On Saturday the diehards turned up for mixed social bowls, despite the threatening rain. We also welcomed two visitors from Adelaide and one from Maleny. We started playing one game of triples and two of pairs before the rain finally arrived and curtailed things. We did play enough ends to determine winners, who were Lynn Collie and Steve Trowse. We couldn’t have our jackpot attempt, which will be held next Saturday.
Thursday, 6 June is the club’s monthly triples competition, with play starting at 10am. On Saturday there will be mixed social bowls as usual, with play starting at 1pm.
