The Mixed Triples Gala sponsored by I C Mark was run successfully yesterday on the club greens; a cool morning but bright sunshine in the afternoon. Though both greens were not full, four games were played by each team during the day and three place getters were found. Thanks to members from other clubs who were abel to join us …

An early start on Sunday to get Men’s Singles started so that four rounds of Singles would be completed. The weather was good and the green was running well for all players. Barry Cross won his game against Murray Griffin and Omeka did likewise against John Adams. Quarter finals next – Wins for Gary Wylie, Neville Turnbull, Keith Galloway and …

And so today’s day‘s play ended and the draw has been made for tomorrow’s post-section games.. Quite a number were watching the last game to see if another could be added to the qualifiers – the two players concerned were Shoota and Neville. All others had finished their games but the close match between the two players had eyes well …

It was Post-section play on Sunday for our Women’s Singles and it certainly wasn’t what one would call a pleasant day. Overnight rain and finally the cotula green was dry for the afternoon play, but one really hadn’t picked the best day to play. There were eight finalist and a start was made to play their first round. I dropped …

Today saw the Women’s Singles played on our cotula green. Always interesting games in action and for us Markers, time to watch very good play. The two photos show how close things could get. The final end in play and could have resulted in a win for either bowler – Diana had reached twenty but Joan caught up with three …

The club had two teams playing on our own green this afternoon, two games each and they recorded four wins. A good achievement on our cotula. Playing at the Waitarere Club, Joe and I didn’t do very well, achieving only one win. Diana, Jim and I started well against a local team for three ends but then didn’t do any …

The two …

A busy day started this morning so that our Men’s and Women’s Pairs Championships could get completed. The finals were reached firstly by Susan Boxall and Dianne Short playing Margaret MacKay and Christine Ryan. It was a close game throughout and with only one end to go, the score was level at 14 all. Margaret and Christine played in out …

Tuesday saw our Men’s Pennants teams played at the Paraparaumu Beach Club against the Waikanae Red teams and our men won their four games. Great result. Our Division Three teams played at the Kapitit Club against their two Kapiti teams. Our A team skipped by Neville, played quite well, that is until near the end of the game. A drive …

This afternoon we were to have a Horowhenua College class so that we could introduce Bowls to them.   We set out the required gear and then waited….but no show up! On checking, we found the staff had a special meeting this afternoon and pupils had been dismissed at lunch time. Pity was, they forgot to let us know. As it …
