Margo Stanley organised an Australia Day celebration which included an early breakfast followed by bowls and there was a huge roll up of bowlers who all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Saturday morning Scroungers kicked off in great style with a farewell to Duncan Smith, who has done an absolutely sterling job in running this wonderful competition and welcoming John Askew who has arranged a new format for the proceedings with 20 keen bowlers turning up for the event.

First round winners were Rick Galea, Andy McDougall, Elaine Kippen, Russell Jackson, Tony Whitehorn and Warren Mills who played off for the final which was hotly contested by Russell Jackson and Tony Whitehorn who was the big winner of the day.

Sunday afternoon saw 37 bowlers competing for the prize and it was the birthday boy John Trembath whom skippered his team with Mario De Martino at lead and Steve Tattam running out winners of the day.

Wednesday marked the beginning of Brian Delaney’s Business House Bowls competition commencing at 6.30 pm - please have all teams assembled and registered by 6.15 pm, and we are all looking forward to the start of this wonderful competition - it’s not too late to register your team so all are most welcome.

Finally, the school’s competition is just awaiting acceptances so in the next few weeks details will be provided.
