Last Wednesday we had our Christmas Party because we have been saving $1 a week and what a fabulous feed. We shared with the ladies and they supplied the salads and sweets. We even had some awards to present. The most travelled player clocking up 1998 klm for the year was Jim Malloy, just ahead of Bill O’Connell who travelled 1848 Klm to play each Wednesday. The most regular players went to Bill O’Connell and Laurie Crouch, while the runners up for regularity were Fred Vogelsang and Christian West.
Awarded for best organisers were Alf Davies, Ray Dunstan and Geoff Williams. Our most improved players went to Denis Byrnes and Eddie Gould as their game has improved out of sight.
There was a prize for the best friendly banter but we had to award three as they could not be split: Ray Drabsch, Barry Shine and Kerry Dunstan.
The final award went to our rising star, Trevor Currey. Trevor scored the highest number of points during the year.
Prior to lunch we had the usual games filling six rinks. We were pleased to welcome Jim McLuckie back and note he had a win. Ernie Egan made a comeback. Well done all.

Presentation: The presentation of championship polo shirts was held last Sunday. Next year presentation day will be different as we had a very poor attendance. Those who did attend were happy to receive their awards and enjoyed a nice lunch.
The Christmas raffle will be drawn on Sunday 23rd December after the final of the Bentick Trophy.
Please note there is no Moxey Mini Pairs Saturday.
Enjoy your bowls and have a very Happy Christmas.
