There were some creative team names with the "Encouragement Award" going to the 8 Amigoes.
Third place went to The Nomadic Travelers.
2nd place to Bowls & Brains.
And it was the Juan J Amigos taking the win.

If anyone ever wondered what happens to our green when the bowling season ends. In short, our members roll their sleeves up and get stuck in.
We have concreted one of our banks; completed the annual green renovation which included a bloody lot of wheel barrowing to dethatch, core, top-dress and fertilize the green and installed a new security system.
Many will recognize those in the photos and there are quite a few who were unavailable or camera shy who helped in other ways and also some very generous people from outside of the club such as
Phil who we get to do the coring with the machine from the (Well done on your retirement too Phil.)
Andrew from who generously carted the sand.
Dylan McMeekin from Living Turf for his expertise for which Errol would be lost without.
Also, thanks to Matt who drove 6hrs to collect and return the hired top-dress machine from at Koo Wee Rup.
Craig and Carla at Prom Meats who donated snags for the troops.
The fellas at concreted the renovated bank.
Thank you Alberton Timber for supporting our bank project also.

A tiring week but we'll worth it.
