Congregants of the Apostoliese Geloofsending enjoyed a day on the Alberton Bowling Club’s greens when they took on each other in an informal game of bowls.
The game was organised by Chris Rossouw, a church member, with the help of the Alberton Bowling Club, to get church members to have fun and learn more about the sport.
Brackenhurst senior and sports lover Petro Joubert (97) delivered the first bowl at the start of a game, paving the way for other players to enjoy the game.
The many novice players enjoyed the game and were given trophies as appreciation for their participation.
Pastor Johan Smith said the game was a social event that aimed to build good relations with church members.
“This was an informal team-building event for the members of the church to get together on a different level. We don’t get the time to interact in an informal way like this, that’s why we needed to host the game. Many of our senior members are lonely and appreciate such outings,” he said.
He described bowling as a gentleman’s sport, an easy and enjoyable sport ideal for seniors. Smith also thanked the club for accommodating them.
