CSTA State League Review Meeting + More

Dear CSTA members,

State League Review Meeting
The CSTA committee will be holding a meeting this Friday to discuss the Winter 2005 season that has just pasted and the Summer 2006 season which is 6 week season planned for early January (replacing the state league weekend). I would like to ask that those who did not respond earlier with 1 positive experience from the Winter 2005 season and 1 area for improvement for the Summer 2006 season, to please reply so that we can discuss any issues at the meeting on Friday. This will help us improve your club for the future.

Border Challenge
On Saturday 3rd September, SA and VIC fought it out at the Border Challenge in Mildura. Through the miserable rain South Australia came out strong winning all three of the Men's Open games and two games to one in the Women's Open, while Victoria had a clean sweep in the Mixed Open division. As expected it was a tight encounter with most games only separated by one or two scores.
