Triples Round-Up Tuesday 27th October 2026
The day started out with slightly overcast skies but became sunny with no wind making for ideal bowling conditions. 78 players registered for Triples competition today, playing on both C & D synthetic greens.
Joe Caruana, Terry DeBoo & John Young thank you for filling in at the last minute.
Thanks to Wayne Peart for coming in early and helping out to organise the day.
The next Tuesday Triples bowls will be held on Melbourne Cup Day 3 November 2026. We will be running Sweeps for the great race and during the second game there will be a halt to play to view the running of the Melbourne Cup and to have lunch.
Going forward each Tuesday weather permitting, the social bowls organisers will check with the Green Keeper to determine if able to bowl on one of the grass greens. Any bowlers wishing not to bowl on grass to inform the organisers and their team will bowl on the synthetic green for the day.
Best wishes for those having a Birthday this week. Happy Birthday to Liz John, Geoff Keynes, Rob Cooper, Rob Hilton & Paul Brown.
