Wangaratta Bowls

Social play on Tuesday resulted in the jackpot going off in the game between Stumpy Adams, Merle Elphinstone, and Penny Warren who defeated Lindy Suann, Irene Laird, and Dot Slater.

In the other game Deb Retchless and Steve Roome defeated Robyn Stitt and Kevin Jewell.

Our Friday night barefoot bowls and sausage sizzle was a lot of fun. Although it was a little showery everyone enjoyed the night. We will be hosting the next one on Friday 8th March.

Fortunately the weather held for our Mixed Opening Day on Sunday. Our members enjoyed the company of players from visiting clubs from Airlie Beach, Ayr and Proserpine. Winners for the day were Stumpy Adams. Jim Quod, Irene Laird, and Allan Rolfe who defeated Michael Parraucini, J Hall, S Darwin, and W Coonan. Runners Up Denise Wallace, Graeme Read, and Penny Warren defeated Bill Myers, Robyn Stitt, and Kevin Daniels. Others winners were Rob Bron Tolcher, Henny Tatem, and Mark Drummond defeated Rhonda Lloyd, Maree Brunker, Laurie Land, and Pat Tracey.

Linda Scells, Dot Slater, and Sugar Brunker defeated Nadine Land, Sue Shearing, and Greg Colquhoun. Lindy Suann, Isobel Wheeler, and Geoff Danvers defeated Toni Bowen, Deb Retchless, and Lyn Skeen. Tess Lyn Danvers, Merle Elphinstone, and Margo Stanley drew with Teresa Willshire, Marg Wilson, Terry and Wendy. The jackpot didn’t go off.    

Best of luck with our Men’s local pennant teams playing at BBC on Saturday.
