SHOOTING
SOUTHERN Downs Rifle Club Results:
Shot at 400 yards: F Standard Rifle possible 126. Dave Taylor 120.5, Graham Eagle 120.4, Craig Clark 108.3, Dave Norman 82. F Open Rifle possible 126. Margaret Taylor 114.3, Bob Tyllyer 114.4. What a great morning with bright sunny weather and a light shifting wind that only improved as the event progressed. Top score for the day was hotly contended, but finally taken by Dave. A special mention is due for Margaret who on 7 June scored her personal best of 119.6 and also had the top score for the day. Is that OK Dave? www.southerndownsrifleclubwebsyte.com.au.
WARWICK BOWLS CLUB – MEN’S SECTION:
TODAY is the K.F.C. sponsored bowls with names in by 12.30pm for play at 1pm.
Jack Pot bowls was played last Wednesday, but a winning number did not come out so is Jack Pot to $150 next month, so get your team names up on the board if you wish to play.
The result of Self Selected Pairs played last Thursday and Saturday: E. Welsh, P. Collis d I. Campbell, B. Johnstone 22-19. This game was 19-all going into the last end. Ian had the shot on the last end, but Peter came in with his last bowl and won the match by 3. Great match to play and to watch no doubt. T. Seaniger, J. Ruhle d D. Warr, B. Black 20-18. This game was also tied with both ends on 18 all going into the last end. Have not heard who got the winning shot, but well done to Tom and John. Another great game – you wouldn’t see any better on Fox T.V… These four fellows may have missed their calling.
Coming events:
Saturday 20 June: Social bowls and Self Selected Pairs Final between Edwin Welsh and Peter Collis versus Tom Seaniger and John Ruhle. Best of luck to both teams. Saturday 21 June: Men’s Open Carnival. Wednesday 24 June: Day is sponsored by Rob and Sue Valentine and Bev and Doug Christensen.

At the special meeting held on Sunday “Grumpy“ Carson was elected chairman of the board and Barry Friend was elected vice-chairman. Margaret Wright was elected to fill the board vacancy. It was decided to leave the filling of the vacant men’s secretary position to the men’s committee. It was suggested at the meeting that Sunday afternoons might suit people better than Saturday afternoons for social bowls. Members’ feedback would be appreciated.
