Thursday morning saw the bowlers competing in the monthly Rawsons breakfast trips competition take to the greens after enjoying their hearty breakfast. In a count-out decision, Herby Hoffman, Alan Bower and Johan Vorster were declared the winners over Jumbo Nel, Brian Smith and Ivor Aylward. Second session prize went to Brian Osman, Chris Pozyn and Paula Osman. The raffled whisky went the way of Rob Philogene and the bottles of Rawsons red wine were taken home by Sharon de Kock and Oom Dirk Venter. The roast meat was won by Tom Cloete. Dawn Spack and Paula Osman shared the booty on the first 60/40 board and Dave Rowe and Andy Cloete pocketed the winnings from second Board. The next Rawsons breakfast trips will be played on 29 September.
Friday’s Bluff Meat men’s bowls saw Brian Smith and Johan Nel take top spot on the rostrum with a convincing plus 14. In second place were Grahan Bransby and Robin de Gouviea. The sportsmen’s award went to Allan Ritchie, Terry Micholson and Wessie van der Westhuizen. Steve Evenwell left the club with a big smile and the raffled pork roast tucked under his arm. Ben Venter was equally satisfied with the beef roast he won. Ken Koch and Andy ‘J’ were the winners on the 60/40 board.
The club welcomes home the regular organisers of the Friday bowls, Tomcat and Maria Cavanagh, and hopes their family holiday in the UK has afforded them many happy memories.
Sunday’s Grand Rapids Big Jim pairs competition resulted in the second count out decision in a week. This time it was Kurt and Dawn Spack who won the day over Stevie Baker and Moses Nuba. The second session prize went to Herbie Roux and Johan Nel. Kurt added to his winnings when he won the first prize on the 60/40 board, while Margaret Walters pocketed the second prize. Brendon Davies won the raffled meat roast and Mouse Ratcliffe took home the whisky.
A big thank you is extended to Ellen Loots who sacrificed her game to step up to the plate and take on the morning’s bar duty. Next month’s Big Jim pairs will be held on 25 September.
