On Sunday we had our Presentation Day and trophies were presented to all our champions for the past season.
Beforehand we had a game of social bowls played in glorious Autumn weather and there was a great turn-out as a game of triples was played before the presentations.
Winners were Jim Richards, Rob “Curly” Curtis and Jeff Anderson as they were the only team to win both games.
Runners-up were Rosie Laughlin, Jim McLeish and Rob Fisher on a win and a tie and eight shots up and the encouragement chocolates went to Marlene Orr, Ken Pay and Rob Fabry.
Social bowls will now continue on Thursdays and after consultation with members, Sunday will replace Saturday while the football season draws members to their games.

It was great to hear that Mick Pors and Allison Medson had the first of potentially, many more wins, when they were the only three game winner on Kerang’s last day of their annual Easter Tournament.
A cigar and a champagne were reward for their great day.
