Thursday (5 September) Warwick East held their monthly triples competition, Peter Collis, Glen Preston and Carl Sutherland taking the title.
The runners-up were Kev Mooney, Cita Weier and Linda Hartley. On Saturday at the mixed social bowls they were down a little in numbers, as some of the bowlers were competing in the District Singles in Clifton.
However, they held two games each of pairs and triples and the equal winners were Peter Dipplesman, Chris Lawler and Bill Lee. The attempt at the jackpot was unsuccessful.
This coming Saturday (14 September) the club will hold a fund-raising day for Julie Foster and Sue Butz, who will be representing the zone in the state finals of the Ladies Pairs. The club would like to see as many bowlers as possible attend, not just Warwick East members, but anyone else from the district who would like to support our representatives.
