Bowls washed out

 

The recent Easter bowls carnival at Everglades Country Club was a partial success with play washed out on Saturday and Sunday.

Event organisers said they were particularly disappointed on Saturday as 70 men bowlers were to play turn-about triples.

Good Friday mufti open pairs filled both greens.

Josie and Ralph Wheate, who were asked at the last minute to play to make the numbers even, won the event.

On Easter Monday, the greens were again close to full with bowlers playing Open Novelty Triples.

A total of $400 in mystery envelopes was handed out at random during the game to skilled bowlers who performed the required shots, such as first skip to put a jack in the ditch.

A barbecue was held after the game.

Despite the rain, the greens ran very well.

The next carnival is on Queens Birthday weekend June 8, 9 and 10 with $1400 in prize money available.

For more details see the entry form on the club boards, or phone Doug on 4344 4600 or Gwen on 4344 6474 for a brochure.

Everglades Bowling Club runs a meat raffle every Saturday night at 5pm, with 10 trays of meat being won.
