SWAN HILL

LAST weekend the challenge was on between the Fireys and the Bush.

The Fireys team came from the Fire Rescue Bowling Club, Moonee Ponds and the boys from the bush were made up from local clubs including the Swan Hill Bowls Club.

The Bush team were determined not to let the city boys get the better of them and prevailed as outright winners by 35 shots.

The best winning rink over the series consisted of, John Caldwell, David Timmins (Murray Downs) and Kane Kendall (Swan Hill).

Thanks to our capable ladies for lunches served on both days that were enjoyed by all.

Please note that the Annual General Meeting will be held Monday, May 30 at 1:30pm as originally planned.

Friday Frolic will be on today, names need to be in by 2:30pm for a 3pm start, this will be followed by social activities in the clubhouse.

Also take note, that with the cooler weather settling in, social bowls will revert to a 1pm start from this coming Wednesday with names to be in by 12:30pm.
