A Wonderful Week at Wangaratta Bowls Club

The Wangaratta Bowls Club has had another fantastic week of bowls, with both exciting social games and important updates for the future of the club.

Tuesday Social Bowls saw some thrilling competition, with Stumpy Adams, Margaret Wilson, and Penny Warren emerging victorious over Merle Elphinstone, Sue Shearing, Linda Smith, and Mark Drummond. In another exciting match, Geoff Danvers and Lyn Danvers defeated Greg Colquhoun in a competitive showdown. Unfortunately, the jackpot didn't go off, leaving anticipation building for the next round.

On Sunday morning, members gathered for their respective Annual General Meetings (AGMs), where they discussed the direction and future of the club. A big congratulations to those who accepted executive positions. Mark Drummond will continue as the Men’s President, and Margaret Wilson will take the lead as Ladies’ President. These experienced leaders are sure to steer the club toward another successful year. The Board AGM is set for Sunday, 8 December 9am at the clubhouse.

After a wonderful lunch following the AGM, only a few stayed behind for a game of bowls. Jim Quod and Kevin Daniels took home the win on Rink 3, defeating Lindy Suann and Alby Vigar. In another close match, Merle Elphinstone, Teresa Willshire, and Dot Slater narrowly defeated Toni Bowen, Laurie Land, and Penny Warren. The jackpot once again didn’t go off, adding to the excitement for the next game.
