Triples Round-Up Tuesday 10th November 2026
A Spring Day with mixed conditions which was humid at times with little wind making for reasonable bowling conditions. 78 players registered for Triples competition today, playing on both C & D synthetic greens. Organising the play for the day proved very challenging with numerous players pulling out during the morning and difficulty getting replacements resulting in some teams playing pairs. Thanks for everybody’s cooperation in helping to make the day run smoothly.
Many thanks for the constructive feedback with improvement ideas with the running of the Melbourne Cup social bowls day ongoing. Next year there will be one person not bowling to run the sweeps during the great race day so that nobody misses out buying sweeps.
Lindsay Packer, Bill Blackeby & Kym Butterfield thank you for filling in at the last minute.
Wayne Peart who has been coming in early to help organise Tuesday Social Bowls has now joined the organising team and he is a very welcome addition.
Best wishes for those having a Birthday this week. Happy Birthday to Ian Edwards & Rob Jackway.
