There was plenty of banter on the green at the Southern Cross Bowls Club on Saturday. 20 players including a group of visitors from the Queensland Railway Institute played Crazy Pairs.
Julie Buse and Kim Hankinson were the winners and are hoping it was a stepping-stone to a win in this weekend’s District Mixed Pairs.
Dave Scotney and playing partner Cate were not as fortunate and don’t head into the district competition in winning form after their results at the weekend but perhaps they will be better for the run. Good luck to both teams on Saturday.
Gary Penn and John Lawardorn somehow managed to secure a prize. I am reliably informed that it was more likely to have been for ‘Best banter’ rather than style.
The club welcomed new members, Nick Farmer, Julie and Alan Buse who reportedly looked fantastic in the Southern Cross shirts.
Today, (Thursday 2/6) the ladies are holding their Committee Meeting at 10.30am.
A working bee has been planned for this Friday, (3/6) at 1pm. I understand that this will enable the grounds to be manicured and the silver to be polished prior to the District Mixed Pairs which will be played at the Cross this weekend (June 4 and 5).
Due to the District competition there will be no social bowls this weekend.
On Wednesday (8/6) the Turkeys will again be let loose for the Turkey Triples at the Cross. It is a 10am start and the games director is Clark who can be contacted on 0427 673 277.
Looking further ahead the club will host the Jumpers and Jazz Open Fours Carnival on Sunday 24 July with $1000 prize money up for grabs.
To nominate or for further details contact Clark 0427 673 277or Southern Cross Bowls Club 0407 641 158.
Saturday 30 July – Cool Scarves Silly Socks Lawn Bowls. Everyone is welcome. Teams of three or single players can nominate. Contacts are as above.
Finally members of the club send their best wishes to Allan Davidson who recently suffered a traumatic health issue.
For barefoot bowls, social and competition bowls, functions and bar, it is hard to go past the Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. located opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick.
You can follow the club on Facebook or contact the Secretary, Cheryl on 0407 641 158 if you would like further information.
