Weekly Newsletter - 24th March, 2024

Wednesday Social Bowls saw Rob Tucker, Brad Conway and Stewart Rogan claim first prize. In a strange twist of fate, Rob Tucker was also on the Runners Up side (as a swing bowler), with Bruce Gornall and Peter Griffith. Rob also had the good fortune to be a winner the prior Wednesday. I hear he achieves Professional Status next week. Voucher winners were Bruce Gornall, Trevor Boyle, Adriana Hilton and Phil Collins. Our President, Barrie Isaac, was kind enough to make a donation to Mick Ashford’s Bias Bucket.

The rain affected Quarter Finals of the Club Championship Triples was played mid week, the results being:

- P Laing/D Napper/I Poole def. A Hilton/V Gunter/R Allan 30-10
- A Richards/R Fokes/R Quirk def. N Bull/S Mantell/J Keirghy 25-17
- K Collins/W Barnes/P Bristow def. D Barr/B Isaac/P Collins 25-20
- D Squires/I Hodgkinson/M Hammond def. F Raczka/B Irwin/R Davis 25-21

The standard of play was again fantastic, with some excellent bowls being played. The sportsmanship amongst all players was also of the highest standard, so well done to everyone.
The Semi Final was played on Sunday, with the results being:

- D Jones/D Napper/I Poole def D Squires/I Hodgkinson/M Hammond 28-16
- A Richards/R Fokes/R Quirk def. K Collins/W Barnes/P Bristow 24-19

The semis were a closely fought contest, which sets things up for a great final between Team Quirk and Team Poole.

Friday Seniors Day was played with 40 members and guests having a wonderful afternoon. Dean/KCC put on a High Tea, as well as providing $10 vouchers to the winners of four teams.

The Club Championship Fours are now open for entry, with the first round commencing on 14 April 2024. The Entry Sheet is on the Notice Board in the Club House.
