Congratulations to Gus Jackson who filled in for a Railton indoor bowler who had to work during the state championships. Yes, Gus is a state champion, helping Railton win the Div 3 final, the only final won by the north-west this year.
Helen Squibb won the last night of cribbage for the year, well done Helen. Now that crib and indoor bowls have concluded it must be time to shine the big bowls.
For the history minded, Spreyton played Devonport at Ulverstone last Sat in what was most likely the last game played between the two clubs. Devonport were victorious
Nomination forms are on the notice boards for selectors, both men and women for the coming season. There is to be a selector from each club (Spreyton and Devonport) to select teams in the various divisions. Each pair of selectors will do two divisions ie in the Ladies, Div 1 & 2, and another pair for Div 3 & 4. Nominations close on 8th of Sept so come and put your hand up now.
