What a fantastic week we had last week!
Tuesday morning tabs in was a fun one as our tabs master, Koos Marais, decided that ladies would play against ladies and men versus men. All the ladies were on one side of the green with the men on the other side and an interesting thing happened…. One side of the green was far more festive and loud than the other! No points for guessing which gender was making more noise!
Wednesday was a busy day with tabs in at lunchtime, quite a crowd of hillbillies in the late afternoon and visiting darts players from Maritzburg in the evening. It’s always a wonderful experience to see the club with such a hive of activities going on.
Friday morning we hosted our monthly Dormehl Phalane Property Group sponsored 2 bowl trips competition. With twenty teams on the green we were almost full to capacity and the standard of bowls was great. Thank you to Pippa Griffin and her team at Dormehl Phalane for their generous sponsorship of R1500 worth of meat vouchers. Congratulations to the winning teams:-
1st Prize – Colin Burden, Mike Scheffer & Jo Boonzaier
2nd Prize – Craig Whitby, Tara Van Rensburg & Mark Taylor
3rd Prize – Stephanie Crause, Steve Simpson & Egon von Mayer
Plate Prize – Cindy Bro, Mark Schraader & Rob Piggot
Toucher Prizes – Syd Fincham, Pat Norris & Colin Burden
After the competition we officially inaugurated the new braai! So much pride in our braai and in our braai engineers as we can see that the new braai area is going to be very well used and a popular spot to watch some bowls and enjoy an afternoon of meat on the coals. Well done to Kevin Palmer and Steve Smith for all your hard work in making it happen!
By the time we got to Saturday afternoon tabs in there were only a few bowlers still standing after such a busy week, and so we played a fun game of Last Man Standing. After three sessions, the overall winner was Ann Cacho. Well done to our last WOMAN standing and we hope you enjoyed your bottle of wine for the win!
