Next Friday, June 14, there will be a change for the second Friday of the month, with the club holding an any-combination two-bowl triples event, consisting of two games of 10 ends, starting at 2pm.
Entries need to be in by 1pm for the draw to be done, with teams accepted as well as single entries, with entry set at $10 per player and casual dress.
