As the opening of the 2005/2006 bowls season approaches Classic Residences Brighton and Menzies Malvern are once again Major Sponsors of bowls clubs in the southern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Over the past five years we have developed a wonderful partnership with these clubs which has been of enormous mutual benefit. Bowls clubs are very dependent on good corporate sponsors for their continued support, and our involvement has been instrumental in the clubs being able to continue to provide their members with the amenities so cherished by members and visitors alike. Becton has always recognised the valuable contribution that we can make to improving the quality of life for all, and our continued sponsorship of the bowls clubs and their members is real testimony to our corporate responsibility to the community. This coming bowls season will see the Classic Residences sponsorship flag flying high on an even greater number of clubs mastheads. We look forward to a highly successful season to all our many good friends in the bowls community.
