A very generous member shared pancakes, jam and cream with the ladies after bowls finished, thank you Betsy.

Kim Evans, Kate Keogh and Minnie Riordan had a see=saw match against Di Howell, Christine Cox and Joan Simpson, with much laughter happening, and resulting in a draw.

Brenda Davies, Chris Curteis and June Burgess came out winners in a hard fought match against Robyn Morgan, Maureen Baillee and Carol Reid.

Dianne Greenhalgh, Lorraine Baker and Jan McPhee had a convincing win against Kay Craft, Marja Iffland and Merilyn Rodgers, the score not indicative of the enjoyment of all the players. Kay Craft displaying a special talent for number of touches of the jack!
