We have had almost 290mm of rain this month, much of it falling on bowling days. Tuesday was washed out, but we had a good turnout on Thursday for the Elements sponsored trips. Vouchers were won by Chris Purchase, Colin Watson and Shelagh Bowness. Our thanks to the Elements establishment, which more and more of our members are patronising. Dr Andre Morrish who was due to address club members on orthopaedic matters had an emergency call and could not get to the club on time. He has re-scheduled his visit for Thursday 2 March.The Chicken Run sponsored by Quarry Spar on Saturday was won by Chris Lake, Jill Bannatyne and Nina Guest. Second prize went to Rob Tosen and Derick Hull who received packs of new potatoes donated by John Fowler. Peter and Sally Wilson between them took home a chicken and potatoes for touchers.
The Committee has embarked on a vigorous drive to recruit new members. If you would like to try the game of bowls or know of potential players, please contact Thelma Mylne (033 343 2020) or Chris Purchase (033 343 2162).
