Plenty of brightly wrapped gifts around the Christmas tree today as the Christmas-themed Trading Table was happening!
Thanks everyone for participating and thank you Rhona and the team for decorating our club ready to celebrate! It looks very festive and puts us in the mood!
Ground Control donned their Santa hats to gift us yet another perfect green to play on. We really appreciate the efforts of every volunteer all through the year – greens, gardens, lawns, trees – it all takes time and effort! Thank you!

Congrats go to Carol Reed and Ann Tracy for winning their Minor Pairs match against the twins, Nat and Naomi, last Saturday. Great game by all reports!
It was a scorcher of a morning for the Minor Pairs match between Fran Dixon/Kay Craft and Annie Smith/Lil Thompson today. Fran and Kay led throughout with some sparkling bowls, but Annie and Lil kept them in their sights with positive defensive play. At the final end, with heat stroke threatening all players, the mischievous elf ran amok with the pink and peach bowls, giving the jack a wide berth, and gifting the match to Lil and Annie. Congratulations to you all for entering and having a go at the Club Minors! Team Smith play Team Reed in the final next Tuesday! This will be a jolly good tussle to decide who bags the title!
Fab to see Michelle McPhee along for another game as she teamed up with Ann T and Marja in an even matchup against Valmai, Lynn & Sue White. That rink looked like a box of smarties had spilt all around the jack, such a mix of colours! But the candy canes prize went to Team White by just 2 points!
Robyn and Lea played consistently and totted up an impassable lead on rink 17 versus Lorraine and Rose, who couldn’t buy a winner! We called time before anyone wilted!
Lucky Maureen M won the biggest denomination in the 100’s club. Betsy was surprised to hear her name called out for the raffle, with Rose 2nd. Big thanks to Maureen, Lorraine and Lea for sponsoring.
Rink 19 did not win the jackpot draw, which climbs to a healthy $120!
Everyone was keen to get on with the Trading Table gift-giving! Hands were flying up everywhere to claim a winner, until we got to Liz . . . and Joanie . . . well, I guess it was exhausting sitting inside in the air-con with your feet up!
Only two weeks until our Christmas Bowls Day and shared Chrissy lunch! The list of items for the spread has grown steadily and looks delicious! Dec 10 is the date!
