Presidents Day

A fun day was had by all at the recent Presidents Day, honouring Graham Goldsack’s term as President this year.

Following a scrumptious BBQ lunch, a social game of bowls was held.  Much competition was shown on the greens, good to see so many members enjoying the greens and club!

After the game, our ladies provided a lovely afternoon tea, where presentations were made to “Winners” of the fanned cards, of APT Touring prizes – a great sponsorship!

President Graham was presented with an esky with some amber fluids by our Social Committee – thanks to all who organized, ran, and participated in the day, and thanks to Margie Edmonds of APT Touring for providing the prizes.

Our thanks to Graham, our hard working President, may your term continue to be a happy and healthy one!

   

 


  

Wednesday Night Bowling
 

Every Wednesday, rotating between Ashburton, Camberwell Central and Bennettswood Clubs, commencing at 7.00pm.  We usually play 2 games of 10 ends, and conclude with a very sociable supper around 9:45 - 10.00pm.

All bowlers are welcome to place their name on the appropriate sheet on the club bench to advise your intention to attend, or phone Ray Salmon on 9511 4065 by Wednesday afternoon to reserve a spot for some hassle free bowling with folk you know quite well, and have the opportunity to become friendly with those from the other clubs involved.

Bowlers in their early stages of their bowling careers are most welcome to be part of these nights, and keep adding to their bowling experience.  Most nights seem to be compatible weather-wise, but there is no compulsion to play through uncomfortable weather.  Dress is casual, but newer bowlers are advised that bowls shoes are essential.

Please plan to expand your skills in both bowling and in sociability, and increase your bowling enjoyment as you share these nights with a friendly group.

The 2nd Semi Final was played between David Wight and Mike O'Shea, won by Mike O'Shea. The final was played between Ray and Mike, after a close tight game at the start, Ray went on to win.

 R.V.B.A Pairs

The RVBA Pairs Championship was a resounding successful tournament, with the final being played by the pairs of Ray Namour and Anton Poropat against Peter Simos and Ken Lawrence. The Final was a close game and was only decided on the final end, when Anton trailed the the Jack into the ditch to win the end and the match. Thank you to all participants, and best of luck to all next season!


Thank you to all participants, and good luck next season to all.
