March is on us which means Autumn has arrived and wet season is well underway, and because our hardcover is still a while away, and we still cannot control the weather, Tuesday and Wednesday Jackpot afternoon bowls and Business House Bowls were all cancelled.
So we had some respite for Friday and practice was available for all members.
Saturday morning Scroungers was run by Eric Barnard on his return from South Africa and first round winners were Margo Stanley, Harry Quod, and John Trembath with Harry Quod a standout winner, whilst the B Division was fought out by Eric Barnard and Tony Whitehorn with Eric proving too strong on the day.
Sunday afternoon Social bowls saw a strong field amass and we welcomed Paul Tobias back from his canoe holiday and great games were played but the outstanding team of Mark Mawson at lead and Tony Kelly as skip soundly beat all comers and it was John Anderson who ended up with the prestigious Health Hub award.
Saturday morning saw the Men’s singles rounds being played between John Brown against Ted Cullen marked by Tim Taylor and John came back in the latter stages of the game for a great victory as the photo shows.
