We had three rinks of triples on Saturday but unfortunately I have mislaid the cards, sorry about that, just lucky it wasn’t an important one.
Looking ahead we have competition and social on Saturday, KFC on Wednesday 16 and the next sponsored Sunday will be Steele’s Bakery on Sunday 27 July.
We welcome ladies and visitors on any of these social days, names in by 12.30pm for play at 1pm. Phone 4661 1516.
