WELL DONE BOYS

 

Merry Christmas, 2022!

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:

Some pictures of the festivities:

The Committee wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year. See you all in February.

ORANGE!

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!
