Congratulations to the prize winners and thanks to the volunteers.

Wed. 9th Sept. Pairs Social bowls

Many thanks to Niagara Therapeutics for sponsoring today’s event and to their representatives Cherie Lee and Tim Hendry for awarding the prizes.

It was clear that spring had certainly arrived for although the weather was bright and sunny the high winds associated with this season resulted in a wind chill factor 5 degrees lower than the recorded temperature. It won’t be long before we are moaning about the heat.

Winners: Tag & Betty Hunter
Runners Up: Daniel Krebbekx & Geoff Hutton
Best Second Game: Kevin Willersdorf & John Lynch

The Niagara Gift box was won by an elated Elliot Errington and presented by Niagara Therapeutics representatives Cherie Lee and Tim Hendry.

Thanks to to the volunteers for setting up and running today’s event.

Social Bowls Sat. 5th Sept

For today’s Triples the high winds and gusts made getting the right line very tricky. Those that achieved this to a slightly better degree than the other competitors were:

Winners: Ray Hurst, Neville Jacobsen and Kevin Willersdorf

Runners Up: Phil Menhennett, David Amber and Peter Hallion

Best Second Game: John Lynch, Les Hughes and Steve Dick

Due to a surplus of food from Friday night’s bowls practice and meal today’s bowlers were treated to a good feed of Chicken schnitzel and chips.

Well done to all the bowlers who came to compete despite the adverse conditions and thank you to all the volunteers for their events and making these events successful.

Social Bowls Wed 2nd Sept.

Two games of pairs were played and the successful teams were:

Winners - John Lynch & Roger Hanson. It must have been a very hard fought game as you can see John is having a micro nap during proceedings.

Runners Up - Lee Perkins & Phil Menhennett. They are made of sterner stuff & appear very pleased with themselves.

Best Second Game - Daniel Krebbekx & Robert Lee.

During the break between the two games hot chips prepared and served by Mark Doley & Jay Perkins were washed down with a mug of hot tea. Amazing how enjoyable the humble chip can be when served during events such as this.

Saturday 29th Social Bowls - last game for the 2026 Winter Season.

Two games of pairs were contested
Winners: Anne Wood & Mike Gierke
Runners Up: Ray Hurst & Bob Harrison
Best Second Game: Graham Cowling & Scott Mitchell

Peter Hallion supplied the pumpkin over which the Fairy Godmother, alias Andrea Radley, waved her magic wand and turned it into pumpkin soup. Everyone was in awe of Andrea’s powers and greatly appreciated the soup. Rads, the Fairy Godmothers assistant, had a word with Peter H and requested that next time he grows pumpkins he grows them straighter to make them easier to cut.

That rounds up the Winter Social Bowling season made possible by the many volunteers working behind the scenes and front of house. Many thanks to all those people.

Tuesday 25th Social Bowls Last game for this Winter season.

After receiving about 35 mm of rain in the last 24 hours conditions were looking dubious for today’s game. However, the Patron Saint of Bowling came to the rescue and acceptable conditions prevailed.

40 players from Victor Harbor, Strathalbyn, Milang and Goolwa played two games of pairs. During the break Mark Doley and Jay Perkins served hot chips, always a crowd pleaser. After the second game the players were treated to hot Donuts from G-Town.

The Winners were: Steve Rose & Geoff Wood with a score of 59+24.
Runners Up were: Phil Shillabeer & Kym Kotz with a score of 57+13
Best Second Game went to Graham Wilson & Paul Horner with a score of 28+7

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to the volunteers for setting up the greens, the kitchen staff, the bar staff and the organisers on the desk.

No Social Bowls next Tuesday
