Turn the dial forward to a new week, and pleased to report all our travellers have returned to base safe ‘n sound!
Our Pennants teams have represented us at state level. Congratulations on your achievement: Brenda Davies, Marja Iffland, Betsy Johnstone, Rhona Went, Liz Byrne, Merilyn Rodgers, Cherie Frame and Maree Grant – you’ve done us proud!
Today’s casual social bowls program allowed everyone to come back down to earth!
The handicappers were switched on, as all games were very close!
Elaine Miller/Lorraine Baker/Heather Harvey fast-forwarded to a good lead and took the win over Sue Maddison/Chris Cox/Rose Mitchell, despite a strong finish by the latter.
Fran White/Frances Charlton/Lea Orr/Betsy Johnstone/Rhona Went had their aerial tuned in and spun up a narrow win over Jan McPhee/Lynn Ryan/Marja Iffland/Maria Willcockson, despite some mid-game interference!
Gwenda Carty hit the right button when it counted and enjoyed a one-point win over Merilyn Rodgers and Di Howell.
Valmai Westcott/Kay Craft/Liz Byrne scanned several channels without result, only getting their best reception and scoring the winning points during the last few ends against Kim Evans/Carol Reed/Brenda Davies.
Money flew faster than LPs could turn as the club draws took place. The numbers spun up for Gwenda, Lea, Merilyn and Maria!
On Tuesday, 29th March it is our Easter-themed Trading Table. Gifts to the value of $10.
