As the Christmas season draws near, activity at the Ayr Bowling Club has eased, with many members heading off for holiday festivities. However, the spirit of social bowls remains alive, ensuring skills stay sharp and friendships flourish.
Men’s social bowls on Wednesday saw two engaging games of triples. The winning team of Ron Smythe, Happy Horan/Ray Wall, and Col Essex triumphed over their opponents John Pirrone, Margaret Chapman, and Lew Stidston.
Wednesday night social bowls brought a lively evening of play, with Tricia Achille, Rob Jorgensen, and Ross McLaughlin winning the first game, while Evelyn Wiltshire and David Burt claimed victory in the second. Congratulations to all the winners!
On Saturday afternoon, the warm weather didn’t deter members from enjoying a great session of mixed social bowls. Three games of triples were played, with the team of Paul Vass, Lorraine Wolffe, and Joe Grabbi securing the Christmas goodies as the afternoon’s top performers. Additional festive prizes added to the cheerful atmosphere.
Looking ahead, the club has announced its social bowls schedule over the holiday period: Mixed social bowls will take place on Saturday, 21st December and there will be no bowls on 25th, 28th December, or 1st January. Instead, mixed social bowls will be held on Tuesday, 31st December, with names to be submitted by 12:30pm for a 1pm start.
The Ayr Bowling Club extends warm Christmas wishes to all residents of the Burdekin region. May your holiday season be filled with love, laughter, and joy. The club looks forward to sharing more updates and highlights in the new year.
