This has been a relatively busy, yet enjoyable week at Umgeni Waterfall Bowling Club. The first event of the week was a sponsored competition held on Wednesday,25 March. The worthy winners of the prizes sponsored by J Leslie Smith Inc were Eddie Speed, May Blackford and Barry Fairbrother. Piet van Rensburg, Ray Bester and Mike Caine, as runners-up, went home with vouchers sponsored by The Health Nut.
The second event was the most successful tournament sponsored by Halfway Toyota Howick. Sunday turned out to be a perfect day in many respects. The tournament was well-organised, the greens were in an excellent condition, food was good, and drinks were cold. Grateful thanks is extended to all players who joined us on our greens and to everyone who assisted in any way. Thank you, too, to those who expressed their enjoyment and appreciation to the organisers. It is good to know that hard work is appreciated.
Winners were: First prize - Brian Ellison, Piet van Rensburg, Ray Bester and Margie Holl (Umgeni Waterfall). Second prize – Rose Varty, Rob Buchanan, Lorna Allen and Dave Pechey (Lynwood and Hilton). Third Prize – Marinda Opperman, Rene Mycklebust, Dawn Easthorpe and Percy Rogers (Maritzburg West).
The winners of the Plate Event were Alan Willey, Glyn Evans, Droughty Hartley and Sharon Willey (Mooi River).
Session prizes were won by teams from Richmond, Howick and a team from Estcourt, skipped by a member of Umgeni Waterfall. The three bowlers from Estcourt included ten year old Khanyiso who is to be admired for his concentration and skill.
The raffle was won by Graeme Cameron.
The "Spider" raised an amount of R 548.75. This amount will be donated to Howick Hospice.
