Ford quits as our sponsor - stuff them.

Woy Woy Socialist’s long term sponsor Ford has dramatically withdrawn as our naming rights sponsor.

A spokesman for Ford said “Woy Woy keeps putting up the price of sponsorship every year and giving us fewer and fewer results. The time has come to say enough is enough.”

President Julia is gobsmacked. “I alwes thought Ford would stay with us, why wouldn’t they? Despite the cost of sponsoring us going up every year and the fact Ford is selling no cars to our members seems irrelevant.  I’m not sure what sort of business they run over there. I'm glad I drive Kevin's second hand imported Prius anyway.”

Wayne's budget sees club to eventually achieve record revenues protecting record expenditure

Treasurer Wayne announced our budget for next year at our committee meeting at Reg’s house last night.

Wayne said a massive write down in revenue was to blame. He had forecast club revenue at $3,000,000, up from $5,010 last year after our record year of $5,252 in 2010-11. A massive revenue shortfall of $2,994,748 has meant poor Wayne has a large gap in his budget.

To his credit Wayne said he wouldn’t sacrifice the club’s key programs, Julia’s Junior Socialist Lawn Bowls Academy and the 25 Disabled parking bays being installed. Vovo Biscuits and International Roast Coffee are now cut as is the baby bowlers bonus paid to members who give birth (to anything).   

Wayne says he expects our budget to come back in to surplus in 5 years when revenues are projected to hit a record $14,600,000.

Selection policy

During my recent visit to our sister club the Port Moresby Communist Lawn Bowls Club, their President had a crack at our selection policy.

Not on Mr. O'Neill.

Our pol-a-ceees are very transparent.

We will not let bowlers from other countries get promoted to our teams unless they have played for our ninth team in Nauru for six years.

Only after that period of time will they get a chance to play with Woy Woy.

We'll pay all their accomodation, give them a range of tax free handouts and give them free union membership once they arrive in Woy Woy. They'll start in our 8ths, but if they are no good then we'll promote to the firsts and give them more benefits.

Couldn't be clearer Mr. O'Neill and we'll give our great friends in PNG more privileges, they can play for 10 years before we take them to Woy Woy. 

We can win the Premiership

President Julia announced today the Woy Woy Socialists can win the Central Coast Bowls Council premiership.

“I alwes thought we could win the Premiership. It hasn’t really been our focus as the committee’s been busy preserving ourselves for the past few years, but if win more games than anyone else we can win the Premiership”.

Truly inspiring and insightful words from our leader.

Our first team lost to the Wyong RSL failing again to win an end and remain winless on the bottom of the ladder.

Happy May Day from Julia and Wayne

We marched up and down Railway Street, went to the pub, then went home exhausted. We had truly earned our sickies today. Happy May Day Comrades.
