Another bowling year comes to an end with a members' dinner at Magpies Waitara (Thanks! The food was great!). There was a great turnout with great food and drink and some dancing.
After the food was served the Clark Awards were presented. Points awarded toward the Clark Award are determined by the number of games a bowler bowls above their average. It's a great measure of a bowler's improving ability.
Congratulations to the winners:
On Saturday 15th October 2022, Adam, Candice, Dom, Lauren, Natham, Tim and Warren travelled to Orange for the Orange Disability Championship.
As we have not bowled for some time, some bowlers were a tad rusty, but they all had fun and warmed up in the end.
The most outstanding bowlers were Adam and Natham in a Doubles series with Adam bowling 23 over average and scoring 212 in the first game whilst Natham bowled 15 over average.
Well done to all!
We hosted the Rockets Invitational!
Adam, Brett, Candice, Dom, Elizabeth, Emma C, Emma M, Gerry, Jeremy, Lauren, Natham, Patrick, Tim and Warren bowled at our recent The Rockets Disability Invitational held on 27th and 28th August 2022.
We have not held this competition for 2 years due to covid, so it was great to be back with all our friends.
We had a wonderful result with our raffles - $700+ profit. Many thanks to the parents and bowlers for donating the products and thanks to Lucy for beautifully putting them all together.
