Versatility Fives
Our Versatility Fives day is always a great success, with eighty players playing bowls on two Greens in teams of five players, competing in singles fours triples and pairs games. The competition is competitive but as always played in a happy and friendly atmosphere. There were three prizes up for the taking and this year: 1st prize went to Bev Murrary’s team from Grafton; 2nd prize to Jen Axon’s composite team and 3rd prize went to Isabel Neil’s team from Yamba. Congratulations ladies. The sponsors were Bendigo Bank, TLE Electrical, Holiday Coast Meats and SGWBC. We thank all our sponsors for their support. The raffle prizes donated by our ladies meant that twenty happy people went home with and extra smile on their face. The 100 Club prize winners were G. Ryan, L. Mackay, B. Ford, D. Robson, B. Murray.
