Tuesday afternoon winners were Gordon Queero, Deb Retchless, Laurie Land and Graeme Read, defeating Shirley Jones, Sue Shearing, Gavin Charles and Marg Wilson. The jackpot, which is building up nicely, didn’t go off.
It was a big weekend for Wangaratta. On Saturday, the club hosted its annual Come & Try afternoon, with twenty budding bowlers out on the green showing plenty of natural talent. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves in a relaxed social atmosphere. If you would like to learn to play, come down on a Tuesday or Sunday afternoon around 1pm and we can organise some bowls so you can have a go. From 2 December, social bowls will commence at 2pm.
On Sunday, the club held a wonderful memorial afternoon celebrating the life of Life Member Merle Elphinstone. Fifty-four players took to the green, including many of Merle’s family as well as visitors from Airlie Beach, Ayr and BBC. Although the weather was warm, the afternoon moved quickly with plenty of fun and friendly rivalry.
Winners for the day were H. Byng, E. Camilleri, J. Brown and K. Whitton, who defeated M. Garad, S. Large, P. Elphinstone and A. Rolfe. Other game results:
• S. Jones, B. Whitehorn, D. Tuttle def. J. Defranciscis, I. Laird, G. Charles
• Skin & L. Scells def. Beryl & T. Whitehorn
• B. Tolcher, J. Quod, P. Power def. C. Jeal, B. Myers, S. Roome

The jackpot again didn’t go off. Afternoon tea was a highlight.
Don’t forget this Sunday, 30 November, we are holding our Bowls Section AGMs at 9am, followed by High Tea and social bowls. We look forward to seeing you there—now is the perfect time to put your hand up to help us run the club in 2026.
