This week, Ayr Bowling Club members were fortunate to return to the green on Wednesday for bowls games after the recent wet weather, which had kept players off the green. Despite the weather, the club’s spirit remains strong.
In game news, nominations for the Men’s Club Championships have now closed for the Fours, A Grade Singles, and B Grade Singles events. The draw is posted on the board in the clubhouse. Nominations for the Country Pennants and Purple Pennants are also displayed on the clubhouse board. Members are encouraged to sign up for these fixtures, with selectors available for any questions.
Wednesday's games saw 18 players turn out, a good turnout considering the very hot weather. The club is especially grateful for the overhead cover during this time of year. Three games of triples were played, with the winning team consisting of Joe Papale, Vince Bettia, and Ron Soper, who defeated Cissco, Lachlan Grantz, and Col Essex.
Looking ahead, pending better weather, the Ladies will also be returning to the green for their bowling games. It is an exciting time for the club as both the men's and women's teams prepare for upcoming competitions.
Saturday's event was proudly sponsored by Phelans Pies, a valued sponsor for many years. The club extends its heartfelt thanks to Phelans Pies, as their sponsorship makes these events possible.
Saturday saw 30 players participate, which was fantastic, with five games of triples played. The results were as follows:
1st place: Linda Guimelli, Merle Nixon, and Anthony Bull, who defeated Bob Young, Lachlan Grantz, and Pam Power.
2nd place: Katarina Stuckler, Beryl Cornford, and Sam Caltabiano, who defeated Paul Vass, Joe Grabbi, and Sandra Stidston.

4th place: Donna Soper, Ron Smythe, and Ron Soper, who defeated Arthur Gauvin, Col Essex, and Wayne Coonan.
The club also continues to host Friday Roll-Ups, which take place every Friday afternoon from 3:00 to 5:30 PM. These casual sessions offer members the opportunity to hone their skills, receive friendly training tips, or simply unwind with a drink. It’s the perfect way to start the weekend and socialize with fellow club members.
