WOMEN’S BOWLS

The Women’s Bowling Club held their AGM on July 4, and it was pleasing to have almost full attendance. There wasn't much business arising out of the meeting except the tabling on the new fee of $6 for Greenfees and Honorariums of President $100, Secretary $100, Treasurer $50. We also welcomed new member Kathryn Betcher from Merrylands Clubl, who is committed to Merrylands until the end of the year. It’s great to have a new member.
