Opening day on Saturday the 6th of April is only 2 weeks away and we’re all busy getting ready for the big day. Team Selections for the WEBA leagues and the EBA leagues are almost completed, the greens are looking superb and with a bit of luck the weather on the day will be fantastic.

The club committee has been working tirelessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly on opening day, every detail is being carefully considered.

Members are eager to hit the greens and show off their skills, there’s a buzz of excitement in the air as everyone looks forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones on the green.

With the anticipation building, the countdown to opening day is on. We can’t wait to kick off the season with a day full of friendly competition, camaraderie, and hopefully a few wins. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic start to what promises to be another great year of lawn bowling at our club.

A little late but the Friday games night was a great success. Approximately 30-40 entrants turned up for the 3 competitions of darts, dominos and pool.

Congratulations to winners:

Ryan Ironside (darts)
Sas Martinez (pool)
Dave Campbell (dominos)

Thanks for making my bank balance lighter 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

I’d like to personally thank Alan Wharton and Aaron Donald for helping with the darts and doms competitions.

There will be another games night on a Saturday this time around mid March so look out for the entry list on the wall opposite the lounge door.

Thanks to everyone who could make it 👍
