WOMEN'S BOWLS
Our 2005 bowls year commenced on January 18 when our Patron, Lola English, celebrated her 80th birthday.
The highlight of the day was Lola being presented with a birthday cake, which she shared with the Club members.
Lola makes and decorates a fruitcake for members celebrating their 80th birthdays, so it was very fitting to thank her this way.
The Committee has been very busy hosting the James Wall Shield with 72 players to be catered for.
The morning tea was, as always, well done, with the red-and-white tablecloths adding to the Club looking wonderful.
This was on 31 January and two weeks later the District Fours were at the Club.
With full greens and 72 players the workers were again well in evidence.
The greens are playing so well and many of the players commented on this fact.
For the District Pairs on 5 March we again had eight rinks, which meant thirty two players as well as our own social players on the greens as this was our own social Tuesday playing day.
To the Committee girls who gave up their time and energy we are very grateful, they deserved all our thanks for a wonderful job well done.
The Club Singles has now been played with last year's champion, Pat Rieck again winning against Anne Short after a great hard fought game.
Congratulations to both players.
Next on the list for the Championship Games are the Club Pairs already drawn.
Good luck to all who have entered these events.
To our many sick ladies we hope you will soon be well again and back to bowls.
Our next District event to be hosted at the Club is the final of the District Singles on 31 May.
As there are forty-two entries in this event it will be a great honour for the player who becomes the District Champion.
