What a wonderful week! Nice weather, good bowls, lots of laughter and camaraderie, some ongoing maintenance… just another week at UWBC!
We had our usual tabs in sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, plus our Midlands Hillbillies on Wednesday evening. The Hillibillies played a game of 4-3-2-1 with a bit of a twist; the first bowler to score 50 points was the winner and well done to Kyle for getting there first!
On Friday the 28th we hosted our monthly Dormehl Nominated 2 Bowl Trips. With all the public holidays we had a slightly smaller field than usual, but with 16 teams it was still a great day. Thank you to all the players who joined us and to our sponsor Dormehl Phalane Property Group. Congratulations to the following teams:-
1st Prize – “Team N” Colin and Pat Norris and Lisa Nagel
2nd Prize – Fred Palmer, Tor and Horse
3rd Prize – Colin Burden, Mike Scheffer and Jo Boonzaier
Plate Prize – Clint Nortje, Rick Olivier and Shayne Knott
The toucher prizes went to Grace and Dave Mainprize and Colin Burden, and Koos Marais won the 100 Club Prize. Well done to all involved and thank you to our fantastic sponsors.
On Monday we decided to make a day of the public holiday and held a fun day of “Lord of the Rings”. Each player played into the head which was marked with three rings, with a different score awarded to each ring. We had a fantastic turnout of players, including some bowlers all the way from Berea and some brand new bowlers who have never played before. The bowls was followed by a bring and braai, along with some live music from Rick Olivier. What an amazing day! Well done to the following players:-
1st Place with 100 points – Steve Smith
2nd Place with 91 points - Colin Norris
3rd Prize with 91 points – Catherine Rennie
A note about 2nd and 3rd prize; they were neck and neck with the exact same score on each session, so the tie breaker came down to who had the most points on the last end.
Coming up on the 13th of May we have a fun quiz night planned. Entry is R50 per person including vetkoek and mince for dinner, starting at 5.30pm. Please contact Wendy on 071 353 2866 for more information or to book.
That’s all for this week… see you on the greens!
