To play Black Duck, call the club on 5452 1194 by 11am for a 12.30 start, or, preferably, have your name down on the list on the noticeboard by the day before.
Our annual all-abilities bowling sessions will start on May 12. Anyone interested in helping please contact Gayle Teasdale.
Congratulations to Kevin Teasdale and Barbara Williams on receiving their trophies at our presentation night for our club singles championships recently. They are truly worthy recipients as many close games were involved.
Well done to our midweek Division 1 and 2 bowlers, who were officially presented with the pennant flag and a team photo. A great effort by both teams.
Special mention to Tunna for his medallion recognising 50 years membership and an estimated 1000 games of Saturday and Midweek pennant for the club. An achievement which will probably never be repeated.
Our thoughts at this time are of “Buddha”, who is in hospital. Joe said at our presentation night that she had called him that night and he was feeling much better. Let’s hope he returns to the club very soon.

COOLER conditions seemed to have arrived with the temperature being a bit lower this week for our Thursday bowls. However we had a good complement of bowlers with a caravanning couple, Les and Maya, from Bairnsdale joining us for the second game.
Rob “Curly” Curtis and Allison Medson had two wins and 13 shots up, to be the winners on the day, just in front of Mick Pors and Trevor Burmeister, joined by Les, to be the runners-up with two wins as well and 10 shots up. The “encouragement” award went to Jim and Sonia McLeish with losses in both games. Maya joined them in the second game, so she received an award as well.
The club was well represented at the Pyramid Hill Seafood Day last Sunday, but none were able to get in the prize-winners. Thanks to all who support local tournaments, as this helps to encourage members of neighbouring clubs to come to play in events at our club.
Our second day of Sunday bowls was a “Scroungers” day and Laurie Gray was the winner in a play-off against the “in-form” Stuart Robinson. Well done to all who participated.
Numbers will be swelled next week as the Demons (who were at the MCG singing the song again) will be in attendance as their team travels to Western Australia for a game against West Coast. Members and visitors are reminded that Social Bowls is held each Thursday and Sunday, with a 12.45 pm registration, for a 1pm start. Everyone will be made most welcome.
