We ended a week of enjoyable bowling with a Chicken Run on Saturday. As thirty-two members put in their tabs, we decided to play four rinks of fours. Some members were initially disappointed at having only two bowls on each end, but as the afternoon progressed and close games developed, most people entered into the spirit of the sport.
Winners of the chickens were Jill Bannatyne, Joan Byrom, John Bayley and Anton Leisegang. Thanks to Quarry Spar for generously donating the prizes. Pat Bennet gave us some of her delightful orchids as second prizes, and John Fowler provided enormous grapefruit for the third placed team. Thank you Pat and John.
This coming Saturday we will be playing for the Club President's Cup. The format for this competition will be two-bowl trips with two set of twelve ends. Teams will be drawn on Thursday evening after bowls.
The draw for Thelma's Lotto took place on Saturday evening, and there was no winner. The jackpot has been rolled over, and is approaching R500! Get your tickets soon.
Duties: 21 - 27 July: OOD: Thelma Mylne. Tabs: Dave Hammond. Duty team: Dave Hammond. Teas on 27 July: John & Julie Pinks. Biscuits: 23 & 25 July: Graham Appleby & John Arnott.
