Restricted Triples tournament Nominations: requirements are per flyer, and nominations close on 19 August.

Fred Maw Memorial Mixed Pairs Tournament sponsored by ADIACARE is now full, which is very pleasing, as it was only published a little over a week ago.

If anyone is unaware, Fred was a three-time Past President and also held many other positions within the club. His name is on the clubhouse Honour Board, having won multiple championships during his long association with the club, not to mention being the “Orange Ex-Services’ Club Member of the Year” a few years back, beating several other sub-club nominees for the honour.

With the tournament filling up so fast, it just goes to show what a wonderful Clubman Fred was and how highly he was thought of by all his fellow bowlers.

Nominations for the over 40s Pairs are also available and close on 11 August.

The Rookie Singles, sectional round robin and final will be played at the Country Club on the 1st and 2nd August. Social Bowls will still be on, whilst the Rookies are being played on the Saturday.
