Visitors Welcome
Six outside teams played with our club members in today’s 2x4x2 gala, and they took out the three prizes. The day started with mist not too far away as can be seen in the two photos, one looking down Weraroa Road and the other towards the coast.

Happy 90th Birthday
It was a good idea from Neville Turnbull to get Nan Keating down to the club so that we could acknowledge her 90th birthday. President Ken Hayward with Nan Keating. We welcomed her and sang the appropriate song and shared her company at afternoon tea. Neville told those present of her achievements while she was bowling in the Waikato area, …

The Day Before
The forecast doesn’t look too bad for tomorrow when the two day Oxford Finance Mixed Triples tournament is due to start. I’m not sure how many teams Margaret has got registered but I’m hopeful that the green will be full. After lunch today, I was drawn to the club by a warm sun, so decided that a roll-up would be …
A Team Effort

On rink 2, I was playing with …
