Since my first post I have accomplished a lot at my internship!
Bowls WA had their Annual Awards Night a few weeks ago, and I was given many tasks to help out with. I had exciting tasks such as creating the Award Night Program Guides, VIP Table name cards and even the award winner envelopes. Unfortunately due to my own part-time job commitments, I was unable to make the actual event – Looking through all the photos, it was definitely a big night for all who went to the Burswood Entertainment Complex!
Bowls WA have also given me full responsibility for writing their monthly e-newsletters. Their e-newsletters normally consist of 2 A4 pages of information, and are not only emailed to their e-mailing list, but these are also archived on their website for all clubs to view. So far my e-newsletters have consisted of information on competition news, game rule changes, correct shoes for play, charity cake bakes, government grant offers and plenty more. The diversity of each newsletter is great, and really gets me working on my writing skills. It is definitely one of the better tasks I have been given at my internship!
Bowls WA currently do not have a strong social media policy in place; as they do not currently utilise social media as much as they would like. So, my supervisor gave me the task of collaborating with Bowls Australia and writing Bowls WA a social media policy. After researching fellow sporting organisations and their current policies, and using Bowls Australia’s social media policy as a guide, the process was actually quite easy. I finished writing the policy, and this has been sent off to my supervisor and Bowls Australia for approval – once this has been approved, Bowls WA can then start utilising social media to is maximum potential!
Until my next blog.. have fun at your internships!

Hi Lauren,
It sounds like you get some really good hands on expereince at your placement. Creating things such as the award night program guides would be a great learning expereince and writing their monthly e-newsletter is also a great opportunity because you get to put to use your writing skills. I'm not that surprised that Bowls WA dont have much of a social media policy in place but in order to reach a wider audience it's an extremely good idea. It sounds like you have learnt a lot from your placement!
Lauren,
Your placement sounds fantastic and you are obviously learning alot.
Its so interesting hearing from someone who is in a completely different industry to me and learning of the different tasks you are undertaking in your placement!
hope it continues to be fantastic, the awards night sounds like you put in alot of effort!
Congrats!
