As the days grow longer and spring is on our doorsteps the bowls this week has been sensational with so much news to tell.
Let’s start with Tuesday afternoon bowls saw only a small but strong field play with Wendy Pomeroy with Henny Tattam take home the prize money.
Saturday morning Scroungers saw Gary Kiff, Betty Whitehorn, Tony Whitehorn and Russell Jackson first round winners with the final playoff between Russell Jackson and Betty Whitehorn.
Sunday afternoon saw 42 bowlers.
The 7 rinks were used and play finished at 4 PM for prize giving and more stories from some of the people Nik had affected with his inspirational encouragement.
There was 3 winners named in first, second and third prize money the biggest winner of the day was an old teammate of Nik’s.
