Come 4pm, when the air begins to get a chill about it, is when we head into the clubhouse for happy hour drinks or a hot drink and snack, with Mick’s raffles lined up, so buy your tickets and try your luck.
Friday, August 2 will be our next Friday mini-tournament when bowlers are able to enter their own team for our any-combination triples event, commencing at 2pm.
