Though the sun was out, a cold SE wind blew on the green and made bowling quite difficult for the players in one of the semi-final Mixed Fours matches played this afternoon at the club. (The other match is to be played on Friday starting at 11.00am) The start of each end often saw the Jack either landing in the …
Sunday 2x4x2 Gala
9.30 am Start Yes, this is how it looked across the green this morning at the start of our Sunday 2x4x2 Gala. A heavy dew (close to being a frost) covered the green and it quickly showed where we had walked and the line our bowls had taken. The sun soon got rid of the moisture but was never throughout …
AGM – and a Sunny Day
President Ken Hayward It was the club’s AGM today and 10.00am saw President Ken Hayward open proceedings. There were about 50 members present at this, the club’s 104th AGM. All members had recently received last year’s AGM minutes and as well, the President’s and Treasurer’s reports on the current season.

Mini Gala Winner – Rain

The forecast was for clearing weather, the rain radar showed no signs of rain, the barometer was going up, so the Match Committee decided mid-morning not to cancel early.

No Play
As can be seen by the Icon, lots of rain has fallen overnight and the decision was made early this morning to postpone play in the Mixed Fours Championship, and the hope is that tomorrow will be fine enough to get the competition under way. Members have received from the Executive, information for next week’s AGM. This is great as …
Lots of Activitiy
What once was a quiet time of the year for bowls now sees plenty of activity both on and off the green. Another fine Thursday saw another good turn out for the afternoon roll-up. You wouldn’t call it tropical even though the sun was out for the early part of the afternoon and it certainly became quite cold near the …
Queen’s Birthday Weekend Gala
By all accounts, the Queen’s Birthday Mixed Pairs Gala was a very successful event and the club thanks all who took part in organising the 2 day event, and those who took part. I wasn’t able to view any of the play but have been told that a full green of 16 teams took part with the players coming from …
