Bowlers get down to business

Rob Lees’ team Numbskills was in winning form.
Weather has disrupted play in the Tuesday evening business house bowls at Warkworth, but there have been so near-perfect weather nights as well.

The weather has disrupted the business house bowls at Warkworth Bowls, but the club still hopes to wrap up the competition this week as scheduled.

An organiser Cathy Parsons says there has been a good response from local businesses, with 19 teams competing.

“For some players, this is their first experience of bowls, while others return on a regular basis to enjoy the camaraderie and opportunity to make contact with other local business people,” she says.

“Two games of one hour each are played each night with a continuous sausage sizzle and piping hot chips available on demand.”

The final night will be held on February 21, where teams will play one extra game to make up for the weather-related cancellation. The evening will finish with dinner and prizegiving.

“Barfoot & Thompson are the main sponsors this year and the club is very appreciative of their generosity. Mason Containers sponsor a team spot prize each week and individual companies sponsor a weekly team prize for the first two players in each game to get a ‘toucher’.

“This provides an incentive to play well.”
