Quite a day as it turned out, starting with the semi finals being played in off and on drizzle but by the end of the final in the afternoon, players were really feeling the sun’s heat. The women’s semi-final games saw Ra Walker’s team go down to Margaret MacKay’s, 8 -14 and the other match…

Championship Triples were played today with entries for the Men and Women being the same – eight teams in each section. There had been some rain in the early hours but we all got started at 9.00am; not quite true as one team’s player had decided that it was a 9.30am start.  ( I have…

I managed to watch some of the 5’s being played on our cotula green this afternoon. It was sunny but quite a strong wind developed during the play. Our club played their four games against Central which resulted in 2 win and 2 losses.  It was quite strange how the games went as it could…

The cards used to sort the players into a different Pairs combination were used this afternoon and made some interesting teams. It had been planned to play 3 games of 6 ends each but because they were completed relatively early, a further game was held.  One never knew how each game would turn out and…

It was to start this morning at 10.00am, but overnight and early morning rain put the semi-final start on to early afternoon. Lodzia Wnek faced Margaret MacKay in one game and by the 12th end, was leading 13-9.  Margaret gained two 3’s and a 4 and once in the lead, went on to win the…

After a sunny afternoon playing in a roll-up, I again took part in the Business House Bowls evening.

We had the experience today of playing bowls when the wind was the dominate factor on how things went. It was Rotary this afternoon, played at Levin RSA and at Foxton Beach. On our return from the latter green, we were told by the players who had been at RSA that it had been windy,…

I wondered if the Mexted Cup would have been played today. The wind in Levin was strong for much of the day but the news has come through that our team won the cup. Congratulations. I have just received an email from Ken about the day which gives a clear outline on how the day…

There were 12 entries for today’s Women’s Singles and after the early rounds, six players had qualified.  A draw was made and Alice Spicer and Dianne Short received the 2 byes and that meant Margaret MacKay had to play Coral Mills and Lodzia Wnek had to play Ra Walker. Coral Mills Margaret MacKay These two…

Our annual event, the Haggis Gala took place today, a full green, but plenty of room for more teams to enjoy the challenge of the day and attempt to take out the top prize. The day takes a lot of organising and all those who helped in one way or another, we thank them. Without…
