There was plenty of storm and rain in Stanthorpe throughout the past week and conditions stymied many of the planned activities at the Stanthorpe Bowls Club however after what the district has endured recently no one really complains about that moist stuff falling from the sky.
Mid-week social bowlers still managed two games of three bowls triples played. Val White
David Rose and Peter Smith proved too strong for Greg Hammond, Bruno
Stefanon and Brian Brown and scored a 21-12 win. Helen Jones, Rocky
Thompson and Robyn Rose outplayed Ernie Jones, Dot Rankin and Robyn Smith. The final score in their game 25-16.
Following the game there were birthday celebrations for Brian Brown complete with a cake made by Robyn Rose.
On Saturday bowlers had one eye on the skies and the other on the green and were midway through triples games when play was abandoned due to the fierce storm. When play was stopped after 14 ends Rocky Thompson, Dot Rankin and
Brian Brown were leading R, Thompson Greg Hammond and Mark Wicks 17-12 and
Robyn Smith, Tom Hodgson and Jack Bell were well ahead in their game against
Helen Jones, Bruno Stefanon and Peter Smith holding a 23-6 lead.
