Yes, there were that many winners today in our weekly winter Three Games Gala. One never knows how thing will go on the day and these three teams must have played really well to win all their games. At other times, only one team might succeed with three wins and the other ‘places’  are taken the by teams that have …

This morning was a really good example of our club in action. Over the years I have taken an active part in a variety of things at the club (other than bowling) and today was just another example of how clubs work. An email had been sent to members over the weekend to let them know that the greens would …

The sun shone throughout the winter’s day and made it easy for us to see how well Rex and Margaret had played their bowls; one presumes that they were like this most of the day and made them the winning pair. A full green was in action on the Dales green and when the fourth game of eight ends was …

I sometimes wonder what people are thinking when they walk past the green, especially on a day like today. Certainly no rain, but a cool gloomy day, so different to what we have in our summer season. No worries though, we are a hardy lot; well wrapped up so that we can enjoy the challenge of a game of bowls. …

A July Wednesday, another three games of Triples and a chance to bowl in weather that  perhaps was a little Cold…..

It certainly must have helped her …

It was sad to hear that Pam May, bowler and wife of the late Bob May, passed away today.  It was back in October, 1980, that Pam and Bob both joined the club as new members and remained associated with us for so long as bowlers. In later years after Bob’s passing in 1996, Pam continued her activities both on …

A very busy day on the artificial green today, with all Pairs playing against each other while at the end of that competition, Singles (Sudden Death) were played. Not the best of weather but the players enjoyed the challenges they faced. Thanks to Neville for the planning and running of the tournament. The following are the results. PAIRS: ( fifteen …

Just like it was throughout today’s gala, “The Eyes Have It” The players have delivered their bowl and together with other players, are keeping they eyes on their bowls so that they can see what is happening to them.
