The petition of members of and visitors to the Eton North Bowls Club Inc in the Mirani Electorate draws to the attention of the House that over the past three years the club has lost 15 members and suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of visiting bowlers due solely to the noise, excrement, health and environmental issues associated with flying foxes, in the immediate vicinity of the bowling green, thus rendering the club remarkably less financial.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to expedite the process of flying foxes to a more suitable location as has already been identified by the residents of North Eton.
