  Ashburton away in the Winter!

Many Members take the opportunity of taking off North, to warmer climates, during the winter
months.  A large contingent of Ashy Members took to the Bateman's Bay Bowls Carnival in June/July 2010.

16 members played in various combinations, with many giving good accounts of themselves.  While not as successful as last year, Finals appearances and best Games wins were enjoyed... with much fun and socialising happening during the Carnival.

We look forward to the Season Ahead, and the fun of the future Winter Carnivals away!

  End of Season Trip 2009/2010

During the last week of May 2010, 21 happy Ashy Members took to the Road again, to tour with the
Highland Explorer Bus & Coach Captain, Chris... visiting Bright, Beechworth, and other surrounding spots over 6 days.

A marvellous time was had by all, with the Coach safely returning to Ashburton again, and members
eagerly looking forward to their next End-of-Season trip - where will we go next time?
