Gauteng bowler claims Bluff BC perch
There are a number of club competitions listed on both the women and men’s notice boards.
BLUFF Bowling Club’s New Year’s Eve party was well advertised to all members, there was a DJ and it was well attended by non-members of the club but unfortunately only eight out of a total of about 60 members found it necessary to be there.
If this is going to be what happens to all social functions, the club will have to raise its subs and it’s almost a given that the first members to complain will be those who don’t support these social gatherings.
On to the happier part of the club bowls, the Acutts any pairs was played on Sunday at which there was a great turn-out, thanks to all the Wentworth and Wanderers players who supported the club.
The winners were Eddie Human and Ian Hayes from Dunkeld Bowling Club in Johannesburg, who managed to knock Paul White and Terance McGlynn off the perch. There is now R3,100 in the carry over. It will be interesting to see if Ian will come down for the next game on 7 February. Session prize winners were first session, George Santos and Allen Ritchie and second session went to Daphne Reinhardt and Sarie Bisset. The first board was won by Steve Baker and the second by Norman Robinson.
The whisky was won again by Kurt Spack and the dinner for two donated by Jay was won by Elise Stapelberg, whose husband is in ICU at St Augustine’s. The club wishes Doggy a speedy recovery. Friday night’s attendance draw was won by Glynis Mackrory who was not there to collect the prize so the carry over is now R640 so it is worthwhile for all club members to be there.
There are a number of club competitions listed on both the women and men’s notice boards. Club members are asked to consult the boards and not say they were not told about the competitions.
The men’s drawn trips closes on Sunday, 17 January and the playing dates are 23 and 24 January, so if you can’t make those dates, don’t enter.
Upcoming competitions include the DJ Lashrite any pairs in club colours on Sunday, 17 January and on Thursday, 21 January, there’s a new sponsor for the any pairs competition in mufti. Bluff BC thanks Diving Bell Pub and Grill for the new sponsorship.
The annual twilight trips start on Friday, 22 January at 5pm. There are still a few places left so all bowlers are asked to contact Gary Moffat to enter.
