MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
A reminder that the 2024 membership fees are now due.

Thanks to all those members who have already renewed. In order to accommodate 26 new members, I will need to update the tag board in the draw room. If you have not renewed your membership your tag may be removed. To avoid this please advise me if you plan to renew soon. I would also appreciate knowing whether or not you intend to keep your locker.

First Bowl of 2024
Well wasn’t it great to be out on the green again!
The first Bowl was bowled by Markey Pellow, who joined the club 29 years ago and is still an avid bowler with the club.
Sixty four members ( 5 novices) joined in the draw. A little rain didn’t deter the bowlers as shortly the sun appeared and it was a wonderful afternoon.
A social time was held after the draw in the club house, providing an opportunity to meet our novices and friends after the winter break.
Enjoy the coming bowling season with draws, club tournaments, open tournaments, fun days and leagues.
GREAT BOWLING

The game will be “Score 10!”- Play proceeds as normal
- But, rather than only one team counting shot bowls, the closest 4 bowls to the jack will count.
- The closest bowl will count 4, then the next one will count 3, then 2 and finally 1 point.
- This means that although team A is shot, team B could score 6 points.
- If an end is burnt, the burning team will score 3 and the other team will score 7 points.
- Play to be 10 ends.
Sign-up until MONDAY, July 15TH at the club or below.
NOTE: Only the first 48 bowlers are eligible to bowl.
