What have we been up to at UWBC for the past week?
Wednesday the 1st of March was our monthly Halfway Toyota competition; we had a relatively small field of 16 players but still some great bowling to watch. Congratulations to the winning team of Ed Speed and Jo Boonzaier, as well as to the runners up who were Colin Burden and Mary Steytler.
Friday the 3rd of March was a really fun evening of Friday Night Lights. This was the second time we’ve played on a Friday evening and what an awesome time we had. The format was 4-3-2-1, with two sessions of 8 ends, followed by a bring and share braai. There was lots of laughter and merriment and some amazing shots delivered. The winner of the R500 cash prize, was Peter Storm with a score of 26. Second prize went to Rob Andrew with 24 shots and third was Barbara Hook on 22. Well done to the winners and thank you to all those who joined us to play, spectate and braai; we’re looking forward to growing this competition which will be played on the first and third Friday of every month starting at 5.15pm.
On Saturday the 4th of March we played our monthly Greendale competition. We had a nice field of 24 players and all who took part thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thank goodness the rain came down at tea time when we were all inside! Well done to Bruce (visiting all the way from Underberg), David Mainprize and Pat Ciro on their win.
On the 18th of March we’ll be hosting a fun quiz evening starting at 5.30pm. Anyone is welcome to enter at a cost of R50 per person which includes dinner of vetkoek and mince. Teams are limited to a maximum of 4 people, however you do not need to enter a full team as we can make teams up as needed. For more information or to enter, please contact Wendy on 071 353 2866.
Another event coming up is an all day competition on the 21st of March which is being sponsored by J Leslie Smith & Co, as well as Oakleigh Funeral Home. This will be open 3 bowl trips, starting at 8.30am at a cost of R420 per team, including tea and lunch. The first two sessions will be 12 ends,, followed by a final session of 14 ends. There are some nice cash prizes up for grabs, as well as session prizes and a raffle which will be drawn on the day. To enter a team, please contact Lisa on 084 586 6984.
