SOME bowlers have continued to brave the weather, playing Wednesday Social Bowls and Friday Frolics. Winners for June 22 were Peter Dobson, Kessada Smith and Russell Fields, while on June 29 Vic Plumridge and Rod Wardle were victorious. For those interested, names are to be in by 12.30pm for a 1pm start each week.
Friday Frolics is still the most popular event, which starts at 3pm, with names to be in by 2.30pm. The jackpot is always up for grabs and last Friday Graeme Clarke, Alex and Kessada Smith were the lucky winners. All, , including new bowlers or anyone wishing to give bowls a try, are welcome to join either of these games. Friday evening after bowls is a social gathering – come in and enjoy a hot or cold drink, hot nibbles or try your luck in the raffles.
Congratulations to Graeme Clark on his 90th birthday. Graeme held a pizza night at the club recently, to celebrate his special milestone with family and friends.
Alan Marshman and Graeme teamed up with Max Renney to attend the Racecourse Bowls Club Tasco Triples on Sunday, June 19th, with the trio scoring the highest number of points to win the event.
Also, a reminder that memberships for the 2022-23 season can now be paid at the bar.

Sixteen players turned out on June 29 in very cold conditions to have a game of social bowls, with the winners being Helen Jobling, Basil McDonald and Terry Haw. Hopefully, as the new week starts, the weather will be a little kinder to us all.
