Tuesday Social Bowls

Social bowls are played every Tuesday during winter.

The game starts at 10am, with players asked to be at the greens by 9.30am.

Names must be on the board by 8am Tuesday.

Visitors are very welcome.

It is a fun day, with raffles and prizes for the randomly drawn winners and losers.

Last Tuesday, all the bowlers enjoyed a beautiful winter’s day.

Les Spencer hosted a great lunch of dim sims and hotdogs, while Jan Tabart indulged everyone with her cupcakes.

The randomly drawn winning rink was Ray B. and Sheryl C., who each took home a $25 Club Mulwala voucher.

The randomly drawn losing rink was the lovely Bev and Wayne Hulm, who each received a $10 Club Mulwala voucher and a bonus club drink voucher.

The raffle winners surprisingly did not include Daryl Richmond.

First prize went to Ian Moffew, who received a $25 Club Mulwala voucher.

Second prize went to Sheryl C., who received a $15 Thyme for Coffee voucher.

Thyme for Coffee is a new sponsor this year, and the club is delighted to have the business on board.

Ricky Dee’s Pizza is also one of the club’s great sponsors.

Wednesday Social Bowls

After the previous week’s cancellation of Wednesday Social Bowls due to inclement weather, this week brought vastly improved conditions, which was reflected in the strong turnout of 40 players.

Bowlers enjoyed greens that, given the cool and damp weather over the previous fortnight, were not running too badly.

Play was held in a north–south orientation across both greens.

First prize went to the team of Neville Coleman and Craig Jordan, who shared $90 and received a drink card each.

Neville and Craig played on rink four, where their opponents were Fred Donaldson and Noel Millar.

Friday Social Bowls

Fine but brisk weather last Friday saw a strong field of 44 players roll out for Friday Social Bowls.

Both greens were in play and running well.

Games were played in an east–west direction.

Finding the conditions on rink 10 conducive to good bowls were Judy Leeson and Dot Brodie, who played Terry Cartwright and Michelle Thomas.

Judy and Dot each took home a drink card and shared $100.

The winning-rink runners-up prize of $50 was won by Les Wilson and Greg Fisher, who played Ian Price and Doddy Dodman on rink 13.

Sue and Hayden took home $30.

The first Lucky Number raffle prize of $20 was won by Peter McKay.

The second Lucky Number raffle prize of $15 was won by Greg Fisher.

Sunday Funday Social Bowls

After Saturday evening’s rain and threatening skies on Sunday morning, a lighter-than-usual field of 16 players turned out for this week’s instalment of Sunday Funday.

Fortunately for those playing, the weather cleared for the afternoon’s games.

The spider icebreaker draw was won by Michelle Thomas, who took home a selection of sweets and $5 cash.

The day’s winners were Ron Lamson and Norm Moule, who pocketed $40.

Riddle Me This…

Last week, readers were challenged to correctly answer the following riddle: Until it is measured, it is not known, yet how it is missed when it has flown.

The answer was time.

This week’s riddle asks: People make it, save it, lose it, long for it and change it. What is it?

The answer will be revealed next week.

Until then, good bowling.
