SWAN HILL
LAST Friday saw a good roll-up for Friday Frolic, with 20 bowlers enjoying a friendly game and visitors from neighbouring clubs welcomed with open arms.
The jackpot is on the climb, with no team coming up and the lucky number possibly reaching $100 today.
Remember, everyone that participates in Friday Frolic will have a chance of winning both bowls and the jackpot, but make sure your name is in the draw by 2.30pm and be ready to start play by 3pm.
All are welcome to join in, with no experience necessary and bowls are available for anyone wishing to give it a try.
It is pleasing to see others, who are not participating in the game, coming along and joining in the social side of the afternoon, whether it be for a happy hour drink, a hot tea or coffee and a snack, as well as a friendly chat.
Mick’s raffle draws create quite a bit of banter as to who will take home the meat trays, wine, chocolates or one of the many other prizes on offer.
Please note in your diaries the Swan Hill Bowls Club opening day, any-combination triples on Sunday, August 27, which will also be combined with our RSL Diggers day.
Play will start at 12.30pm, with excellent prizemoney on offer, with an RSL representative to conduct an opening ceremony prior to play commencing.
