MIXED GALA DAY APRIL 2024
Winners – Terry Tremaine, Doug Whitton, Moya Whitton & Peter Harris
Our club held its Open Gala Day on Monday 8th April 2024. After a weekend of washed-out Open Pennant games due to the adverse weather conditions all the bowlers attending were eager to get onto the green and bowl! Sunny skies prevailed with a slight cooling breeze thereby ensuring that enjoyable bowling conditions would be the order of the day.
The programme for the day consisted of 2 games of 2 bowl 4’s, and 2 games of 3 bowl pairs, all games consisting of 12 ends. Lunch was held between the games of pairs.
Round 1 of the 4’s saw some very tight bowling with close results ensuing. Round 2 which was the first pairs game was closer still. The leader board was updated and now showed three teams with 2 wins each and margin range of +23 to +12.
After lunch, round 3 which was the second pairs game, and round 4 the final 4’s game were held with more good bowling and very tight scores on most of the rinks, however one team came home with a wet sail.
The games were all now completed, the leader board updated showing the team skippered by Peter Harris winning the day with a result of 4 wins and a +40 margin. Congratulations to the team of Peter Harris, Moya Whitton, Doug Whitton and Terry Tremaine on a splendid result.
A big thank-you to all the bowlers from Bulahdelah BC , Forster BC, Halliday’s Sports, Tuncurry Sporties, Tuncurry Beach, and Pacific Palms who took part in our Open Gala Day making it a great success.
