WEATHER permitting, Friday Frolic will be on this Friday for anyone wishing to participate in a short game of bowls for one hour.
This is a social game and we welcome any interested persons, whatever their bowling abilities may be, with Friday Frolic being an ideal opportunity to give bowls a try.
Entry is $5, with all who play having the chance of winning the jackpot, which has slowly risen to be a nice bonus for one lucky team if your number is drawn out.
Names must be in by 2.30pm for a 3pm start, with hot food, happy hour drinks or a hot cuppa waiting for you in the clubhouse after the game, with raffle prizes also waiting to be won.
Correction to last weeks news, the mini tournament to be held next Friday, June 13, will commence at 2pm, not 3pm, so that the games will be finished before the evening chill sets in.
Enter your triples team or make a single entry by 1pm to be in the draw, with entry being $30 per team or $10 per single for this two bowl triples event.
The usual Friday activities will still take place in the clubhouse after the games and the jackpot draw will be up for grabs.
There will be good prizemoney to be won, with $120 per team for the winners and $60 per team for the runners up.
Don’t let Friday the 13th put you off – many believe it to be lucky.
Ring your entries through to Bill King on 0428 324 083 or the Swan Hill Bowls Club on 5032 1772, or alternatively, you can enter via the sheet on the notice board.
