This was played in conjunction with round two of our club major minor pairs being played on the rear green on Saturday afternoon. The weather was, which seems to be the norm, cold and windy, with an occasional warm break as the sun poked its head out between the black clouds.
But it didn't rain, and all games were completed on time.
Congratulations to the Currrarong teams who were winners of both district games and commiserations to our own players Peter Corkill and Allen Steele who were defeated on the day.
On Sunday the weather was much kinder, still cold, but nowhere near as windy as it has been in the past.
George Winstanley and Ray Dudding got through to the major minor final to be played next Sunday, and will have to await the outcome of the game between Ted Starr – Ray Cumberland and Russ McCauley – Craig Morton, which will be played next Saturday.
Good luck to all players.
Next Sunday morning we are having a closed promotional day with the Shoalhaven Heads Women's Bowling Club, the Shoalhaven Heads Men’s Bowling Club and the Heads Social Bowling Club.
Members from all three clubs are encouraged to join us on the day.

A big thank you to the SHBandRCL Club for stepping up to provide such an incentive to new bowlers.
This week the notices calling for, nominations for committee positions and notices of motion, for the AGM will be placed on the notice board.
