Observing Australia Day

 We will be having some Australia Day activities on Tuesday 25/1/22 during social bowls.  You need to put your name down in the usual way but no uniform required that day.  You can wear some Aussie gear instead.   Bowls will proceed as normal but when we finish,  there will be a lucky dip along with the usual rink prizes and raffle.  If you wish to take part, you need to bring something that is MADE in Australia or GROWN in Australia that comes to about $5 in value. Put your thinking caps on and wrap your contribution so they are a surprise. 

As well, we are going to see if we can pass the Australian Citizenship test. Looking forward to see you and joining in the celebrations.  

Access to Breakers Country Club

Hi everyone, 

 I received an email from Breakers Country Club today saying that the Board has reviewed its policy on allowing unvaccinated people into the Club. From the 6th January 2022, Breakers will be allowing both vaccinated and unvaccinated people into the Club , while still adherring to mask wearing and social distancing rules. You will also be required to QR in and have temperature checks. 

 We also have a number of people on the sick list - just the NORMAL things like Sally with a break in her arm, and Bette with something torn in her shoulder and a couple of other members who need a bit of TLC! We are all thinking of you and sending you our best wishes for speedy recoveries. We are pleased to note NO covid, which we are very happy about.You are all doing a very good job, keeping yourselves , and everyone else, safe. We had a nice return to bowls today. 

 The weather was kind, lovely to play on the green that has been out of action for a while- we could not blame any bumps and lumps for stopping the bowls from doing their job. Food for thought!! Hoping to see you all on the green soon.

Another great Xmas party

Thanks everyone for good day today. Great dancing , singing. Nice to see some friends we have not seen for a while. You all looked stunning.

Club Fours results

 Our 2021 Club Fours were finalised today.  The teams were Carol Russell, Toni Hosking, Denise Wickman and Margaret Hickman playing Margaret Lind, Barb Hilliard, Sandra Brammall and Narelle O’ Dwyer.  

Narelle’s team were very worthy winners with the final score being 19-10 in their favour.  They played consistently good bowls as they have done throughout the competition.  Well done girls. 

To my team,  we tried our best and all had good bowls at times.  Well done 

2021 Club Pairs results

 Our 2021 Club pairs have been played and the runners up were Narelle O ‘Dwyer and Sandra Brammall. Our winners were Margaret Hickman and Kim Trethewy.

It’s December already!

 Getting closer and closer to Xmas which means we must be due for another of our very enjoyable Xmas parties! We will be singing , dancing and eating  our way to a good time on Tuesday 15 th December from about 11am.  There may be time for a celebratory drink or two as well. 

We have completed our Club pairs and Club 4’s start on Thursday so we are doing well to complete most of our major competitions for 2021.  We will play Summer Shield  early next year.

No play on Tuesday 28th December as it’s a public holiday but bowls on 4 th January for those who are still around on the Coast. 

Hope to see some spectators on Thursday and for the rain to hold off for us.
