Get ready for ‘Talking Travel’ which is due for Monday July 8 from 4.30pm – 6.30pm at Yamba Uniting Church Angourie Road.

A great day, good company, tactical games and home ground advantage, saw Iluka victorious in all six games. Thanks to them all for a very good meeting. Then, on Friday, Gail and Hans, Oliver and Francis, Rae and Keith, played Rosemary and Mal, John and Stella, Andrew and Joy from Yamba Bowling Club. It was another good day, fine and sunny but with a biting wind. We played six games then adjourned for morning tea and hot coffees, time for a chat and catch up. Final game was played and a tight contest ended with home team 40 hoops to visitors 39. Oliver scored a hoop to hoop and Mal his first ever jump shot. Congratulations and thanks to all players. While the close fought Pennant matches were underway others played on the third green during the Pennant games. Jean and Howard were welcomed back after a break. Lucy and Howard had three wins and Jean two. After the matches everyone joined in, Morna had two hoop to hoops, and Ros a jump shot in the same game.
