Social Bowls Winners Circle.
Wednesday. 22-11- 2017.
Well there will be no bragging about there being 46 bowlers this week, as there was only 40 nominations, that is still a good roll-up.
The winners on the day were decided by the team with the lowest winning score, with that team consisting of Neville Cork, Errol Coles & Al Pye 18 shots, by 1 shot over Don Caldwell, Peter Hawker & Jon King with 17 shots.
Runners-up were John Downie, Gerry Harvey & Jerry Simmons, 21 shots, over Tony Fryer, John McNamara & Ian Smart 15.
Earliest resting toucher award went to Ray Gale, with his resting toucher at 1249hrs.
In what turned out to be a very hard fought out match, the Dixie Dean Trophy played & won by Alan Chisholm, Rod Holman & Peter Jones, who after sitting nicely with only ends to go, gave away 6 shots on the second last end, meaning they had to win the last end to walk away with the Dixie Dean Trophy.
Win the last end they did to deny the team of Garry Evans, Paul Read & Greg Ryan victory, by just 1 shot, by scoring 23 shots to 22 against. Well done Alan, Rod & Peter.
Saturday. 25-11-2017.
A good roll- up of bowlers once again, & good to see as well, 24 in total (6 rinks pairs).
The winners on the day were decided by the pairing with the lowest winning margin & that pair were Alan Chisholm & Peter Jones (again) 18 shots, a shot margin of 5 over Tony Fryer & Peter McKay 13 shots.
Runners-up were Graham Cummins & Brian Seaman, 21 shots, a shot margin of 6 over R. Treblecore & Dennis Maggs 15 shots.
The Jack-Pot Joker lucky rink draw was carried out to determine the winning skip on that rink who would cut the deck of cards in an attempt to turn up the JOKER & claim the $440 Jack-Pot, but was only able to come up with the Jack of Diamonds, so it is on again next week worth $460 & 1 less card in the pack.
Sunday. 26-11- 2017.
Christmas in November Joes Special Mixed bowls had 18 bowlers (3 rinks triples) come along to see if they may be able to walk away with some early Chrissy presents.
The winners on the day were decided by lucky rinks, & those winners were Darryl Goodridge (Son belong a Kevin) Joe Halsey & Shirley Pilgrim 15 shots over Clare Cork, Pam Grant & Jean Voss 14.
Runners-up were Cindy Newell, Pat Wood & John McNamara over Neville Cork, Isabelle Halsey & Maureen Nankervis.
Anyway the real Christmas is just around the corner, so those who missed out on a present now have got another chance then.
Novice Singles Final.
As the name implies novice is for those who have been playing for short while.
The winner of this event was Peter Dillon (a very talented bowler) with 25 shots, over another up & coming in Darryl Goodridge 17 shots. Well done Peter; keep persevering Darryl.

Triples and pairs games were played at last Tuesday’s social bowls. Before heading on to the green Merrie Downie was all smiles after winning the 50 Club, while Pat Wood was the lucky raffle winner.
Eventual game winners for the day played pairs on rink 11, where Marg Naylor and Mavis Hardy (skip) combined against Pam Grant and Bev Bowater (skip).
After a close start Pam and Bev held the advantage after nine ends, then Marg and Mavis found an extra gear to win a few in a row, before going on to claim the match.
After presentation night on Friday there are only two more Tuesday bowls days for this year, so ladies please put your name down for our Christmas break-up day activities.
Narooma RSL Bowls
Friday 24th of November saw a good turnout of eager bowlers enjoying a great afternoon of bowls.
The winners, with the Margy’s draw of highest winning margin were Bill Wilton, Pam Grant and Peter McKay (skip) who started strongly to lead 14 to eight after 11 ends and continued their fine form to take their match 26 to 12 against Auralia Robinson, Margaret Naylor and Barbara McNamara (skip).
The next RSL Bowls day is Friday, December 15, so put your name down now as, unfortunately, this will be the last RSL Bowls day.
