Autumn rains played havoc with bowls this past week. Our wish was that we could send some of the rain to Cape Town but in the meanwhile, we accept the abundant blessing of rain as our rivers are flowing strongly and dams remain full.
Competitions
Despite the rain, we managed to play and complete 18 ends of bowls in our much sought after Halfway Toyota Howick sponsored competition. The Halfway Toyota Howick first prize was won by the team of Jack Bush, Dudley Ventress, Beverley Vorster and Colin Burden. They were closely followed in second place by Rita Aitken, Dave Mainprize and Barry Fairbrother who won the prize sponsored by The Orchard House. Prizes were handed out by Margie Wheelwright of Halfway Toyota. As usual Halfway Toyota once again had a new vehicle on display for the duration of the competition and gave us a lovely table of treats for tea time. We value and appreciate all that our sponsors do to help us enjoy and promote this awesome game. We also welcome The Orchard House on board as one of our 2018 sponsors.
Our clubs 2018 Ladies and Men’s Singles competition is slowly but surely entering its final stages with the quarter and semi-final matches scheduled to be played over the next 10 days. Good luck to the players that have made it through to this stage of the competition.
Club Activities
The rain, as expected, played a role in us postponing our coaching clinic as well as our skills training afternoon on Friday. We will attempt to do it again this coming Friday starting at 2.30pm. Sessions are free of charge.
