Desert Open International Triples Tournament
Hello Fellow Bowlers,
This is a friendly reminder that our tournament is just over a month away, and our Early Bird Draw for a wine tour for four, from Swiws Wine Tours is only a few days away! We do still have a few openings for teams and would love to have you visit our beautiful little town.
All teams entered and fully paid by May 15 at 12 noon, will be eligible for the draw. This will be held at 5:30 pm on Friday, May 15.
If you are a singleton or a pair, and would like to enter, please do so with your fee ($100/person which is $300/team) and we will ensure that you have a full team to play with that weekend.

What a great time to gather with friends and fellow lawn bowlers. Have fun, share some laughs, get to know one another a little better, and make some friends. This Social time happens in the winter session from 3:00 to 4:30 after short Mat on Fridays and Sundays, and during the summer, after the Friday and Sunday afternoon games. Cold drinks are available from the bar, and soft drinks and water from the fridge and if you prefer a hot tea, that can also be available.
