On Saturday (6 July) the club held mixed social bowls with four games of triples played. The equal winners were Wayne Dobbin and Wayne Foster. The equal runners-up were Johnno Johnson and Ed Diery. The attempt at the jackpot was unsuccessful.
There will be no social bowls this coming Saturday, as Warwick East is hosting the District Two-Bowl triples competition. They will be back on Saturday 20 July. Saturday 20 July is also the cut-off date for nominations for the club’s two-bowl singles competition. This is not a format they have used before, so they will be interested in hearing the comments of the participants. The competition is being sponsored by Graham Steed of Warracknabeal Bowls Club.
Finally, there is a sign-up sheet for anyone wanting a club name badge.
