47 Days Before We Leave

We are less than 7 weeks away from leaving for Israel!!

It will be a very busy time leading up to our departure, with both the Victorian & NSW Governments hosting farewell functions at the respective Government Houses, as well as synagogue services in Melbourne, Sydney & Perth.

We also have team meetings & uniform distribution nights.

Training Weekend in Sydney

Last Easter weekend, the three Melbourne members of the Australian Maccabiah Tenpin Bowling team (namely myself, Tony Aarons & Lisa Benedykt), travelled up to Sydney for a couple of days training.

For those unaware, the whole team comprises:
Women - Lisa Benedykt, Debbie Sachs (captain), Lena Sachs, Kerri Schwartz, Jackie Vilensky.
Men - Tony Aarons, Matthew Doobov, Joel Ninyo, Phil Sachs (captain), Josh Small, Daniel Zalcman.
Our team manager is Myer Zamek.

After quite a few issues at Melbourne Airport on Good Friday morning, we arrived in Sydney a little late, and went straight to Tenpin City in Lidcombe for our afternoon training session.

Phil & Debbie Sachs were kind enough to open up their home that evening for a great barbeque and team bonding session.

We backed up on Saturday morning for another training session at Lidcombe, before it was time for the southerners to head home.

A great start to what shapes to be a great team heading to Israel in July.
