On Thursday, July 10, there were no social bowls due to the freezing and wet weather. A lovely warm hot chocolate, marshmallows, and some laughs were had instead by the seven ladies who braved the cold and came to the Country Club.

Upcoming gala days include Orange City on July 22, and Bathurst Majellan on August 13.

On Thursday July 3, 11 ladies attended the trivia at Orange Ex-Services’ Greenhouse of Orange enjoying a lovely dinner before the questions began.

Our next social event will be lunch at the Lucknow Tavern Friday, August 8, at 12 noon. There will be a courtesy bus pick-up at Robinson Park for the first ten ladies to book a spot.

Judy, Trish, and Veronica were beaten in the semi-final by Annette, Phoebe, and Jane, who then competed in the final against Cowra with Cowra taking the win.
