Port City WBC News 19th January

President Shirley gave a warm welcome to the players who had entered the District Pairs on Tuesday with the hope that the day would remain dry. Social players unfortunately did not have a full game because of the torrential downpour that occurred during the morning and therefore were forced to leave the green early.

Very exciting news this week, two of our Port City girls contested the final of the District Singles Championship with a win to Carol White and a very formidable opponent Margaret Walsh. Congratulations to you both.

Pat Morrison and Trish Mitchell were welcomed back to bowls and the lucky rink winners were -

Pat Morrison, Helen Cooper, Elaine Eames - Beth Hicks, Frances Fairbrother, Pat Murphy consolation prize.

50 club winners - Marie Bignell - Dulcie Holihan - Susan Malzard

Raffle winners - Val Byrnes - Ann Butlin

For those members who have entered Pennant this year, there will be a Pennant training session held each Friday at 10 am, please put your name on the list on the board, you will find it is very worthwhile.

On Australia Day Thursday 26th January there will be a triples event, ladies, mens and mixed with damper, golden syrup and billy tea at 9 am - bowls 10 am and then a BBQ lunch. Come dressed in your best AUSSIE gear. A great day is to be had by all.

After social bowls on Tuesday next our umpires have agreed to give any player some tuition in the finer points of measuring. As the pennant season is just around the corner ít will be a great advantage to you and your team if this art can be done correctly.

Nerida and Ted Warby have now moved into St Agnes Village. They have been staunch supporters of all club events for many years and we wish them much happiness and good health in their new home.

To any of our members not enjoying the best of health we send our loving thoughts and best wishes to you for a good recovery and may each day be a good one for you.

Names in or out for ladies wishing to have a game on Tuesdays only to the Bowls Office on 65831153 or to Barbara Barrett on 65832659.
