On Sunday the women’s teams heading to Windang to play in the State Pennant Championships in early August had a training run against two men’s teams and some great bowls was played in front of a good crowd.

The final of the minor singles between Nathan Reynolds and Scott Allen should be organised to be played shortly and should be a great game to watch.

This Friday the members badge draw is $1000 and the lucky rink this Thursday is $250, so come on down to the club this week.
