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.

Club Singles Reminder

Written by Robbie Thomas on . Posted in Need to Know, Upcoming Competitions.

We are Short on Men Participants

This is a reminder of the club singles being played on August 12-14.  The registration for this tournament closes on August 5.

At this time, I need 3 more men to participate so that all who have signed up will be able to play.  If you are playing in the novice or intermediate singles you may still play in the singles on August 12-14.
