Indoor bowls
Vera did not want to play skip, we said you will be right Vera. Vera played very well when Vera was down.
Sandy would say just get into them a few times, Vera got the shot but her luck run out when she came up hard and took the jack off Vera team with Sandy, Joyce, and Betty Mc, two loses and one draw got the chocolate.
Runners up Sue, Betty Rees,and Doreen Rogers one lose one draw, and one win 23 points.
Winners for the day Wilma, Lariane, and Gloria, two wins one draw, 30 points good to see Gloria and Allan back to play bowls.
Indoor bowls are played every Wednesday afternoon names in 1.15pm for 1.30pm start.
Every one is welcome, all you need is your self and a good sense of humour. We have every thing there.
Thought for the day.
So why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? Because our past is not as important as our future. So look ahead and move on.
