The Summit Super Social Saturday was a great success for the Summit Bowls Club. 22 bowlers hit the green after a BBQ lunch and found conditions unusually cool for early February. I guess it is the Granite Belt and the Summit, so expect anything when it comes to weather.
Three games of two Bowl Triples and one game of Three Bowl Pairs were played. All games were played over 21 ends.
Good to see Spencer Rowlings on the green and also Mark Spiller a great bowler who hasn’t been seen at the club for quite a while. Mark was lured back for a few games and showed he is still a class act.
He joined, Adrian “Jacko” Jackson and Brian Wilmot. The teams scoring a 22-15 win over Elana Scott, Keith Mungall and Dale Callaghan .
The Club thanks Peter and Maree for organising an enjoyable day.
Despite the success of the day there was a sombre mood as the club, members and visitors observed a minute’s silence and flew the flag at half-mast following the recent death of Wayne Day. He was a great supporter of The Summit Bowls Club and freely volunteered his time to the club. Wayne was a very down to earth bloke, well liked and respected by the Summit members and others in the community. He will be missed by many, and the Summit members extend their condolences to the Day family.
