A great turnout of 48 members of the South West Gippsland Midweek Bowling Group turned up at San Remo to once again fight it out for team of the week.

It was also great to see a few new faces in attendance and we look forward to their continuing presence at all of the games.

The weather was mild to cool and the wind was little more than a breeze; perfect conditions for bowls.

Excellence was the order of the day as very few wayward shots were seen anywhere across the greens.

Thanks go to Gwen, Claire and Bobby for setting up in the morning as well as all their efforts in the kitchen cleaning up after all our efforts to mess it up (not on purpose).

And let’s not forget Haydn and Mick behind the bar keeping our thirsty members happy.

There was lots of laughter and banter on the green as usual.

It really is such a joy playing with such a friendly group each week.

This week’s lucky winners on 34 points were Steven Hickson (S), Michael Saunders (3), Karen Hickson (2) and Elaine Williams (L).

Runners up on a score of 32 were Gerry Dudink (S), Robyn Dahl (3), Mick Sheers (2) and Sonja Grant (L).

Best One Game winners on a score of 23 were Michael Dady (S), Laurie Bell (3), Frank D’Unienville (2) and Marites ‘Mae’ Soledad.

It was great to see Rob jumping in to help; he was not only standing in for John, who is still unwell, but also helped Peter with the teams and the scoring.

This week we will be meeting at Lang Lang to once again fight it out for team of the week.

We look forward to seeing the fine attendance figures repeated and hope to see everyone return.

Please be on site by 10am to allow enough time to prepare the teams.

Meanwhile, we wish all and sundry a really happy Easter with family and friends.
