2011 - 2012 Season Opening

The season got away to a good start on Saturday with the official welcome and opening speech from Grant Davis.

16 teams of triples then went out to do battle on green 3 in very nice sunny weather with just enough of a breeze to make the wide hand tricky for those having their first roll up for the season.

After the game, tea was provided for those who wished to stay on.

Thanks to all those who worked behind the scenes to make the day a resounding success.

Herbert Plate

This event was played on Sunday 18^th September  and was well attended by 24 club bowlers in very sunny weather.  It looked like this event may have to be cancelled with only 10 entries on the board on the Saturday. Once again the greens were in magnificent condition thanks to the hard yards that Michael puts into them and also for the support he gets from both Liz and Terry Rossiter. We are really spoilt with the quality of the greens they provide.

Teams were drawn and played with the progressive cards which can be very confusing however we made it in the end. Three rounds of pairs were played and after 2 completed games only 3 members had won 2 games with these being Ramon, Marion and Joy. The latter two were drawn against each other in the last round.

The eventual   winner was Marion Anderson who was most delighted and has promised to take care of the plate till next season. 

Many thanks to the members who assisted in putting out and putting away scrims and boards.

Hi fellow Northern Bowlers.

Well another season kicks off this Saturday with our 2011/2012 season Opening Day.

Last Saturday saw the first action on the greens with a Preseason Pairs tournament.

The weather cooperated and the #3 green played very nicely. 

Michael has done a great job in getting this green ready for the season as usual. Thanks Mike.

This tournament was won by Murray Wood and Max Hutchins

2^nd was Julianne Mills and Keith Hughes.

(Both playing with new bowls, Julianne with her new deep blue with Magenta fleck Bluelines and Keith with Red Cherries. (Vectors).)

3^rd was Neil Gordon and Lynlea Rogers.

It was a great day with all bowls played in good humour and enjoyed by all.
