What a wonderful day of fun and frivolity was had by 48 men and ladies last week for our Irish Day the eight rinks played with all dressed in something green!
The clever bowlers who scored resting touches were Ann Nelson Trevor Currey and Mary Everson with the winning rink going to Wayne Moon Deanne Williams and Don Hodson.
The Best Dressed lady was Ann Nelson with Bob Grant the Best Dressed Man. A Spider competition was won by Ann Nelson and Kay Toohey and raffle winners were Rob Priest Lesley Dunstan and the hamper won by Dawn Parker (ParkesRD).
We had four visitors from Parkes who were so happy to share the day with us
The Menu for lunch was spectacular! Irish Stew and veg and desserts with green jelly trifle and green cupcakes.
The ladies must be congratulated for their effort The Rainbow and Pot of gold and Fines for kissing the Blarney Stone all added much laughter and following on this success we will be organising something for Mothers Day.
There will be three games of Major Pairs played this week.
- Annette Tisdell and Leisa Burton versus Pam Stevens and Anne Walker.
- Loris Stewart, Mary Everson versus Ann Mackay and Sandra Priest.
- Judy Girot, Colleen Dean versus Alison Cutcliffe and Pat Hodson
