Women’s Bowls

October 16, 2020 By Maggi Barnard

Thirty ladies rocked up to play, mark or umpire our fancied sport on a perfect spring- time morning this week.

The first round of the Minor Singles saw Carol Reed defeat Laurie Keane, 25-17. Lorraine Baker defeated Lynn Ryan, 25-21, and Jan McPhee defeated Maureen Miller, 25-20.

The next round will see Carol play Jan on Tuesday, with the winner to play Lorraine in the final.

Any old bowls uniforms will be gladly accepted by the committee to be sent to people less fortunate.

Membership fees are due by the end of the month: $89 pens, $109 full, payable at the bar, cards accepted.

Twilight Bowls Competition has begun on Thursday nights. Make up a team of 3 and join from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.

Nominations for Minor Pairs are now open. Nominations close 3rd November.

President’s Day Mini Carnival is on 27th October. Mufti dress is Bright & Bizarre! Nominate by Tuesday, 20th.

Special date: the weekend of 14/15 Nov is the club’s 100th Anniversary! Sensational spectator bowls on the Saturday as our men contend with invited teams! Bowls for everyone on Sunday.
