Despite wet weather causing the cancellation of three events, the Central Coast Past Presidents Association had a most successful year which culminated with today's (6th November 2022) AGM.  The Committee was returned unopposed with Ian Jarratt President, Gwen Jarratt and Martin O'Malley Vice-Presidents, Larraine Cooper Secretary, Les Sharp Treasurer and Terry Causby, Pat Reynolds and Sandra O'Malley elected to the Committee.   

President Ian reported that in April the group travelled to Pittwater RSL Club by ferry having a most enjoyable day despite the weather.  The CCPPA had an excellent trip away in June for a few days to Soldiers Point and Fingal Bay Sports Clubs who provided excellent greens and hospitality,   In July they once again had their famous "Christmas in July" at Club Umina.  In August the men played the annual fixture against Bowls NSW and for the first time in 10 years won the event.   Bowls NSW has now disbanded it's General Services Committee which means that this will be the last of these fixtures and as President Ian pointed out,  this leaves the trophy in the hands of the CCPPA forever.  The Ladies had their own day at the same time with out the men and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

The next event is Christmas in July, December, November on 20th November 2022 at Ettalong Memorial BC. 

The Central Coast Past President's Association at it's AGM today (7/11/2021) returned the same executive committee as was elected last year.  Only difference was new Committee man Martin O'Malley who replaced retiring committee member Pam Price.

A group of 40 members met at Umina Beach BC for the AGM.  President Ian Jarratt advised that despite the issues with Covid 19 the CCPPA did hold four successful events last year and is looking forward to a full calendar in 2021/22.  Last year their weekend bus trip had to be called off and deposit monies refunded due to travel restrictions but there will be another bus trip planned in 2022.    

After the AGM the members hit the greens for a game of bowls, then came in for lunch and a chat.  It was indeed a very pleasant day. 

The new committee is:

President: Ian Jarratt

Vice President:  Gwen Jarratt

Secretary:  Larraine Cooper

Treasurer:  Les Sharp

Committee Members:  Terri Causby, Pat Reynolds, Martin O'Malley.

The next event is the Christmas Party at Ettalong Memorial BC on Sunday 21st November 2021.

We trust that with Covid 19 travel and other restrictions easing that the CCPPA have a much better year for the end of 2021 and the first 9 months of 2022.

The 2021/22 Committee: Pat Reynolds, Larraine Cooper, Ian Jarratt, Terri Causby, Martin O'Malley, Les Sharp, and Gwen Jarratt.

There is always some bean counting to do as Treasurer Les Sharpe checks to costs of the day with Secretary Larraine Cooper and President Ian Jarratt.   Alan Button, Pat Reynolds and Gwen Jarratt are in the background.

The Central Coast Past President's Association at it's AGM yesterday (1/11/2020) elected Ian Jarratt as President and wife Gwen as Vice President.  Ian and Gwen are both Past Presidents of Umina Beach Men's and Ladies Bowling Clubs.   In 2018 Ian was Bowls Central Coast volunteer of the Year 

Immediate Past President and the Association;s first Lady President, Larraine Cooper was elected as Secretary, a role which Larraine was in reality doing last year.  Les Sharp was re-elected as Treasurer.  

As one would expect from a Past President's Association the new committee is comprised of some very experienced bowls administrators:

President: Ian Jarratt
Vice President:  Gwen Jarratt
Secretary:  Larraine Cooper
Treasurer:  Les Sharp
Committee Members:  Terri Causby, Pat Reynolds, Pam Price

We trust that with Covid 19 restrictions easing that the CCPPA have a much better year in 2021.
