The first round of our Minor Pairs was played last week, and what great games they were !!!! Ruby Salmon and Lorraine Foster had a close and hard fought win over Eliza Gunn and Elaine Turner. The game between Anne Dwyer and Robin Bryan and Joy Hanneman and Judy Watson came down to the last bowl of the last end. With the score being 16 all on the 17th end, the final bowls had everyone on the edge of their seats. Congratulations to Joy and Judy for taking the win by one shot, and well done Anne and Robin for a great game. The semi finals are scheduled for this week, and if the first few games are anything to go by, we will be watching some great bowls.
Much needed rain meant our Social ladies didn’t get to play last Tuesday, but Thursday proved much better and two games of triples was enjoyed by all. Winners were Jenny Anderson, Trish Tom and Elaine Turner over Ruby Salmon, Eliza Gunn and Narrelle Wetsteyn, and Margaret Gilchrist, Maree Guilfoyle and Lorraine Foster over Dawn Neville, Carol Blackshaw and Jean Eagleton.
Congratulations to Robyn Herbert who competed in the District Minor Singles last week. Robyn won her first round game, but unfortunately went down in the second round - well done Robyn !!!.

The cold weather was kind to us this week. No rain when we played. Wednesday saw 32 players enjoying an overcast, cold afternoon with a chilly, Northerly breeze. This resulted in a first round match of our Major and Minor Club Championship for 2018, four games of Social Triples and one of Social Pairs. Saturday was an overcast day with a chilly breeze. We had a mixed visit from the Parkes Bowling Club. They brought 30 players and, combined with our 40 players, we managed 70 players making up 1 match of Pairs and 11 matches of Triples. What an afternoon! It was so good seeing that many people out enjoying life. That’s what lawn bowls is all about.
