Port City WBC News 9th Feb 2012

It was our first day of pennant last Tuesday and President Shirley welcomed teams from Wauchope on a very warm day. Port City had some good wins and were pleased with the results of our games this week. Well done girls. Thank you Judy for umpiring on such a humid day.

Judy Brady and Barbara Barrett were presented with their certificates as runners up in the District Pairs and were duly congratulated by all members of our Club.

Congratulations were also given to June Edward and Keith on reaching their Golden Wedding milestone. Many many more to come we are sure.

Tuesday next Valentine's Day 14th February is our monthly non playing members morning tea. Come along and have a chat and a cuppa with the girls. I'm sure you will enjoy the morning.

Don't forget to come along to the Open Day of Bowls - free tuition - jumping castle for the children and sausage sizzle from 10 am until noon Sunday 19th February. Try and encourage some friends to come along and try the game that we all love.

Our very popular Past President Phyl Warnes was farewelled by President Shirley as she will soon be leaving Port to live closer to her daughter in Victoria. We all are sad to see her go and she has been a wonderful asset to our Club. All the best Phyl and much happiness and good health in your new home.

To any of our members or their families who are not feeling well we wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back at the Club soon.

Thanks to Ann Kirk for this report.
