Wednesday Social Bowls.
Last Wednesday’s fine and warm spring weather saw 34 bowlers shape up for Nominated Pairs. In first place sharing $130.00 and a drink card each were Greg Green and Andy Lefevre. In second place and sharing $70.00 was the team of Peter Lidgerwood, Kerry Kinnane, and John Bell who made up a rink of triples, due to uneven entry numbers. The losing Rink Consolation Prize went to Allan Goudge and Doug Wheeler who shared $40.00. The first Lucky Number prize went to Peter Lidgerwood who pocketed $30.00, and the second Lucky Number went to Col Withers who collected $20.00. Just a reminder that single entries are still welcome, as are visitors from surrounding clubs and further afield. Visitors and single entries please include a contact telephone number next to your name on the entry sheet at the Bowls Office.
