubs, Talor
Duncan is another of the many inspiring
youth who have their sights set on the
black shirt.
Drawing inspiration from Peter Belliss,
Talor is determined to continue improving
until he gets that perfect shot.
“Bowls means everything to me” he
says. “I live to play that perfect shot. It’s
why I get up in the morning . . . because I
love the sport.”
And what does he think of the camp?
“It’s a good idea and its good having
the first year and development players
together – it keeps you on your toes.”
With passionate, dedicated and driven
youth stepping up to the green it appears
youth bowls in New Zealand will be
growing from strength to strength!

TIGHT BATTLE
FOR TRANS TASMAN GLORy
New Zealand and Australia came
together on the greens of Adelaide
from 18-20 September in a tight battle
for Australasian supremacy.
The three tests were tight with both
the men’s and women’s series were tied
at one each after the first two days play.
It all came down to the final afternoon
session as things were still hanging in the
balance with the Aussies holding a slight
edge after the morning session on day
three. They then sealed the deal during
the afternoon session.
The Black Jacks had a dominating
start to the tournament with the men’s
side winning all four of their disciplines
on the first day. “Their performance was
outstanding and I think it is fair to say
that it is not often one country beats
another 4-0” beams National Coach Dave
Edwards.
The women’s side, not to be outshone,
had close games and took the win in the
pairs and fours with the golden duo of Jo
Edwards and Val Smith once again taking
to the green together, winning two of
their three games.
“I’ve enjoyed working with Jo again”
comments skip Val Smith “we’ve really
gelled.”
Test two saw the Aussies come out
firing as they tried to narrow the Blacks
Jacks lead. Following early morning
showers the Black Jacks struggled to
adjust to the green speeds giving the
Jackaroo’s enough of an edge to take five
of the eight games. This left the teams
evenly poised leading into the final days
play.
Carrying the momentum from the
second test the Australian side managed
to hold out the Kiwi’s on the final day.
Wins in the men’s pairs and the women’s
fours weren’t enough to hold off the
Australians from claiming the trophies.
“Naturally we were disappointed to
come home empty handed as far as the
trophies were concerned” said Edwards.
“There is great pride in the Black Jacks
team and we always seek to win and
bring home the bacon but we found the
Aussies just a little more on song then
what we were. However it was far from
one sided and we are still happy with our
performance with the big picture being
World Bowls in November.”
With spirits still high the Black Jacks
will finish their World Bowls preparation
by taking on the South Australian
Representative side before taking on the
world at World Bowls in November.

ON OUR SUPPPLIERSSPOTLIGHT
How has ISC Lenco been involved with
bowls in the past?
Many clubs will be familiar with
Lenco Apparel as suppliers of bowls club
uniforms for the last 20 years. We still
manufacture most of our clothing here in
Auckland, so we are able to cater for small
quantities and our quality is excellent.
Tell us about compression garments.
A compression garment is a firm
fitting garment that is worn to assist with
improving blood flow, to support and
reduce movement of the muscles during
exercise and assist with recovery. We have
available tops, pants and the very popular
compression socks.
How can wearing compression wear
help bowls players?
Compression garments assist with
improving blood flow and support
your muscles during playing and most
importantly assist with recovery of your
muscles. If players are finding that they
get sore muscles after playing, try wearing
our compression wear during and after
playing, you will be surprised at the results.
We have long and short sleeve tops, shorts
and pants in both means and women’s fit.
Our compression socks are ideal for
improving blood flow and reduce the
risk of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) so if
you are prone to calf cramps, tired and
achy legs, mild ankle or leg swelling, our
compression socks are sure to help. They
are also great to wear during long flights.
What makes ISC compression garments
different to other compression
products?
The ISC compression fabric is made
from recycled plastic bottles so is very eco
friendly. Also, it is 20% more durable and
retains its fit more than all competitors
tested.
How long do they last?
If worn up to three times a week they
should last at least 12-18 months
How are you helping the Black Jacks
achieve their World Bowls goals?
ISC Compression garments are
technical high performance garments
ensuring that the player recovers as
quickly as possible.
By wearing ISC Compression wear
during training or playing the Black Jacks
are able to recover quickly so that they
can train harder and play harder ensuring
a better performance and decreasing the
risk of injury.
How do we get more information?
Go to our website www.isclenco.co.nz,
you can order online and we are giving all
bowls club members a 20% discount off
normal retail price.

FOCUS ON UMPIRINGThank you to Michael Ayers of the BNZUC for this article.
When the jack is moved into the ditch it often causes confusion among players. This may be because there are as many laws for the jack as there are for the bowl. We take a closer look at some of them;
Law 29.2Once in the ditch the position of the jack should be marked
by a white marker placed vertically against the face of the bank or on top of the bank. In a sand ditch the jacks position should be marked by drawing a line, or in a synthetic or vegetation ditch should be marked with chalk.
Law 29.3, 29.3.1, 29.3.2The position of a jack in the ditch will be validly altered if
the jack is moved by: • A toucher in play • A non toucher partly on the rink and partly overhanging the
ditch, as long as part of the non toucher is still on the rink when it comes to rest after it has moved the jack.
Law 29.5If once it’s position has been marked there is further
movement of a jack in the ditch, it’s new position should be marked (as in 29.2) by moving the indicators or removing or re-drawing the lines as appropriate.
Law 33.3.3 If a jack in the ditch is displaced by the disturbance of
a dead bowl at rest in the ditch, it should be put back to its former position. Both skips or opponents in singles have to agree where the jack should be placed to, or declare the end
dead.
Law 33.5.3
If the jack is displaced by a non toucher entering the ditch,
an opponent or marker should put the jack back to its former
position.
DEAD JACK Law 30
There are several ways a jack is made dead. A jack, moved
by a bowl in play is dead if;
• Law 30.1.1 it passes above the face of the bank.
• Law 30.1.2 passes completely outside the side boundary of
the rink of play
• Law 30.1.3 comes to rest in any hollow in the face of the
bank
• Law 30.1.4 if it comes to rest less than 20metres from the
mat line.
Law 30.3
The skips or players in singles should decide if a jack is dead
or not as soon as they realise it is necessary. The decision can
still be made even if a number of bowls have been played after
the jack came to rest. If they cannot reach agreement they
should ask the umpire to make a decision.
Law 30.4
If the jack is dead then the end is dead and Law 31 will
apply. However for domestic play Member National Authorities
can decide not to have the end declared dead. Instead they can
decide to have the jack re-spotted in line with Law 15.5.

OF BOWLSVolunteers were out in force on
Sunday 14 October running Have a Go
days across the country.
26 people streamed through the gates
of Wakefield Bowling Club to give bowls a
go bringing with them the whole family,
and the dog!
“We were thrilled so many people
turned up, it was fantastic” beamed Have
a Go coordinator Margaret. “We have run
Have a Go before and usually have a good
response.”
With the help of the Waimea Weekly
newspaper, Wakefield advertised their
Have a Go day along with their community
bowls and Christmas Bowls programmes
in a two page spread. They followed this
up with a leaflet drop, radio advertising at
a local station and a load of word of mouth
advertising thanks to their members.
On the day all of their hard work paid
off with a club bustling full of people
ranging from nine years old to 73.
“Everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves” said Margaret. “We had
music playing as well, there was a lot
going on with a fun atmosphere.”
Have a Go day is all about bringing
people into your bowling club, especially
those who wouldn’t usually come along.
Exposing the community to the game
which we all love and showing them that
bowls truly is for all ages.
“The message got across that you
don’t have to be old to play bowls ... there
were people who thought they would
never play bowls and really enjoyed it.”
And they must have enjoyed
themselves, with four people signing up
as full members on the day and numerous
others coming back for community bowls.
“We pointed out to them the ability
to play weekends and nights and how
flexible bowls can be as well as how many
different formats there are. I think that’s
important, you’ve got to make it flexible
for all.”
So what’s Margaret’s secret to
success? “I think the thing is to have
enthusiastic club members and to
advertise, thats been our winning thing.”

You may have noticed that there has
been a change in writing style over
the past few editions of Upshot.
Some of you may also have dealt with
her when it comes to MIB, Have a Go,
Christmas Bowls or you may have seen her
facebook posts. Well today we are going
to finally introduce you to our Marketing
and Communications Assistant Nicole
Fearon. Nicole has been with Bowls NZ
since November last year, after successfully
graduating from Massey University with a
Bachelor of Business Studies in Marketing
and Sports Business Management.
STAFF PROFILE
NICOLE FEARONGrowing up in Palmerston North
Nicole, at the age of 4, had high
aspirations of becoming a rubbish truck
driver and then ending her career as a
four square owner somewhere close to
a beach. In between all of this Nicole has
found her way into the marketing office
at Bowls NZ and has been helping to
facilitate and manage all the marketing
and communications for our national
programmes among all the other work
that she is involved in.
Outside of the office Nicole is very
active in surf lifesaving in which she has
represented Mairangi Bay Surf Life Saving
Club. Throughout her 11 years in surf
Nicole has been involved in various roles.
Having a full time job and juggling surf
life saving is no easy task but Nicole has
managed to make it look like a piece of
cake. When asked what she likes about
Quick Facts:
Dream Destination: Middle East
Favourite Movie: Blood
Diamond
Favourite Book:
The White Masai by Corinne
Hofmann
Favourite Food: Eye Fillet
surf Nicole responded with “There are so
many different aspects which people can
be involved in. It’s great to be able to give
something back to the community and
help people, the club also becomes like a
second family”
In Bowls Nicole is looking forward to
the start of the international bowls events
in 2013 leading up to World Bowls 2016.
“It will be a good opportunity to showcase
the top level of the sport to New Zealand
and it is also exciting to be able to bring
this event to Christchurch and give the
community something to look forward
to” says Nicole.
It is approaching a year since Nicole
joined Bowls NZ and when asked what it’s
like working at Bowls Nicole, while typing
away on her computer, replies “to be
honest it’s been very busy and it has been
a huge learning curve.”
