The main event of the past week was the IF Sponsored Trips on Friday. The field was reduced to ten teams as several regular participants were unable to play. First prize went to Fred Palmer with Dave and Margie Garrard. Visitors Horse Beeching, Margie Höll and Jo Boonzaier claimed the second place. Sincere thanks to Investment Facilitators for the prizes.While only 14 players put in tabs on Tuesday due to the intense heat, we were nearly back to normal attendance on Thursday with five rinks of trips.
Dave Hammond, John Fowler and Ingrid Oellermann were rewarded on Saturday with bottles of wine for winning the competition based on three skins of six ends each. Well done.
This coming Friday will see us playing the last Artisan’s 2-4-2 for this year and Bill’s Christmas Bash will take place on Saturday. If the weather upsets our plans for bowls, the lunch time party will still go ahead.
Other games planned to the end of the year include Artisan’s Roll on 16th, Chicken Run (19th) and Terrace Trips on 24th.
The club will be open for normal tabs-in competitions over the holidays. Visitors are welcome to join us on Tuesday, Thursday in smart casual dress and Saturday afternoons in whites.
