It’s been a vibrant and busy week at Wangaratta Bowls Club, with full greens and strong competition across all events.
Monday Triples saw a full field with Jan Harvey, Rodney Barter, and Glenn Harvey claiming victory over S. Farrel, H. Beech-Jones, and K. Pedlar. Runners-up were Glen, Nick, and John, who defeated Neal, Bruce, and Robyn. The jackpot once again went unclaimed.
Tuesday afternoon was a special occasion as the club honoured its Patroness, Merle Elphinstone—our oldest Life Member whose contributions to the club are deeply appreciated. The green was full in her honour. The afternoon’s winners were Allan Gillies, June Paynting, Jan Dawson, and Dave Madden, who overcame Keith S./Collins, Mary Whitebread, Christine Bratz, and Bob Dykstra. The Sportsman’s Prize went to Shirley Smith, Lyn Madden, and Maureen Hyde, despite their defeat by John Hastings, Heidi Reif, and Greg Kelly. The jackpot continues to grow.
In Club Competition Men’s Triples, Ron Hyde, Alby Vigar, and Gavin Charles triumphed over Dave McDonald, Graeme Read, and Neal Chittenden in a solid match.
Fun Friday finished in a tie, with the win awarded on a countback of ends to Neal Chittenden, Al Deterey, and Maureen Hyde, who drew with Ron Hyde, Greg Kelly, and Christina.
Finally, Thursday night was a hit with a full house enjoying entertainment from the Festival of Small Halls Winter Tour, helping bring music and community spirit to our club.
