In another second round game in men’s nominated pairs, Coy Schrauwen and Ray Robinson lost to Barry Buckland and Jeff van Belkum.
The winners of the Victory KwikSpar mixed 2-4-2 were Liz Morgan-Davies and Micky Roche. Second place went to Ian and Marion Crouch, third place to Mardi Dovale and Kokkie de Kock. First session to Mac and Joyce McRory, second session to Jeff and Margaret van Belkum and 13th place to Leon van Rensburg and Karen Shepherd. The Continental prize went to Christine and Tony Darley, and the mystery prize to Yvonne Wright. Thanks go to the sponsors Alan and Denise Hawkins for the prizes and free drinks.
Men’s league results are as follows: First division A lost 2-5; second division B won 5-2; third division C won 5-2; fifth division D won 5-2; sixth division E lost 2-3; 6th division F won 3-2; 8th division G lost 1-4.

The Picardy Bazooka Shellhole fund-raiser was a great success and thanks go to all who supported it. The winners were Ian Shearer, Ken Baker, Betty M and Bernie Bretherton. Second was Coy Schrauwen, Martin, Maureen and Charlotte Kohl; 3rd was Ian Mills, Barry Buckland, Robbie Roberts and Stuart Pickles, and the Continental prize went to Clive Hambley, Ken Leech, Mike Ethell and Alison Neumann. Ian Mills won the clock raffle, Hennie WP van der Poel won the R100 John Dory voucher and Rina and Das Veldsman won the R250 voucher from Winklespruit Pick n Pay. Thanks go again to the generous sponsors.
At TGIF the 100 board was won by Pete Shepard. Herman van Zyl was not present to win the members draw, so the pot rises to R250 for next week. Eric Gardner’s number was drawn in the key draw, but the key didn’t fit, so the pot rises to about R2,000 next week.
On Good Friday, 3 April all three greens will be available for social games in the afternoon, however only one green will be available for social bowls in the morning, as the greens are being prepared for the mixed fives festival on Saturday and Sunday, 4 and 5 April. Cardings are up for 11 April for women’s nominated pairs, as are the team selections for the women’s weekend inter-club league. There is also a request for volunteers to help in the kitchen for the Mixed 5’s Festival (4 and 5 April) and the Oppenheimer (12, 19 and 26 April).
Birthdays for this week are Bill Riley, Clive Frank, Meryl Hambley, Marion Crouch, Mike Morris and Dalene Pretorius. Get well wishes are also sent to members who are not well.
