The joker draw reached a jackpot of R19,710 and was won by bowls nationals team entry of Robin Grobler, Tommy Simpkins, Gary Moffat and Jeff Bolt. With Tommy, Gary and Jeff playing bowls in Bergville’s annual tournament, Robin accepted the challenge and unmasked the elusive Joker. Well done to them. Organisers Clive and Diane will be taking a well earned “rest” from selling tickets, but are keen to commence in the near future with a new draw, so watch the press for details. The club thanks them for their fundraising efforts.
The scribe advises all bowlers (members and visitors) that Bob Hayward will be hosting a league training session on 21 March at 9am in mufti. All are encouraged to attend. The idea is to do some evaluation exercises for front rank and back rank, and then have a game thereafter. Should you wish to assist with marking, that will also be appreciated. Call Bob on 076-403-2265.
Saturday, 25 March sees the men’s PNB singles (men/women/open and seniors) being hosted at Amanzimtoti at 1pm. Support Bob Hayward who will be representing the club in the men’s senior singles last four.
The R10,000 draw being organised between Rhumbelow Shellhole, Stella Bowling Club and Durban Wanderers Bowling Club will be hosted at the club on Friday, 31 March. The draw will be done around 7.30pm should you wish to attend.
The annual VC Memorial will also be held on Monday, 1 May – two bowlers or two non-bowlers are encouraged to enter, call Jeff for details on 082-808-7793.
