NOT TO BE MISSED END OF SEASON DINNER
10 PLACES AVAILABLE - BOOK NOW

Each person attending will receive a complimentary ticket to go in the raffle for a Meat Tray.  We will also be conducting a Members Draw with $200 up for grabs, and you need to be there to win it.

Ladies Indoor Carpet Bowls

Calling all ladies interested in playing indoor carpet bowls. For those who haven’t played this before, this is an enjoyable game, especially during the winter months.

It will not spoil your “big” bowls. Most of the ladies in the Association play both lawn bowls and indoor bowls. You can do both. Pennant games begin on Tuesday 29th April. Tuesday Indoor where it is warm and Thursday outdoors, weather permitting.

Please let me know if you wish to play so I can register your name. If you intend to go on holidays for some of the winter, don’t worry, we will have extra players. The first practice is on Tuesday 22nd April.

If you wish to make a cash payment, please place your money in an envelope with your name and place it in the blue box at the club.

A Green Maintenance (April 14)

I am planning to top-dress A green with about 1 ton of sand, trying to increase the speed a bit. This involves scarifying the green and then spreading the sand via a small fertiliser spreader over the entire green. There is plenty of sand in the shed for this purpose but it needs to be brought up to A green via wheelbarrows. 

My back injury prevents me doing this so I will require 2 or 3 strong, younger helpers to assist. I anticipate this will probably take about 4 to 5 hours. Once the sand is spread it will require watering and rolling over the next few days, so there will be opportunities to learn how to use the roller.

Any person able to assist on this day, please advise me on 0414 390 287 asap. If successful, the same procedure needs to be repeated before pennant season on B green.

  • Thanks for your interest, Ulli.
