News Update - 5 Nov 09

Apart from the indifferent weather the season seems to have started well with club champs underway, Skogs finally started (a 6 team clean sweep this week against Terrace End!) and the midweek aggregate also well under way.

Mates In Bowls
The highlight this week has been the very successful first night of Mates In Bowls. Many thanks to all the willing helpers who attended last night. The 26 teams were all very well looked after and the positive comments from them indicating great assistance and encouragement from our club members. I heard many of the visitors saying that they can’t wait for next Wednesday. We do expect another couple of teams next week so we do need your ongoing help with running the evening. If you couldn’t make it last night but would like to help out please be at the club by 5:30pm next Wednesday.

Friday Night
It is good to see a growing crowd enjoying our traditional Friday evening social night. Last week’s fish and chip meal which followed housie was popular and I am sure that Bill will be doing that again soon. This Friday will see the very popular Racing Night happen again. For the grand sum of $2 entry you stand to win BIG (just ask Joan) with phantom bets placed on a number of live races and the winner being the person who makes the most from the $5 each way phantom bets. The large screen will be set up and racing guides provided. The first race is at 5:30pm so be there in plenty of time to register and make your first pick. Bring your friends for the best value for money night you will have in a long time.

Centre Triples and Pairs
Good luck to those of you playing in these centre events this weekend.

Club Roll Up
For those of you not playing the centre events there will be a club roll up on both thisSaturday and Sunday afternoons at 1:00pm. Names on the blackboard in the men’s locker room please or phone in your name by 12:30pm each day.

See you all on the green again soon
