Also, the proceeds from the spider and money raised from wrong biases on Tuesday 16^th April were presented to the Autism Society in the amount of $165.

Monday 15^th April saw the start of a big week of bowls for our 75^th Anniversary and it was great to see so many ladies from others clubs helping us celebrate and participating in a social game.

Pennants were also being contested.

The final of the Club Singles was played last Saturday 13^th April between Carol White and Margaret Doyle. It was a very thrilling game and very close with Carol winning the championship for the third time. The final result was 25 to 23. President Barbara presented Carol with her badge.
Barbara announced that the date for the Handicap Triples will be 30^th July.
