Sunday 17th was a big day for John Hilton, who turned 90 years young. John likes to keep his birthday a secret, but I have my sources lol. Congratulations mate on your big day. You’ve been a stalwart of the club for many years and its great to see you on the green teaching young Adrian how to bowl.

In other news, Brad Conway invested big bucks in a new set of “Rabbitoh” Bowls. Apparently he only got three bowls, with the Lattrell bowl being sidelined. Also, a big welcome to new members, Bruce Gornall and Bob (not the politician) Carr. Dave Wagstaff also joined us recently, and its great to have new blood in the club.
