So much to catch up on!
Let’s start with Friday the 17th of March. We had a fantastic evening playing 4-3-2-1 for Friday Night Lights. Lots of laughter and joviality and we overcame the challenges of loadshedding. All the players enjoyed 2 sessions of 8 ends, followed by a burger for dinner. Well done to Kevin Palmer, who came third, Barbara Hook who came second and Pat Norris for her win on the evening.
On Tuesday, the 21st of March we must say a huge thank you to J Leslie Smith & Company Inc, as well as Oakleigh Funeral Home who sponsored our all-day competition on the public holiday. We had a great turnout with a field of fourteen teams playing 3 bowl trips and some really amazing bowls to watch. Thank you to all who supported and helped on the day and a big congratulations to the following:-
Vic Rowell, Terry Peate & Mike Fairhurst – First Place
Les Whiteman, Belinda Nobin & Twin Nobin – Second Place
James Evertse, Horse Beecham & John – Third Place
Steve Smith, Holly Nagel & Wendy Smith – Session Prize
Edwin Hohls, Patrick Carter-Brown & Ken Hooper - Session Prize
Mark Schraader, Rob Piggot & Henry Bro – Session Prize
On Sunday the 26th of March we had 8 bowlers enter the NIBA Mixed Pairs. Well done to Colin Burden & Mary Steytler, Neil Wright & Lisa Nagel, Steve Smith & Holly Nagel, and Kevin Palmer & Wendy Smith. Whilst none of our pairs made it through to the next round they all gave their absolute best and flew our flag high. A very special mention of Holly Nagel, who is our youngest bowler, and at the tender age of 12 took on the NIBA challenge!
On Friday the 31st of March we hosted our Dormehl Phalane Property Group 2 Bowl Trips; again we had a really great turnout with 22 teams on the green. As usual, the last Friday competition is always a fun one with so much laughter and a great soundtrack in the background. Thank you to Dormehl Phalane Property Group for their generous sponsorship and well done to all who entered. Congratulations to our winners:-
Bob Mitchell, Bruce Tucker & Barry Fairbrother – First Prize
Chantal D’Hotman, Melanie Ross & Mary Steytler – Second Prize
