We are well into the Winter at the moment and many bowlers from interstate and bowlers from New Zealand have travelled to our beautiful paradise to stay in the warmth of our beautiful weather.
We welcomed Pip and Steve Heddles from Arrowtown Bowls Clun in South Island New Zealand, Adrian Stoeckel from Willunga Bowls Club in Victoria, and Gary Horne from Werribee.
With last week's guests still here, we had extremely competitive matches played this week.
Starting on Tuesday afternoon bowls, we saw once again Ladda Purdie at her absolute best and with the very popular Lyn Graham and newcomer Phil Holden prove far too strong for the rest of the field.
Wednesday afternoon Social Jackpot bowls brilliantly organised by Merve Stewart saw again big fields and it was the pairs game with Rick Galea and Stacey Hadlow the big winners of the day, and Nik with the stick Fernbach for the second time take home the prestigious Health Hub award.
Saturday morning second round of Scroungers again superbly organised by John Askew saw first round winners Harry Quod, Tony Whitehorn, Warren Mills, John Askew, Col Morris and interstate visitor Adrian Stoekel, with the final being played by Warren Mills and Adrian Stoekel, with Warren Mills far too good on the day with Group B winner Steve Heddles from Arrowtown New Zealand.
Sunday afternoon social bowls saw again 36 bowlers turn out with some great bowling performances, but it was our Chairman whom showed every one of his extraordinary improvement this year, leading his team of Lyn Graham, with Ken Warner big winners of the day with Steve Heddles taking home the prestigious Health Hub award.
Saturday afternoon also saw the completion on the 2022 Mixed Fours with skipper Peter Barratt, Col Morris, Russell Jackson, and Henny Tattam finally crowned last year's winner s we'll done to all players.
