Tuesdays afternoon delivered perfect bowling weather, and our members turned out in force for the tabs competition. The greens were lively, the banter even livelier, and by the end of the day, it was clear it was "Stegmann Day" at the club. Both Pieter and Margaret Stegmann's teams ended the day on the winners’ podium, pulling off a husband-and-wife double.
Pieter led his trio of Dougie Spring and Theo Kemp to claim the day’s champion honours and the bragging rights of the day. Margaret wasn’t to be outdone either, and was an intergral part of her teams win, making sure the Stegmann's name did a clean sweep for the day.
And then the rains came, and came, and came again. For us bowlaholics, it left everyone staring out the window, wondering if there really is life after bowls.
With the downpours showing no signs of letting up, all our competitions had to be cancelled for the week.
Fortunately, our friendly neighbours at Port Alfred BC's whose greens had dried out sufficiently, hosted our members for Saturday afternoons tabs which turned out to be the highlight of the week.
Huge thanks to Radue Optometrists who sponsored the afternoons prizes.
Best of luck to our players who competed in the Mini District trials at Port Alfred BC on Sunday: Jackie Kriel, Vonnie Hill, Ronel Hough, Judy Alexander, Wendy Heny, Joanne Brown, Christa von Gericke, Megan Kriel, and Shiela Spring. We’re proud of your efforts and representation on the greens.
The final district team will be announced later on this week.
Lastly, congratulations to Jonty Alexander, Justin Louw, Peter May, Andries Bezuidenhout and Sean Wiblin for being chosen to represent the Mens Mini Districts team during the weekend of 24th to 27th Sepember in Somerset East. We are all very proud of you.
