On Friday, seven ladies enjoyed a game of social bowls and another eight ladies played in the first round of our Club Championship Pairs for 2025/26. In the social game Kathy played double lead with Kathy, Denice T, Maryanne and Veronica defeating Kathy, Lorraine, Vicki, and Judy. In our Club Pairs Championships 25/26 Yvonne and Trish defeated Jane and Julie with Annette and Phoebe defeating Denise L. and Verna.

The second round of Club Pairs Championships will be played on Thursday, October 23. Three of our talented ladies attended the Fiesta Day at Orange City Bowls Club on Tuesday, October 14. Vicki, Kathy and Helen J had a great time with lots of fun and good bowls played on the day. On Friday, October 10, we had a fun social day catching the train to Wellington for lunch and then returning on the train that afternoon. A big thank you to our Social Director Extraordinaire Lorraine for another fun outing.

A reminder that we will be having our Melbourne Cup Lunch again this year to be held on November 4.
