Wednesday Social Bowls.
Last Wednesday saw a fair turnout of 33 players shape up for the weekly 3 Bowl Nominated Pairs. Free running greens and mild weather were the order of the day. The ladies were the winners on the day, with the team of Jill Lamson and Lynne Baxter securing first prize, and sharing $120.00. Second prize went to the combo of Greg Green and Andy Lefevre, who shared $80.00. The losing rink consolation prize went to the pairing of Noel Millar and Sue Evans who shared $40.00. The first Lucky Number Raffle prize of $20.00 went to Norm Windebank, and the second Lucky Number Raffle prize of $10.00 went to Greg Fisher. The Wednesday Social Bowls organisers assure us that there is still room on the greens for additional sides who would like to enter, it’s just a matter of entering your team names on the Bowls Office Notice Board. Visitors from other clubs and further afield are welcome, as are single entries. We would ask visitors and single entries to include a contact telephone number when placing your names on the entry sheets, at the Bowls Office.
Friday Social Bowls.
36 players fronted up last Friday, which wasn’t a bad turnout, considering that Friday was the entre to the King’s Birthday long weekend, with many people going away. The weather didn’t look promising on Friday morning, but by the time the games started the weather was remarkably fine. Play was north / south on both greens, and the greens were running very well. Taking home first prize of $120.00 were Steve Day and Les Spencer, from Club Mulwala. Taking home the runners up prize of $80.00 were Ray Brown and Michael Szabo. The losing rink consolation prize of $60.00 was won by Ray Butler and Shane Maddox from Yarrawonga Bowling Club. The first Lucky Number prize of a drink card and $20.00 was won by Steve Day, who rounded out a very profitable day by also winning the second Lucky Number prize of $10.00
