Susie’s Turn around Triples

 The day was fine and the wind was a bit unpredictable but everyone had a good time on the green trying out new roles for 6 ends each. Thank you to Sue Staples for sponsoring this event.  It does make you appreciate what is involved in each position. 

Suzie’s Turnaround Triples

 This Tuesday 22nd September is a Fun Day and we are playing Suzie’s Turnaround Triples, which is sponsored by Sue Staples.

We play 18 ends of 3 bowl triples. The draw is a blind draw.

CONDITIONS OF PLAY

1. No dead ends - if jack is out of bounds it is replaced on the T.

2. You change player position every 6 ends ( keep reading - it’s not too hard)

3. The cards will be marked in 6 end groups.

4. Start the game as per the cards then after 6 ends, the lead goes to second, the second goes to skip and skip goes to lead . Keep rotating in this way every 6 ends.

5. The FIRST SKIP keeps the card.

6. SCORING - highest score is the winner. If there is a tie, the winner of last end is declared the winner.

7. If anyone is having trouble measuring, please ask a team mate to help you .

It’s a fun day, so please ask if you have any questions .

Sue Staples.🥳🥳🥳

Winter Shield 2020

 Our Winter Shield was held today with plenty of members vying for the shield. The weather was beautiful and it was a lovely day on the green.  The winners for this year were Carol Russell and Gaie Keating. They received the trophy from Betty Troy.  Betty and her late husband , Alan , have sponsored this event for many years which we really appreciate. 

Club triples

 Entry for Club Triples is now open.  Could a member of the team please message me your names or send an email to Sue Perdriau or bring it with you next Tuesday. Entries close on 6th October , 2020. Remember we will play Tuesday AND Thursday for the Triples. First playing day is 13th October,2020. 

Winter Shield is next week. Enter via club website as usual. Just check that the correct date 15th September is there before you press submit button. Please remember that the Winter Shield is a pairs game.  The draw is a blind draw done by Selection On the day - you do not have to have organised a team.

Congratulations to everyone and see you on 👏the green soon

Super social Sunday bowls

 Sunday bowls  is well and truly BACK.  Please ring or SMS Sue Staples 0407912294before 8.30 am on Sunday.  You can ,of course, contact her before that. 

We will be bowling next Sunday , Father’s Day if you are not involved with other celebrations.

Good news for this week

 Firstly, Happy birthday to Helen Tristram for this Friday 4th September.  Best wishes from everyone Helen.

It has taken members a little while to feel comfortable coming back to bowls but we are really happy with the number of members who have bowled over the last few Tuesdays. Plenty of sunshine as well and no wind today which made for a lovely day.  At our Committee meeting today, it was decided to post our Club Triples. We will start taking entries from 8/9/20, close entries on 6/10/20 and commence competition on 13/10/20. Remember , we do play TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS for competitions. We hope there will be lots of entries.

As well, Winter shield will be played on 15/9/20  and Suzie’s Turn around Triples on 22/9/20.  No special entries needed for these, just put your name down on website as we do for normal Tuesday bowls.

As you can see, we are getting back to normal ( well, Covid normal) which highlights the need for people to put their hand up with Expressions of Interest at AGM NEXT TUEDAY. It will be greatly appreciated by everyone if you think you can fill a vacancy.

Thanks again everyone for your support and we hope to see you at the AGM next week. Arrive at Breakers at 10 and come in to our old bowling room. We will be bowling afterwards so bring your gear if you want to stay.

Cheers everyone

Margaret
