One third of the way into this year already, but ss they say, time flies when you’re having fun!
Thank you to Greendale Spar and Amber Glades for their sponsorship of our monthly drawn pairs competition on Saturday. We had a nice turnout for a lovely afternoon of bowls in the sunshine and congratulate Colin Brown and Barry Fairbrother on their win with a whopping +19 shot difference. Well done also to Koos Marais and Bruce Tucker who took second place with a +7 shot difference.
Pigeon season is almost here and we must say a big thank you to the Duzi Racing Pigeon Club who are busy with upgrades to our entertainment veranda. They’ve generously installed a new roof, and will be having canvas blinds fitted soon to keep us cosy through the winter. This is in preparation for their racing season, and we’re very excited to be hosting their club members for the first time at the end of the month. On Thursday, the 30th of May we will have our first flock arrive for scanning and crating before they leave for their first race the following day. Activities kick off from 5.30pm and anyone is welcome to join us to see what it’s all about. It promises to be a very interesting experience! For more information, please contact Albe on 082 457 5432.
Another activity that you can enjoy at UWBC is snooker and we’re on the lookout for our own Ronnie O’Sullivan! If you’d like to try your hand at the game, or participate in the Snooker Ladder, please contact Joe on 071 992 1150. The draw for a starting position on the ladder will take place on the 22nd of May so be sure to get your name in asap. Rules of the ladder are on the notice board in our snooker room.
On Wednesday’s the uMgeni Darts Association have been busy with their social and league darts and with 8 permanent dart boards up in the clubhouse they’ve grown steadily. Anyone wanting more information can contact Bundy on 079 625 3970.
