Women's 4's
Seven teams started this Championship and by the close of play on Sunday the finalists had been decided. Angela Boyd (skip), Sheryl Glock, Marie Fenton and Barbara Exeter will play Sue Brock (skip), Del Girven, Maree Turner and Lynda Boyd. In the semifinal the scores finished tied so an extra end had to be played and Sue's team was victorious. This was the first loss for Angela's team so the two will meet again at a future date to play the final.

Men's Fours
Twelve teams started in this event and by Sunday night the Finalists had been decided. The semifinal was between Rolly Hoare (skip), Peter Thomson, Gary deRidder and Lyndsay Martin and Ross Hamilton (skip), Peter Turnbull, Jack Philip and Bryan Gilbertson. Rolly's team won this game so they will play the final against Barry Hanlen (skip), Brian Annear, John Hanlen and John McLaughlin.
 

OVER 65's
You will all have noticed by now that there is a brand new competition coming up for the "experienced" bowlers ie. the over 65's.

Your club has initiated a series of tournaments for us older players. Each competition will be held on a Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday being qualifying day and Thursday "sudden death". The singles is the first competition and is being played on Wed 10th and Thurs 11th Nov. It is an open competition ie. open to all clubs, so to be sure of a place get your entries in to Lois on 8446121 quickly.

The pairs, being held in December, the triples in January and the fours in Feb, must contain at least 1 member of the opposite sex, not hetero as shown in the handbook. It is intended to be a fun competition.

The entry fee is only $10 per player and we feel prize money is good at $100 each for the winners and $50 each for the runners up. So get cracking and make this new competition a winner.

HELPERS WANTED - Men's Championship Singles
Our Club Men's Championship Singles will be played on Saturday 30th October starting at 8.30 am
Sunday 31st will be the second day - and the numbers of markers will gradually reduce as players are eliminated.
Markers are urgently needed both days.

Entries in this event are larger than usual. That must be a good sign for the club but it poses headaches for the organisers. It is possible that the first day may be played in two divisions until numbers become more manageable. If volunteer marker numbers are too few then players may be asked to help with marking. Please be prepared - and watch the noticeboard.

If you can assist please add your name to the sheet provided in the shed.
If you are only available morning or afternoon please indicate that alongside your name.
Thank you.
