Weekly Newsletter - 8th October, 2023


Monday Monthly Pairs was played in fantastic conditions with some great bowls played. J. Gaskill/S.Gaskill claimed 1st prize, 2nd place going to Mick Ashford/Steve McGregor, 3rd place Rocky Davis/Frank Raczka, and 4th place going to Mark New/Greg Connell. Round winners were Trent Goffin/Troy Eames, P.Wiget/J.Wiget and Viv Gunter/Adrian Hilton. You couldn’t hide the smiles on the faces of the Jackpot winners, Ian Poole and Peter Versluis.

Wednesday Social Bowls was played in extremely blustery conditions, making things especially challenging. Jeff Wylie and Peter Griffith mastered conditions to claim top prize. Runners Up were Rocky Davis, Ray Pantlin and Bob Simms.

In the Friday Jackpot Triples, the jackpot wasn’t won, so Treasurer Tony kept the cash once again. The winning team was Reggie Robb, Ian (Hodgo) Hodgkinson, and Dean Gemmell. Runners Up were John Gemmell, Howard Burrows and Gary Hamilton. Vouchers winners were Viv Gunter (drew himself), Rocky Davis, Peter Laing and Dave Harvey. You might notice “Raffles" McGregor was not on the list, although Clever Tony, when handed a ticket, simply said "come on" & waited till Steve got up then said "Peter Laing”, which brought the house down!

Club Major Singles has now commenced, and will continue on Sundays for the next few weeks. Round 1 winners were David Jones, Mick Ashford, Adrian Hilton, Gary Martin, Brett Irwin, Andrew Richards, Peter Laing, Peter Griffith, Barrie Isaac, Jeb Keighery, Greg Darcy, Rocky Davis, Frank Raczka, Stewart Rogan and Dave Harvey. There was some great matches, with Reggie Robb playing some fantastic bowls to push Stewart Rogan right to the end, and the match between Wayne Thrussell and Terry Miles being a showcase of great skill. Terry took an early lead, before Wayne battled back, but Terry was able to hold on to claim victory.
