Wednesday Social Bowls Report.
Last Wednesday the 10th of June saw 36 players turn out for Wednesday Social Bowls. It was terrific to see players from surrounding clubs that, well, aren’t quite surrounding. We welcomed Merv Hannaford and Phil Thorne, from Katandra West, Len Vann, from Kattamatite and Greg Sutton, from Strathmerton. But taking the prize for visitors from near and far was Patricia Hough from Bicheno, Tasmania. To all our visitors, we hope you enjoyed the day, and please come again! Now down to the business part of the report; the winners and the prizes. Winning first prize of $100.00, and a drink card each were Vicki and Colin Withers. The runners up prize of $60.00 was shared by the team of our own Greg Fisher and Neil Hamilton from Yarrawonga Bowls Club. The losing rink consolation prize of $20.00 was shared by the combo of Les Wilson and Patricia Hough. The first Lucky Number prize of $20.00 was won by Trevor Kilpatrick, and the second Lucky Number prize of $10.00 was won by Chris Horne.
