The winter solstice has come and gone, the days should be getting longer and warmer and conducive to getting out of our armchairs and onto the greens.
The last Sponsored Competition of June was held on a day which started off being very cold. Forty-two hardy bowlers braved the cold and warmed the day with their cheerful smiles.
Bosch Autoworx Howick was represented by two young members of their marketing team (James Rampaul and Juwairia Singh) who also offered additional prizes by way of a spider and a lucky draw. The spider was won by Koos Marais who went home with a gift bag of treats.
The winners of the Plate Prize (not for the first time) were Peter Burton, David and Grace Mainprize. In second place of the main competition were Clark and Heidi Logan and Stephanie Crouse.
The winners of the competition were Colin Burden, a Past President of the club, Rasta Mtshali, the present greenkeeper, and Londiwe Mvelase, a past greenkeeper.
For a number of years Knight Security Solutions (KSS) has been sponsoring a Development Fund at Umgeni Waterfall which is used to help those who wish to play bowls but who need financial assistance. Londiwe was the first person to benefit from the fund, and Rasta is the most recent beneficiary. We thank KSS for their generosity in this regard.
