Weekly Newsletter – 22nd December, 2024

Well, this will be the last newsletter for the year, so on behalf of the committee, I’d like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year. Stay safe and healthy and enjoy your time with family and friends.

In Wednesday Social Bowls John Hilton, Chicka Thompson and Viv Gunter took out first prize. The Runners Up were Lyndsay Moran, Rod Fokes and Bruce Gornall. Voucher winners were Frank Raczka, Bindi Notara, Rob Tucker and Viv Gunter.

Our Christmas Party was a huge success, with a great crowd of bowlers and their partners having a ton of fun. Lucky Door Prizes went to Brett Irwin, Paddy Bristow, Chris Napper and Andrew Richards. Our President, Barrie Isaac, presented awards to winners and runners up of Club Championships for 2024 (up until the end of June). Those in attendance included:

  • Dave Jones (Minor Singles Winner)
  • Andrew Richards, Rod Fokes, Rod Quirk (Triples Champions)
  • Dave Jones, Dave Napper and Ian Pool (Triples Runners Up)
  • Frank Raczka, Brett Irwin, Trevor Boyle, Rocky Davis (Fours Champions)
  • Keith Collins, Viv Gunter, Dave Napper, Ian Poole (Fours Runners Up)
  • Frank Raczka, Mick Ashford (Pairs Runners Up)
  • Wendy Isaac and Barrie Isaac (Mixed Pairs Champions)
  • Barrie Isaac (Major Singles Champion)
  • Rocky Davis (Major Singles Runner Up)

We were blessed with an entertainment spectacular by that renown group “Rocks in Frocks”, all the way from Kew Vegas. Words fail to describe their performance, you really had to be there to witness these errr ladies perform. I understand this wacky group can be booked via Ticketek for future performances. We also had a Trivia Quiz, with a number of tables proving there intellectual capabilities by having nine correct answers from eight questions.

Bowls this week is limited to Friday Jackpot Triples. As usual, names in by 11.30 for a 12.30 start (mufti dress). There will be no Wednesday bowls on Christmas Day or New Years Day. There will be a Saturday Cashpot on 4th January 2025.

Well, thats the news for this week. Have a great Christmas, and enjoy your bowls. Cheers, Scoop
