Commiserations go to our members representing the club, who competed in the NSW Rookies Pairs Regional championships on Saturday, a valiant effort by Simon Kempson and Cameron Smith. The Club is immensely proud of the effort, with such close games.

Also commiserations go to Ash Beadel, Greg Campbell and Geoff Lockwood, who competed in the State Final of the BPL Cup at Mount Lewis. The fellas did their best with a really tough draw against a home team of Mount Lewis 1st up and then St. Johns Park in their 2nd game, you also gave it your best shot.

The Country Club is holding a School Holiday Family Day on Friday, 3 October. If we could get some more volunteers, it would be much appreciated. Young people keep the club going. See Michele at the club, if interested.

It was also great to see an ex-member who has moved to the Central Coast, Noel (Elbows) Elborn, visiting the club over the weekend.

Hoping our members who are on the sick as well as the recovery list are on the mend. Our thoughts are with you all.

Bowls Etiquette tips:

It is courteous to stay silent and still while opponents are on the mat and always delivering your bowl from the correct position.

Happy bowling!
