The prizegiving for the 2023/24 season was held at the Leigh Bowling Club on Sunday, August 18.
Unfortunately, there were a number of members who could not make it on the day, but those attending enjoyed the presentations and the drinks and afternoon tea that followed. The 60s social night on August 23 was a great night with some very interesting costumes appearing.
The opening of the new season was held on Sunday, September 1 and was enjoyed by all. The bowling season will get underway with drawn pairs this Saturday, September 7. The first tournament of the season will be held on Saturday, September 28. It will be the Cameron/Penney Tournament, sponsored by Steve Cameron and Gis Penney. We are crossing our fingers that the weather will support us and allow these events to take place. Spectators welcome and the clubrooms and bar will be open.
The club recently welcomed a new Life Member, Peter (Pedro) Manuall. Pedro has been a stalwart of the club for many years and is still active and contributing in his role of organising club events.
Our Club Draws continue on Wednesday nights with Dick Penney winning $500 recently.
Business House Bowls will start next month and anyone wishing to enter a team in this social evening needs to contact Biscuit on 027 590 4829. The bar continues to open at 4pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. All welcome.
