The mixed pairs draw has been done and the following matches need to be played by October 7 please, Ross and Tracey Hunter Vs The Bye, Keith And Pat Brus Vs Rodney O’Neill and Julie Wood, Stephan and Lyn Galvin Vs Quentin and Joy Murray and Andrew Armstrong and Sonia Ingall Vs Graeme Hunter and Coral Percival with the winners of these matches needing to play the semi- final games needing to be played by October 12 and the final by October 27.

There is still a little while to get your names in for the mixed fours championship if there are any more teams out there.

We will be trialling open social bowls on Sundays with a 1.00pm start for eight weeks to see if this increases the number of bowlers playing on the weekends it will be played in mufti and any new bowlers are most welcome to come along and try the game of lawn bowls.

The club is also putting on the Goldminers Christmas Cup business house bowls competition and this will run from November 1 till December 13.

The competition will have weekly winners with the major prize for the competition being a Christmas party for the winning business for twenty people to the value of $1,000.00 at the bowling club. You need three people per team each week the only restriction is that you can only have one registered bowler in your team each week. Contact the club for further details.

The bowls jackpot this week was odd rinks on the third end and winning by one shot. There were no winners so the jackpot stands at $131.00 next week.

In closing the committee would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new president Keith Brus and committee man Quentin Murray on board for the up coming year.
