Margaret Elliott Pairs Competition - Saturday 9th October 2021

Two teams, Geoff & Sue and Steve & Marcus, travelled to ISCA on Saturday 9th October to take part in the Margaret Elliott Pairs Competition. Each pair had to play five matches initially. The top eight pairs then went through to the quarter finals.

Steve and Marcus were successful in their group and went through to the next stage. After semi final success they found themselves in the final against Goodleigh. Steve and Marcus eventually came out on top , winning by 9 shots to 5. 

Well done to James and Emma for organising and running the competition.

Last Bowling Sunday Summer 2021

Now the weather is improving its time to spend Sunday outside doing all those activities instead of short mat bowls like eating ice cream. With this in mind the last Sunday for bowls this Summer will be 11th July.

Bowling will then be scheduled every Wednesday only until the 25th August. After which we will be back to bowling twice a week again.

Have a great Summer. No more than two ice creams at a time.  

Stay safe.
