There were not a lot of ladies in attendance last week but those who were there had a lovely time. Our new learners seem to be taking to the game just fine. A few of our ladies were at Parkes for the CWD Pairs and congratulations go to the local team of Annette Tisdell and Leisa Burton who were victorious on the day, beating one of the Parkes teams.

Members are reminded that tomorrow we are having our Mother’s Day Mixed Bowls and Breast Cancer Charity day. Please get your names in and encourage your menfolk (or someone elses) to also come along for a great day. Names in by 9.30am and play to start at 10am. If everyone could please bring a plate that would be most helpful.

All Committee members are reminded that there will also be a meeting after the festivities tomorrow. The winners of the social bowls last week were Pam Stevens and Anne Nixon while the winner of the in house competition was Margaret O’Connell.  Well done ladies.

On Monday, May 8 we played a five table Howell movement. Unfortunately due to a slight issue with the computer there were no scores for the day.

Bridge lessons commenced last week with seven new players. It is still not too late to learn to play this fascinating game.
