The day will start with an opening ceremony at 12.15pm, with afternoon tea to be served after the second game and all raffle proceeds to be donated to RSL Legacy.

The jackpot has risen above $100 and all those who play bowls are in with a chance of winning when everyone adjourns to the clubhouse after the game to enjoy the happy-hour drinks, hot snacks and the chance to try their luck with Mick’s raffle prizes.

A reminder to all bowlers that annual subscriptions are now due and can be paid at the bar.
