A good turn out of 52 bowlers for Tuesday Social pairs. The cool conditions were alleviated by the occasional burst of sunshine making for an enjoyable day on the green.
Two names that pop up quite often in the Winners position are the mixed club pair of Steve Rose (Goolwa BC) & Kym McCrostie (Port Elliot BC). Another familiar pair are GBC bowlers Daniel Krebbekx & Geoff Dutton in the Runners Up position. Also from Goolwa BC are John Lynch & Kevin Willersdorf who were Best Second Game Winners.
Well played everyone and a hearty thanks to the volunteers.

Social bowls - Tuesday pairs

52 bowlers took part in this event and although it was initially a cool, overcast day with a little drizzle the competition was hot.

The winners were Victor Harbor Bowling Club pair David Cannon & Gislain Delamere.
Runners Up were Goolwa’s Peter Hallion & Victor Harbor’s Jody Kraguljac.
It is is pleasing to see the Goolwa ladies pair Denise Stringer & Cathy Simpson take the prize for Best Second Game Winners, well done ladies.

Thank you to all the volunteers, especially those who work behind the scenes and might not get the recognition they deserve.

Hopefully we will see you all again next Tuesday 26th May.

Those 20 bowlers who played in the Saturday Social Bowls were rewarded with unexpected excellent weather. The forecast had suggested rain and perhaps this contributed to the low number of participants. However, as the Crows were playing an afternoon game at home this is more likely to be the reason.
The organisers decided the numbers could be more effective in games of pairs using the 2x4x2 format for 2 games each of 11 ends.
The events Winners were Rob Kaplan & David Evans closely followed by Runners Up Grant Wilson & Les Hughes.

Mark Doley excelled in the kitchen providing a snack of chips for all present. The chips were enjoyed by all although nearly resulting in a fight at one table when 2 bowlers vied for the crispy bits in the bottom of the bowl.

Thank you to all the volunteers who organised the days event, worked behind the bar, helped in the kitchen & layed out the rinks.
Despite the low numbers it was a very enjoyable day.
Come and join us next Saturday 23rd May for a 12:00 start.

Congratulations to the winners & we hope that all players had an enjoyable day.

The cool conditions brought a touch of wintery weather to the Goolwa greens. However, the bowlers played with vigour with the visitors taking the lions share of the prizes.

Winter Social Bowls: Sat 25th April.

On this rain free ANZAC Day 28 bowlers participated in 2 games that were initially a bit testing due to a typical Goolwa breeze. However, the wind relented and allowed the games to be completed under calm conditions.
Those mounting the imaginary podium were Winners: Jim Hutton & Les Hughes, and Runners Up: Ian Daynes, Dave Evans & Tag Hunter.

A big thank you to Cathy Simpson & Andrea Radley who have taken on the task of organising Sat Social Bowls and the steep learning curve it entails. And, a pat on the back for Graham Cowling for showing the Young Maidens the way. Thank you to the nameless volunteers who helped make the day run smoothly.
