Melbourne Cup Day brought a festive atmosphere to the Wangaratta Bowls Club as social players combined their love of bowls with a few sweeps to mark the occasion. The green saw some great competition, with the afternoon's winners being Deb Retchless, Sue Shearing, and Gavin Charles, who defeated Merle Elphinstone, Lyn Danvers, Robyn Stitt, and Stumpy Adams. In another match, Geoff Danvers triumphed over Lindy Suann and Greg Colquhoun. The jackpot, however, remains unclaimed.
Mixed Competition Update
The draw for the mixed competition is now complete and available at the club. Players wishing to pre-play their games are encouraged to coordinate with Graeme Read to arrange suitable times.
Sunday Afternoon Triples
Sunday saw two triples matches played under warm conditions, with the sea breeze from Queens Beach offering some respite. In the first match, Teresa Willshire, Kevin Baxter, and Kennedy Whitton emerged victorious against Jim Quod, Gavin Charles, and Pat Tracey. The second game saw Merle Elphinstone, Albi Vigar, and Kevin Jewell defeat Nadine Land, Laurie Land, and Mark Drummond. The jackpot, once again, did not go off.
Upcoming Event: High Tea Lunch and AGM
The club’s Annual General Meeting will take place on Sunday, November 24, followed by a High Tea Lunch at 12 noon and bowls at 1:30 pm. Members are encouraged to add their names to the lunch sign-up sheet on the board outside the club.
Wangaratta Bowls Club continues to be a hub of activity, bringing members together for great competition and camaraderie.
